Our Recruiting.
Here in lays the problem though. Our recruiting has been focused on players that suit the FDs shopping list. If this is the type of players they seek , as the ones they have drafted, to suit the game plan then in my view unless the game style changes they'll continue to seek the same. If you don't change the direction of the ship...it's irrelevant who's on board as you're still going to end up in the same place/predicament.

ROUND 4 2006 - Melbourne v Sydney at the SCG
oh... i agree Could get very ugly quite quickly if they get a hold of us. We seem to be persevering with something that plainly isnt working .Sydney must be drooling...

Changes vs Swans R4
Thats sheer frustration Id say. I have a sense his foot isnt anywhere near the ideal and he's become quite limited by such.

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Essendon
Do we even have a Defensive structure ? Seriously...looks like a dog's breakfast at best. Wouldn't surprise me if we didn't just walk up before games and hand opposition free tokens for goals !! We're just that good. This is , and has to be as much about coaching as players.. surely.

Tanking scandal documents
Every team "manages" lists.. We just didn't manage to manage it very well and as have been for many a thing, were scapegoated by the usual suspects. It should have been a non event but we make very handy cannon fodder.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
A tale of two cities also. Melbourne.. seemingly on the cusp of achievement, GC rebuilding and redesigning it's game. Dew would be looking 2-3 years before repeat finals action and such. Melbourne thought it just needed icing the cake. Seems the cakes stale and tasteless and the icing a bit thin . Im just sitting over here watching. Have no real expectations of May now. Just hope he can play a bit.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
It might be a little premature to call this one but it certainly doesn't have the feel about that I was hoping for. Was hoping for someone of very good ability, very good stewardship and raring to go. At the very least I thought he'd be on the paddock. So far....not so good

ROUND 4 2006 - Melbourne v Sydney at the SCG
It's effectively the same ppl on the ground playing to the same instructions from those off the ground. Even when we can see the obvious, the same rubbish prevails. I don't see any reason to suspect any real difference in results. And that disappoints me. Doesn't surprise me.

Goals ?- To trust or not trust debate!
Given the nature of much play I'd counter that they either are and also doing it poorly. Bombing... crowding..over contesting.. It's not accidental. It's by order. Theyre just clueless to implement a bad plan.- Changes vs Swans R4

Fair enough...but how do you excuse plainly poor football skills ? That's nothing imho ever to do with injury etc. You either can...or you can't. Seems plenty can't.- Box Hill Hawks v Casey Demons - VFL Round 1
Too short a break for Stretch ?? Just asking- Box Hill Hawks v Casey Demons - VFL Round 1
Something about Nero and a fiddle ???- Changes vs Swans R4
I agree essentially. However.. apparently it's a no-no and this is why you get stuck in the quicksand. There's a legitimate dilemma though, as much as ol Jonesy's becoming a liability... who's bashing down the door or fit enough ? Catch 22- Box Hill Hawks v Casey Demons - VFL Round 1
Would be....same plan/style/brand- Box Hill Hawks v Casey Demons - VFL Round 1
Care to name and shame ?- Every club's game plan
