The more you look at it the more certain I am actually there IS a connection. That is when the ROT really set in... The demise of this season is everything about how we went about last season...and that last season started with its preseason. Happy to be derided...hell add it to the list Im not slashing wrists. The success of this club has nothing what soever to do with my happiness and state of content. We have no success...so I HAD to find other things to enjoy Cheers

Ive been thinking about this. I reckon they were...just as bad. The difference was whilst we had enough sound bodies , and until we were figured out, then our British Bulldog , gung ho , stack on the mills , rush the ball forwards, contain in 50 ...coerce through the goals style was successful ( as it were ). Skills weren't the #1 prerequisite....just keep corralling the ball forward. But of course you can't keep that up forever. That and everyone including the Chirnside Park under 10's have figured out our devilish little plan. Now we are on the back foot ( often ) and need to have skills, they aren't there. They were never honed nor practised. Only 2-2 players can consistently kick to a position with accuracy and weight. I'm not sure anyone can actually handball except to someones feet or the opposition !! For a team, supposedly at the elite level, we're pretty woeful Red.

yes it was...but in hindsight it possibly has more weight that we were prepared to concede at the time Actually...would have been a masterstroke..really

For mine , in a fashion it wasnt what the actual revolt was about ( though the machinations warrant closer inspection no doubt ) it's that there was even anything that reeked of discord. Clearly everyone IS NOT on the same page. There was obviously a Hollywood style attempt at unity but just like LaLaLand I can only now feel it was all a charade.. Melbourne seems to have become masters of Spin, shame we aren't so good at Football

It was most bizarre to watch I thought. A bit like two wary boxers circling a ring , neither really prepared to lay a real punch, just shadow jabbing. Was very surprised that one , we tried this tact and secondly that Collingwood didnt come off the ropes more. Was like they were mesmerized...lol.. Then Bucks woke them up Round two..they changed up...we fell apart

@Deefensive Language Quite the interesting post. What actually happened and why etc is not something I'm particularly au fait with. That said there have been rumblings in certain quarters for quite some time...( coincidentally...oh...about the time Roos left ) I know that there is nearly always more than meets the eye with these things. A bit of a lid's been placed on some disquiet at Melbourne for some whiles now. Not sure I would concur with everything in the OP, but it makes a provoking read.
