Fantastic. Everyone should read this as they log in to this site. And Roost It, I'm in all the way. I know it will take time, perhaps a long time, to turn things around but I will be there. We are going to learn a lot about our list and when things start to improve it will mean so much more to us, the loyal supporters. When we talk about football, we get the right to say "we".

Yes, words are cheap - especially now we'll be getting them inbulk.

He must be in trouble because only one person here refered to Jamar as "Russian". I thought his game tonight was pox. So was just about everyone's though. But I felt exactly what you said Titan; it all started from him.

All you "supporters" talking of giving up and returning your membership cards and so on, I can't believe how your competing to say you’re the most disappointed and how you'li give up on the club. You're [censored] weak. Now is the time to be strong. [censored] happens. Get over yourselves and support the club. When we finally win some games, you can bet that someone at the club will thank the supporters that stuck by them. Will that include you? We are the club. It's ultimately our strength that will get the club through this and if you don't believe this then ask yourselves what happens if we desert them. Understand that returning your membership card or giving up on the team is not a badge of honour – very far from it.

I don't kow what's wrong but I reckon nobody you could name could have coached the Dees to a win today. Why blame the coach? Our list is rubbish.

There used to be a pub in Fitzroy that was frequented by all the degenerates & crims. But the authorities never revoked the pub's licence; the story was that they wanted to keep all those types centralized. That's how I view Collingwood.

I'd love him back. He'd be an opposing coaches problem. Gees, I've forgotten what this thread is about?

Take a look at Mr Neeld running on the AFL site clip: http://www.afl.com.au/video/2013-01-25/melbourne-off-season-report at about the 50 second mark. It looked awfully familiar and eventually I worked out he runs like Morton towards a pack. Is it possible Morton has taught Neeld that? Maybe Neeld is mocking him.

I keep trying to imagine our team playing better but I don't imagine it as enjoyable as in the past. I remember the good times early on under Danniher and how the team would sometimes steamroll the opponents with rampaging tight teamwork comming out of defence and up the ground. I can't imagine that today. Has the game changed so much or have I been watching poor performance too long? Back then,guys like Alistair Nicholson , Jeff White , David Neitz , Cameron Bruce , Nathan Carroll , Jared Rivers, Brad Miller, Clint Bizzell , Paul Wheatley , Travis Johnstone , Adem Yze , Daniel Ward , Simon Godfrey , Brad Green, Russell Robertson , Guy Rigoni , Nathan Brown , James Mcdonald , Peter Walsh, Matthew Whelan seemed so heroic (some more, some less) but we just seem to have hardly any characters anymore. Will this change as we improve (if we improve)?

There's about 12 players of that age or more you could say that about - Nathan Jones, Mitch Clark etc.

At last, a thread where we're not at each other’s throats. All it took was Caro & Morton.

Hey DemonDan, we just don't get street music like this here:

So becuase Jack is the son of a former player, he is better?

Dr. Mubutu, LOL, At last someone who understnds me.

Would we have been better off with Oli Wines or Jack Viney?

No one wants to go near him - you could catch something.

It’s getting extremely difficult to pick a team for round 1. The possible return of injured players Trengove, Clark, Blease etc make it just that much harder. There’s going to be a lot of p155ed of players that arguably deserve a shot. Personally I blame Misson. It’s not too late. To maintain team cohesion we can't simply turn our heads and ignore the fact that we need more injuries.

Dad says Steve Turner and laughed. Who's he?

Thank you for trivializing my frustration. Very constructive of you. I feel so much better now.

lol could be my nickname

I'm so fed up with the use of initials and funny names for things. It's a sort of one-up-manship like having to know the name of all the streets or the every type of wine. I'm so sick of being stumped and distracted everytime I come across that [censored]. And the more some of you do it, the bigger the [censored] I think you are. It's like a bogan metric. Like you're so in the know. Esoteric nick names, "the Hun", "West Toast", "Carltank" - it's just so f'n funny. And RHS? Rex Hunt Syndrome

‘nicest boy’, those 2 words are his 2 biggest problems.

All the excitement about Hogan got me thinking - sometimes an out and out champion could win a team a premiership. I know some people thought, for example, that any team with Wayne Carey and decent players around him was a shoe-in. I think we had a team with Lyon, Neitz & Scwarz up forward but still no glory. Is a certain number of champs required to win the GF? Perhaps someone with better memory than me please go through the last 10 or so years and just see if this is the case.

Cheezes! What have I started? I notice nobody mentioned Bluey for CEO. Does that mean we all agree?

What about a poll?
