Redlagged

The 4 point loss - away, to a good team in red hot form - was far less depressing than the weepy, hysterical response on this site. Now the news that Oliver has apparently been decapitated has fuelled the agonising. Its bloody embarrassing.

3rs in Brownlow playing midfield.

Hope you're right. But frankly - to date - there is no evidence to suggest that Pickett is a midfielder of substance, He simply doesn't get enough of the ball.

Pre-dinner drinks?

Some hysteria abroad. Pathetic. I'm sure the team has more bottle.

Of dear. Just as well he doesn't take notice of the bedwetters who infest this site.

Demonlanders spit dummy

Time to go to bed.

Sounds like it is the end of the world...our third defensive tall and makeshift foward has gone down for 4 to 6. Thought Melbourne was supposed to be a top team. Currently within an injury list most teams would kill for.

This really irritates me. No way Newcombe was in the top 5 players in that game. Mitchell not equipped to give a dispassionate assessment.

Jai Newcombe? Seriously?

Kane Cornes gave Sparrow a big wrap on the tele today. A questionable referee, I admit. I think he has improved a bit this year. But yes he was ordinary yesterday. We are one class midfielder short, unless Pickett makes the transition. He wasn't much chop yesterday, either...but always a threat.

Overrated because he came from another club? Perhaps the opposite is more accurate. Some strange animosity towards him on this site. Regularly plays well.

Cold day in Florence.

Langdon is unaccountable? [censored]. But he hasn't been at his best this year. Long way to go.

Sparrow was v good against Gold Coast.

Wonderful.

Yes, the errors are frustrating. Losing is worse. Have a glass of wine. Does wonders.

Agree. Class player. Skilful. Tough. Smart. Rarely makes mistakes. Very underrated.

Correct...lower your expectations. Am I happy about beating Hawthorn by 9 goals? Yes: are you kidding? Would I have taken a 9 goal win before the game? Stupid question.

Agree. Terrible decision. But an inevitable one. If Bowey had been stretchered Chol would have got the same (tough little bugger, Bowey)...which of course highlights the nonsense of Gleeson's reasoning about taking 'reasonable' action. The AFL and its little world is awash with [censored]. But we knew that. In the meantime Jacob has 2 weeks off to work on his game. He'll be back!

Yes, Robinson sports what is called an 'imperial'. Or is it merely a rancid remnant of his latest hamburger?

Flogging a dead horse pal. Fritsch is a class forward who had a quiet match...but if he kicked as accurately as he usually does would still have kicked three. Can we move on?

Yes it's weird. Was much better than Langdon on the weekend. Yet pilloried.

Regarding the bizarre allegation that Oliver had played a few shockers this year. Just caught a bit of the Channel 9 Sunday show. Oliver is leading the polling. 'Shocking'. FFS.
