KLV

I just watched the press conference. My angst is alleviated somewhat, jones is a class act, there is no doubting his sincerity and investment. The email from the club is good in its honesty re saturday's effort, but begs the question, WHY were the intensity and effort not there? Jones also admitted the criticism of their first quarter effort was 100% warranted, and here I believe he wants to separate the players from the playing group, and for the players to take the blame alone. The coaches did not encourage the poor effort at the start, it was the playing group that did not execute the coaches message. my question is what to do? Is it the coaches failing for not having the playing group in the correct mindset? Or are the on field leaders to blame? ive gone from despising wce overnight, to admiring them. Once we lost they had an opportunity and they took it with determination and guts. Well done! we seem to be the only club that can't find motivation when we need it. It should be instinctive at this level. I don't get it.

WCE players still get paid this week too, other teams find motivation. Our teams lack of it is a cruel mystery

I'm also still pretty angry. I even dreamt last night about the Adelaide wce game today. How sad is that? meanwhile the flag out the front is at half mast, my husband lowered it in anticipation of my mood upon returning from the game!

I agree with this 100%, Rjay, but also the umpiring inconsistency is infuriating. On the Monday they come out and can justify every free kick awarded, but it is the free kicks that are missed that are the problem. Oscar's 60 cm 'throw' in the 3rd quarter I think, was pinged, but the other 30 odd throws yesterday were not picked up. Etc etc, holding the ball decisions , once they set the tone by paying a holding the ball, they need to then apply the same standard throughout the game to both sides. This rarely happens, and is exemplified by that ridiculous free from 100 metres off the ball awarded to Brisbane by that idiot Razor Ray.

Just go home, after a drink or two for solace. I vowed not to come near here, but like a moth to a flame, I'm drawn to the suffering of my type. how frustrating was that? If you had to write a template for a typical effort surely that would be it... a let a 5 goal lead happen in quarter 1, don't bother too much tackling, and make sure we handball and kick straight to the opposition at least 10 times a quarter. Yep that should get the job done. [censored] off.

100% north are tanking. After it became a topic in the media a few weeks ago, they thought they better put in a mammoth effort for their next game, beating us. since then just back to losing, they are much better than 18th tanking is a little more nuanced these days.

Yuk

The bloke next to him is likely further to confirm MFC supporter stereotype - feather in his hat, tweed jacket with leather elbow patches.

Now that is straight from Danny from Droop st!

Where's the justice? The mercenary has another very good game, 3 votes from Mick Malthouse, and will win a flag, if not this year, then the next. The loyal player, equally talented, is ruinined by injury never to play another senior afl game. Makes me ill.

I went to big footy. Yuk, it's awful. it's one thing to be amongst vitriol from fellow supporters, but to have norf idiots rub it in is quite another,

And the game... embarrassing

Demonland broke from disappointment.

Also, it was a horrible, cold and very windy day - might have put some off. Our seats were completely sheltered from said wind, and it was relatively mild, compared with the arctic conditions while waiting for the train.

Thanks Biff

I hope not Steve, we would miss you

Big crowd

I thought it was an invasion of privacy, showing him at his most vulnerable

So you're the one that has been trolling Clementine Ford?

Yes, mums face 100%

He's 19, and plays tough, uncompromising footy, how would anyone expect him to react? A considered response? Turning the other cheek? We all love his spirit, he'll mature, but really atm, he's a kid

100% correct both of you. Add sanctimonious to your description monoccular. Bolton is starting to get on my nerves.

Mine says video unavailable, any clues?

Enjoyed that

OMG!!!
