Sir Why You Little

Haha ? pay that one Moonie

Of course it is. But we have learnt to put the average sides away (barring The Aints) last year we won those games by 10 points. The next challenge is The Big One. The one Jeelong worked out mid 2007

YOU are the only person on this forum who QUOTES THEMSELVES and then writes another essay on a topic that you have already covered 15 times already. It becomes very tiresome.....

No. We have improved. Our % of 131 shows me that. But we have reached a big hurdle, and until we master it, we shall progress no further.

Wide awke sunshine, unlike yourself....

Wait 2 weeks

Where is it? i am on a phone and have searched without success

“Most people are saying the same thing” so stop talking to yourself or at least just email your ramblings back to yourself.

We have improved onfield, but we have reached the point, where the next increment is the big one. Beating better opponents Until the side is drilled properly, we won’t. Close enough is not good enough or acceptable

For God sake stop writing the same reply over and over again WE HAVE ALL F$&@ING READ IT

We are a lot better than we were, but now we have arrived at the serious 1%’s Good clubs eat up the challenge, we seem to run and hide so far....

Welcome Gary Pert.

Players can still play with freedom. Balme had a similar philosophy, but they must have desperation to the contest embedded like a template. That is exactly what Hardwick has learnt. It took him an eternity to work it out, but look at the results

I agree. But when the same mistakes are repeated then the Head Coach must be accountable, players are not drilled hard enough to be desperate at every contest (just jogging around....) we have all seen it dr.

It must be rectified, not hope it might be. Goodwin has to be ready to face a good coach with a Plan A, B & C depending how a game evolves. Why is our kicking into the forward line at the ‘G always poor, these fixables seem to just continue... is that not stuff that should be sorted early days?

It’s 100% psychological now i believe. Which is why i still connect history with our current performances. A Melbourne Jumper evokes smirks and laughter to the wider community, has done for a long time (school days for me) and it has never really stopped. Does a new recruit ever feel pity or disdain putting on a Whorethorn jumper for the first time? It’s all above the shoulders Goody

This is the bit i truly do not understand, after what happened in Round 23 ‘17. It is why i worry about Goodwin as a senior coach, i am not crucifying him, but i worry that basic traits like desperation are not instilled in the team as a non negotiable. Yesterday’s loss was bad, but we have seen it all before. 3.12 at halftime is so Melbourne against a serious opponent

Meth Coke will win easy next week, if Hibberd and Melksham do not play. If they are both fit and ready can still see us winning a tough game.

What a humorous thread. Our delivery inside 50 continues to be horrendous and people are wanting to trade a key forward because of it. The kid is carrying an injury which is probably why his kicking has gone off, but to talk of trade is ludicrous Jones goes first in my book. He is done. Father time is at the door ?

That’s the difference. The MFC hope we do well in big games The good sides knuckle down and do it, they refuse to stop until it is done, and if they do fail sporadically, it is very rare that they don’t redeem themselves next week. We are still a long way from that mindset

Fine, do it in silence

Hit the ignore button or go away. I have told you before it’s not hard.

This is exactly the problem. Melbourne players haven’t wanted success, REAL SUCCESS badly enough. They say they do, but talk is cheap, anyone can talk

The club hasn’t been able to handle high pressure for decades. Different personel, different players, but always the same result. It’s all psychological, has to be. We just don’t believe deep down we can win big games, we hope we can win them. Huge difference

It was Dean Bailey actually. The rest of what you have sad i agree with!!
