really? where was the leadership ?

that is the most confounding aspect. The levels of expectation, the pressure of even getting into the finals..the pressure of sudden death...Managed all that..quite well I thought. The opportunity to get an invite to the BIG Dance..... went to water. All between the ears...get it fixed Melbourne...or we'll always be cinderellas....and no Balls !!

Is it really nonsense though to highlight that 'impressive' stat ?

Bucket of Puss

How's the bit about a team that COULD NOT SCORE A GOAL IN A WHOLE HALF OF FOOTBALL sound ? Just wondering. Sounds marvee to me ( not ) That's a record you can wear with pride yeah ?

You marvelously ignore the salient point he made to have a go at the messenger ? lol Bowled middle stump

Or someone who might drop his head, play for frees, half hearted second efforts and go sookilala if it's not his day. No he doesn't do that all the time...but does often enough for some to take notice Anyone thinking he was the difference yesterday is kidding themselves.

I spent the afternoon at a nephews.(hes from WA...yes...an Eagle ) They'd put on a great spread and I was very much looking forward to not only only dining out on the yummy food but on a 4 course dish of Eagles. Instead of a" fine fair" of a game I was served up offal. It seems predatory birds find this tasty. Much of what can be said already has. It was a disgrace to the jumper. It was embarrassing. We were more than capable of matching it with this lot but we we were a world away. If anyone thinks thats anywhere near the effort and ability needed they are so far removed from reality it's not funny. I actually felt for Simon Goodwin. Finals are a game between ears and something went very very wrong. Im not pessimistic about our future, but nor am I quite as optimistic about it right at the moment. The Club has still a mountain of work ahead of it to be truly considered relevant . My definition of relevance means finals footy..EVERY year as a minimum. Not saying you always can...but when you dont you are NOT relevant. At the end I decided I would just go home. I had no taste for a beer or anything really. I just felt gutted. An offer for a lift was kindly refused. I just wanted to be alone.I walked home..all 5 k. My wife got a text from her sister. "Hope XXXXXXX is ok, looked so disappointed, we felt so sorry for him". My wife knew Id be fine by the time I got home. I was. But it seriously makes me sick to my stomach to be on the receiving end of Pity from Collingwood people again!! I thought those days were now behind us. Melbourne should look at history and learn a lot from Collingwood as they did before our halcyon days. They have a line.."side by side we play together , they KNOW how to win the game" Yesterday we did neither. We fell apart and went out with a whimper. Hopefully , apologies to Keating ( something I thought Id never say btw) perhaps this is the trouncing we had to have !! This is THE wake up call. No good being on the stage if you cant perform. Harsh ? well...life's like that isn't it. Go Dees

Google .... stop the pain !!

Speechless

Strangely still supremely confident we'll eventually run out winners by 18. First one bird...then another Go Dees

Takes a Dees gf to over fill it. Next week

Pies are home Hope they enjoy this week Next week is HELL

Richmond...being shown up...they are limited in style. Collingwood exampliflying it. We CAN beat this Collingwood. The flag is ours...if we really REALLY want it

Isn't it Booooootiful

But they won't be ...

Fun game

Golly ...someone's in DEE-nial !! lol Pluckem Dees !!

phwoar !! ? finally heard it in full Thankyou MF

is that not the funniest irony of some time

you need to play like there is NO tomorrow or as some geezer said: “I shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgement, it takes place every day.”

always good to read an individual assessment...i.e not just a sheep Aspects I agree on...some I don't but that in the main is irrelevant as thats just my opinion. Nice to see yours.

There's a reason ...I'm just hoping it plays that way. It's a very bold call. Feel for the lad. ( Lucky more flags coming lol )

Casey ( insert 100 miles ) Preliminary Final i.e. Worlds apart Let's hope it all works out
