leave it to deever

I'd say we probably are now though.

We have been well beaten at half time by other teams. But this is the first time in ages I've seen this club not fight back. Disgraceful effort today. Just don't care after halftime.

It probably wasn't that hard to predict that Gus wouldn't play anymore. The club has been complacent with team depth and made some poor recruiting choices lately. How McAdam was chosen when he can't kick a ball past 30 m is a mystery.

Who comes in for Tommo?

Interest factor only if I'm honest. Won't happen. And we won't win I'm afraid.

Sparrow never really delivers. He tries hard but doesn't have the skills for a mid Probably suited to a Cameo up fwd Petty has fallen apart. You forgot Oliver.... Hasn't been great.

Yep.

Not contenders.

Let him walk. The exercise will do him good.

Care factor waning. I mean the players don't seem too. Apologies to all those who flew up.

Today doesn't fill me with confidence that the season is very even.

I'd prefer anyone. Can't be much worse and at least a statement is made. But your right, some terrible recruiting and lack of thereof,by us leaves us with nobody else.

We will make the eight. We will be seventh. This is a club very much in decline as evidenced by the players we have recruited and kept in Schache, Hunter, McAdam, Fullerton, Bbb....to name a few. Where players like Petty gets gifted game after game because there is simply no replacement. We need to rebuild our list and that takes time. Today is not an aberration. It happened two weeks ago against the eagles. And before that to Carlton and the lions. We can be competitive but the difference between our best and worst is vast. Our once touted midfield is alas no longer functioning like it used to and we have one good fwd in Fritta. Today is ample proof of our deterioration.

Like what? This team is done and dusted. Mentally lazy. It reeks of .." but we have won a flag." Us supporters deserve better than this. Shame on these players. Shame on the coaches. I feel sorry for those fans that spent their hard earned going to NT for this game. And why exactly are we playing in Nt to start with? Like we haven't travelled enough this year.

In any good club, players are very mindful of the pressure to perform. Simply if they don't perform they have to play in the twos. Since we stopped recruiting and let some good players leave we don't have enough players in the twos for such pressure to exist. So we get sloppy efforts from players who know they will get a game regardless. We need a rebuild I'm afraid. And the reality of that means a few great players of today won't see another flag.

It's pretty bad but there is a part of me that wants us to be smashed so we do something. I guess we are being smashed But then I think there isnt anything we can do. Our list is in disarray. We have McAdam, Bbb and Schache on our list.

May is up there with him today.

Go away Petty. You are lazy.

He's had a shocker.

This is sadly Melbourne of the old dark days. Our midfield is so broken and slow.

The window slammed shut today folks. We are gone. Sorry.

Agree. Heads should have rolled after eagles disaster. But we don't have the players. The question is why?

Look at the players on our list . There are so many we don't play. Not saying we should but why are we paying them?

They have lost their passion and now skills. No hunger.

We would be lucky to get a bag of old marbles for him . One disposal for a half. No marbles.
