Unfortunately these two statements have come to sum up Robbo's play in recent years.

Well we certainly don't......

That seems to be a common occurrence !!!

While that seems absolutely true to us, there simply must be some logical reason(s) from the coaching panel for the decision.

Oops, sorry babe !!!

Don't feel bad my dear bub...... I always do, I just can't help myself, and if I don't I feel guilty !!!

Shouldn't that be "anyone" tip Melbourne?!!!

I am of the opinion that while you hope for the best you prepare for the worst........ If (and despite what happened on the weekend it is still round one, and therefore it is still an 'if' and not a 'when') a spoon does come our way this year then so be it. I hate the thought of it, but that would be our reality so we mourn a truly shitty season, and then prepare for the next one with some top notch new talent. But I am simply not prepared to concede anything after one match, no matter how bloody awful it was !!!

Don't you dare [censored] at me bub :angry: All I said was that you never stop supporting the club no matter what happens on the field but you don't have to be happy or stay quiet. I am thrilled that you bought a membership Mono, but please try to read what I am saying before getting snitty with me.

Amen and well said both of you...... You don't have to be happy with the team, but for heavens sake you always support the club.

I just sent you a PM.........

For better or worse....... 6. Jones 5. Johnson 4. Morton 3. McLean 2. Miller 1. Green

Cheers graz ......

Not to put my head into a lions mouth with this question or anything........ But when we were all calling for Newton's inclusion in the side last season and there seemed to be an endless and seemingly useless delay in him making his debut, and there were comments made on here at the time that the reason for said delay was not because of his ability (which I think we can all agree he has in spades) or inability to play at AFL level, but because of "attitude" issues. So my question if you got through all of that is, could what we saw on Sunday be a part of that? Just curious !!!

Wow, what was that like to witness ?!!!

Shouldn't that be Yze's stocks? Or can they not get any lower?!!!

Really ?!!!

Theres always the old faithful...... Dee-stroyed, or Dee-luded, or even Dee-flated

And yet they still only managed to lose by a couple..... So I guess the Saints score of 6.15.51 makes them pretty ordinary as well !!!

It could just be incompetence......

Oh yeah babe, that's much better !!!

So did we actually have a crumber or goal sneak or someone on or closer to ground level up forward? I mean I realise the ball never really got in there yesterday, but this is a common question that has been asked over the last year or so, and I was just curious.

Thank god you beat me to it Jaded, I am not sure I would have been so diplomatic, but I am well versed on this particular topic :angry: ......... But what you need to remember that to the learned minds around here everything that is wrong with the Melbourne Football Club is always Brad Miller's fault.

Good grief !!!

Thank you..... I realise that we have a number of ongoing concerns with the list (ruck, CHF, mid-field speed etc) and you would think, want, need some (wishful thinking for all) of these to be addressed by the coaching staff throughout the year and again at years end. But that is just the point isn't it? Give them a shot to try then line them up. At years end, or at least after more than a round of pre-season games that were by any standard appalling, but may not necessarily be a completely accurate account of exactly where this club is actually at. Now I can here people yelling at me for my "rose coloured glasses" but that is not the case here, I get the realities and want to see how to improve them but I just think we must assess using this year as well as previous years, as these are the players we have right now. Lets also give this new coach with his new assistant team and I guess new techniques and plans to play a few "real" games before we start auctioning off his squad. This is not a criticism of the opening post which was very well thought out and not inaccurate, but come back to me in a couple of months with some more recent critiques of our player altered pool. The same problems could, and probably will still be there, but no-one has any idea of what if any improvement we may have. Just my opinion !!!
