Bring Lynden Dunn back in right away, we need his experience and leadership down back desperately. Move Salem onto a Wing/half forward, he isn't a great defender and we really lack quality delivery inside 50 Move Hogan to CHF, his mobility is his strength so let him use it. Play one of Pedo/Frost/Dawes in the goal square with the simple role of either mark the ball, or bring it to ground and give Garlett/Kennedy/Kent a chance. I would love to see a game where garland gets to crumb off just one forward in the forward line

Lots of peopel were saying dunns ommission wanst that bad last 2 games. He should have been on daniher. Hes tougher than tmcdonald. Poor poor coaching.

After 45 years of following melbourne I have also followed jack daniels, sam cougar and johhny walker.

We need another big forward like daniher or a 2nd ruckman who can move forward. Not at all impressed with garland...hes like howe and plays a good game in six. Its no where near enough. The sooner roos moves on the better. I hope one day poor jack w can string 3 or 4 great games together. His mind seems to be either all or nothing. Cant work him out. Dont know what has happened to kent...he used to be very good. Bugg not much. Lumumnba has expired. Vanderberg read kent. T mac read j watts. Kennedy a great pick up. The umps did help the dons get on their roll yesterday. It wasnt just the 2 to 1 fkick ratio at half time which is a lot but the 2 50m penalties were tough. I guess we will know this time next week to see what what for this season but all signs point to little improvement if any although on paper we look better.

could not agree more there is somthing not quite right about his omission somthing must have happened for him not to be selected or it was just a massive balls up and roos got it clearly wrong

I believe that we will win more than seven. Our list has improved but unfortunatley no where near as much as we all thought six days ago. We may win ten but even then we have a long way to go. Need some bigger bodies and harder nuts at the ball/

Putting aside the horrible loss today, can Melbourne still get at least another seven wins?

You are absolutley spot on with this observation. All the hype from players and staff on the mfc website after stealing the game form gws you would have thought we won a prelim. We have such low expectations they become self fullfilling prophecies. Heres a thought dont pat each others arses until you win four games in a row. That should be our standard from now on. All this hype from players and coaches that we have improved after one game is insulting to us who pay these guys week in week out. The only way we can say we have improved is at the end of the year when we have more than seven meagre wins. In the meantime for the love of goodness knows please, I beg you to respectfully stfu.

i disagree. I think Hogan and all his fellow palyers are bloody lucky to be playing for the greatest afl club in the world. Today revealed that some much more so than others. I know Hogan tries as was his anger at himself against gws. Hogan needs some support and pederson isnt it.

Why didnt roos give hogan a run on the ball in the the third like last week. Seemed slow like are players in being reluctant to make any changes today.

maybe Goodwin should take over. Would we fare any worse.I think Roos has been ok but would a change be worthwhile or is it just a case of shuffling the deckchairs. Although a few have suggested that roos was outcoached today. Maybe this group needs someone that yells at them. It would make the supporters feel a lillte better.

Im right there with you. Fool me once...

i definatley would have put Dunn in against what seemed to be a forward line that was too tall and taking so many marks, The dons took this game much more seriously even making their fans all meet before the game and bringing in all the old stars to meet and great the young team. We got ahead of oursleves and were half asleep. As for next week at least we wont be so cocky. Hope the umpires dont try to stuff up the game next time. They were clearly affected by the huge essendon supporter base. It was a poor display from them.That said...we were just very very weak todaay nd there must be quite a few changes. Hopefully we have some fit players to replace garland, bugg, kent, pederson

Thanks mate its nice that someone understands my pain,,,not a flag while I have breathed......ten wins plus will be a pass this year

Hogan........will not lead

Well this is my first post and and I desperately need to vent after 51 years of supporting my beloved team. If I were in charge I would have censored every player after last weeks escape against the giants. Everyone started saying how good we are. On the official mfc website it was all we have turned the corner ; we are better; we are winners. Maybe just pull our heads in until we have strung together more than one bloody win. After todays loss all that talk about improving doesnt seem to add up. If i were in charge I would find us another decent option for our forward line. We need a star like Daniher not hogan who thinks noone else can fill his shoes. We all want him to be a star but we all saw how just simpy lazy he was today. I love Watts because I know he tries but its sad that he can never play two really good games in a row. Colin Garland just isnt a contender. Hes like Howe and plays a good game in six. Lumumba, I love his attack but just once he needs to look around and not run everytime like someones put a firecracker up his a@#$. Pederson is not the second forward we need by a long shot and is really there to make up the numbers. Poor Gawn had a shocker and I dont think kent has ever played so poorly. Perhaps we (especially the club) should all just settle down and wait until we have won at least two games in a row before we all keep patting everyone on th back. I know as supporters its hard. we love our club. we crave and hope for improvemnet. But the players and coaches need to be honest and not get ahead of themselves or our ablity like we did after sneaking home against the giants by 2 points and gws poor kicking, Thanks for listening.
