15. 15. Can we send the whole team on a camp at the end of the year? A goal kicking camp. Cancel all holidays.

The Afl are looking for these exciting finishes for the underdogs. Good on you umpires.

It's all Carlton now. The umpires are helping even up the free kick count.

Yes, it's all my fault. I mozzed him.

What's wrong with TommyMac?

Thanks for that, but I'm at home following it on the AFL website. No Foxtel. Will have to dig out an old radio out of the cupboard.?

Ten goals Tommy! For confidence, if nothing else.

They can't do anything right.

I can't believe how far behind the radio broadcast is from the play on the ground on the AFL website. There is hardly any point in listening to it.

Fritsch went off with an injury. Anyone know what it was?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Free kicks for Melbourne. Shock!!!!

60 disposals to 23, but what quality were they?

Why didn't the clock move? Another stuff up.

I'm afraid I was half hearted about this survey. Answering the questions was like pulling out a splinter, painful but necessary. Couldn't even think of five words. Only put underperforming. What in all honesty do they expect us to say? I passed on the extra comments section. I really couldn't think of anything, it's all been so disappointing. I also passed on the competition at the end, for the opportunity to be in the team photo with three ( I think) friends. Do not want to be part of that. Please offer a better prize.

Poor old Preuss reminds me of when kids are choosing who they want on their team when they are playing a game among themselves. He is the big overgrown awkward kid hovering at the back of the smaller, more popular kids, his face getting more and more crestfallen as everyone is getting picked instead of him. Finally, he is the only one left and the captain of one of the teams (in movies this is usually the star, the kid who has his own battles with the bully of the story) is forced to take him on, with no conviction that this big lug is going to be any help at all to his cause. Does Preuss wait until there is no one left to pick? Hope not!

I scored it very low. But not the staff on the membership line, they are always polite and helpful.

Well, Wimbledon is on, so in the words of the great John McEnroe - "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!!"

I quoted this simply for the photo of Marty. Lovely young man. This brightened my day. Thanks!!?

Someone complained to me today about paying for their membership by the month (and Grand Final guarantee included). When will this torture end?! was the gist of their complaint. Seeing the money go out of their account every month just rubs salt into the wounds of the long suffering Melbourne supporter.

I will have to start drinking because no one else sounds as depressed as I am. A few bottles of the good stuff must have been consumed this afternoon.

Some of these players need to learn 'footy smarts'. So many times they make wrong decisions. Example; take a strong mark and then play on without weighing up the options, handpassing to a team mate who is already covered and under pressure, etc. Result, turn over, turn over. And for goodness sake why not have a shot at goal if you are within striking distance instead of lobbing it over to no one or the opposition. Take a chance! Take the game on!

WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? TAKE A MARK, DO NOT PLAY ON IMMEDIATELY. YOU ARE WITHIN SIGHT OF THE GOALS. HAVE A LOOK!

Oliver was clearly held by the arm and unable to contest the ball, but no holding the man for Melbourne players. On the other hand a Brisbane player gets brushed and wins a free kick. Rubbish, umpires.

OH, THERE HE IS!
