Maybe we should have just played him fat: our "elite" training standards broke him!

Being 18th with the players we have at any stage of the season is a disgrace, hard to believe how bad we are traveling this year..30 percent below Carlton cmon

Keep him. Our trading record is pretty bad, Hogan is probably going to bite us on the [censored] and Trac would be even worse.

And all our weekends for autumn and winter

Mistake for Lewis to go on this year

Speed isn’t as big an issue as our team getting beaten in contested and uncontested ball every week, without even mentioning our deplorable decision making and ball use....while we could do with more pace there is no way the current side should be playing as badly as it is, and a few quicker players won’t help until we start getting the fundamentals of the game right again.

Not prepared to completely write the trade off yet but it is a huge concern that we sold the best key forward we’ve had since Neitz and a guy we’d invested so much time, money and effort into for an older, overweight key defender who now appears to have a chronic injury. I think we need to start going back to the draft and get more elite juniors, Hawthorn are the masters of trading to fill needs but we seem to regularly make a hash of it. Could have added a player like Bailey Smith or Zak Butters at pick 6 who both seem to have a lot of what we lack.

He better be the greatest Melbourne fullback ever when he finally gets fit then

We’ve always had fair weather supporters....when we were garbage between 2009-2013 some of the games I went to we were outnumbered by Adelaide or Sydney supporters at the G....there’s probably only 10-12K hardcore supporters who turn up no matter what each week...

That’s 1.5m a year for 2 key defenders, they’d want to get out on the park pretty soon.... We need to target a smart medium forward as well as midfield pace in the off season

We’re not seriously paying May $800k are we?

I just hope we don’t have to wait another 10 years for another half decent season, the ROI on membership isn’t looking too flash right about now

Shizenhousen.

Dees by 50 (screw it Im bored of being negative)

Im not feeling overly enthused about going either but I better make the effort...we need a couple of fans to show up even if the players don't! Hoping for a competitive effort as we'd need an absolute miracle to win...

May better work out considering we could have got the outside mid we so desperately need at pick 6...I have my doubts haven't seen enough of Gold Coast to know if hes any good. Hasn't won a Suns b&f though let alone made the AA side.

So many issues, our main strength contested ball isn’t even working for us anymore and enough said about lack of run and spread. Might be worth doing a Port and trading some players to get some quick kids in

Have we got any kids we can play for the rest of the season?

Massively overrated our list based on one ok year

Yeah Lewis In was a great idea...pacey wingman!

No idea what we're going to produce at the moment, we will certainly win if we play our best footy for the whole match BUT - have only played about 3 good quarters so far this season....

Am I the only one totally unexcited to see old man Lewis back in the team? Too slow!

I know but seriously it feels like our whole list is intercept defenders and inside mids + Max sometimes

Haven't we recruited enough defenders for now how about some forwards!

Viney seems to be gradually getting fitter with each match (his second half was ok against Sydney) so we'd be mad to rest him now.
