whatwhat say what

Defending Schwab big time. Whatley on the attack. Saying that there is no difference btw now and 2 years ago. Pres is saying its old news. Sounds like Neeld is on Shakey ground to me.

Whateley, Alves and someone from the scum on the dial with him.

i actually don't feel any emotional investment in melbourne anymore. i offer to membership as a token gesture to their survival. i can't see it happening. god knows they don't deserve it. in many ways, i would be happier if we folded - then i could just follow football with a clean conscience - just enjoy the great games and ignore the rubbish. no guilt, just enjoying good football.

We won't beat GWS in 2 weeks. Then we'll be rid of him.

watts is just insipid. sub him off.

sylvia, howe, blease, byrnes, clark, gillies, jones, toumpas - all ZERO tackles.

potr adelaide recruit stevenson and heath from west coast and sydney, we pick up byrnes and gillies from geelong. jesus wept.

9-0 tackles this term. that is appalling. and they win the clearance again, again through heppell. no defensive intensity whatsoever.

watts has no idea.

we have no defensive intensity whatsoever.

mitch is a superb kick.

viney copped an accidental knock to the inside of his right knee. classic way to injure a pcl.

has viney just done his knee?

although in saying that wines just won the hard ball, did a lovely dodge, opened up space with a handball. he is an absolute gun.

in other news, gws are doing port over in adelaide.

howe looks that much better pushing up the ground rather than stationed in the forward 50. byrnes is absolutely useless.

grimes would be a star if he was in a decent side. that was selwood-esque - took the mark, took the hit, kicked the goal.

This is too easy for Essendon. An epic belting looms.

No defensive accountability whatsoever. Watson was highlighted on the board yet he's cutting us to ribbons. Either the players don't listen or they're thick as two short planks.

You could argue it's probably both, to be honest.

This 'trust' malarkey speaks volumes to me - clearly fragmented playing group.

Thinking about not impartially, you can only imagine that Vlad and co are rubbing their hands together with glee. There's four years to go in the current tv rights deal. Four more years of incompetence and token subsistence support from the afl will see them frame the argument that two clubs should go from Melbourne. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see the North Melbourne Bulldogs - a combination of three clubs to become one - be part of a 16 team competition from 2017.

it's just very, very sad.

he's lazy and there's no way he'll run all day. won't happen. as bonkers says, our over-sized stocks means we have no runners in the side. we certainly have no line-breakers. blease should be. grimes can be. watts probably wants to be.

if we play one-on-one football i don't think all five ostensible defensive 'talls' - frawley, dunn, mcdonald, watts, and garland - can play back there. ideally it should be only three of them, and mine would be the first three. is watts worth persisting with as a running half-back who, y'know, doesn't fricking run? dawes being crocked means one of sellar or pedersen gets a reprieve for mine. just not pedersen, nicholson is out. preferably forever. B: Jetta - Frawley - Dunn HB: Watts - McDonald - Terlich C: Grimes - Jones - Rodan HF: Sylvia - Sellar - Blease F: Howe - Clark - Davey Foll: Jamar - McKenzie - Viney I/C: M Jones - Byrnes - Toumpas Sub: Kent god we're thin on for quality. shocking side. edit: forgot all about blease. substituted him for garland, who deserves to be dropped.
