spot quiz...anyone notice the very Hawthorn piece of footy that qtr ??...most unlike us...but very explainable

You'd have to think there'll be some media conferences come end of h/a. Our involvement ?? Maybe

has been for decades BBO...a long time

should be marvee...just like co-captains I'd imagine

5 mins ?

I have no real idea whether this is good bad or otherwise presently. I think he does have the runs on the board in certain aspects and whoever suggested we filter his time at the Aints with an understanding of what a basketcase they were shows merit. To tell the truth it asks more questions than it provides answers. The "official" line tells us diddly other than he's joining Melbourne. Doesnt take a Soothsayer to know there is still much to play out. My mail box is getting some interesting feed..unfortunately some contradictory ( but then maybe only in light of what I know...not what we dont yet ) The idea that he's here to provide an ear to Goody doesnt hold much for me as wasnt that exactly what Macca was ... That worked swimmingly. Personally I'll be happy if the FD looks nothing like it did this year ( with few exceptions ) . It was dysfunctional and splintered. Happy enough to have Richo come on board. We wont know how successful this is for a while. Still curious what else is to happen. Good something has...more needed Good luck Alan, welcome to Hell

Thanks Andy....made me laugh

At the conclusion of today's game I would ask we all observe a minutes silence. In respect of the death of another Melbourne Season

Again the premise of tanking supposes we can win if we want to. Nahhhh Rest Max...yes... But he might like to play with Lewy just one last time. It's vexed... Outcome assured either way

Tic toc Tic toc Over yet ?

Nothing yet. The same fools in charge Ill wait and see what the makeup of the FD looks like. If one bozo from the box comes out with idiotic idioms professing hard tough footy..or mentions "our brand" fair dinkum id be tempted to hit someone. Hardness, toughness are givens ffs. Its not a weekend dance club out there. Brand..wtf..what is Brand. We've been shown we play footy with all the verve and style of a Cornflake packet.We play like Fruitloops meets CocoPops and run out of NutriGrain by 3/4 time. I actually want to hear NOTHING from us. I want to see some intelligent craft creeping into our game. I want to see the intuition and inherent skill of players exploited not snuffed out. I want all the nqrs on a bus to anywhere. I want ONE captain. I want NO ONE coming back til theyvare fully fit and match ready. Sounds like a heady list. It isn't. .Its basic. Its how a proper club runs a team in the comp. Its something we should try. If not...refer...no hope.

Unless said leaders are just as much part of the problem. Footy as much as any game is fought or lost between the ears. This is where we begin to lose it all.

Ts & Cs apply Please read the Product Description

Slowly. ..it eeks out.

the last first

its just like one too....we spend ages slowly climbing .....only to get all too brief a glimpse of the apex before plummeting down. We aren't ever at the top...not really

he might ask

I would imagine the AFL are issuing a please explain.."we gave you everything. ..and you still [censored] it all up !! What gives??"

Gold ? I was trying to remain quite neutral about it all. Just matter of fact choices, no gloss, no nothing The Poll looked a bit different until I 'simplified it'

4-6 OD...just 4-6

A lot has been suggested along the lines that Goody has lost the players. Others retort that's nonsense etc Something that has been commented to me by non Dees is 'you just don't look like a team on the same page" And we don't. We don;t perform well as a GROUP. Simon may still have the players as such but his lost the GROUP. A fissure in and among the team would certainly account for this. it would go some way also to explaining the frustrations exhibited by some players towards others. I don't know if the divide is straight down the middle but I've heard there are distinct camps. I had also been made aware there was not equal favour emanating from coaches to players. Imho all of this just adds up to where we find ourselves. The human condition is a funny thing. You just can't fake synchronicity. It's either there or it aint

Cause or Consequence ? There is some dissent. I've heard this too. And who'd da thunk...its a divide between some younger...and some older. Maybe coincidence we have a younger and an older captain. Working well isn't it.

It's disappointing that the more we are told of change...the more it stays the same. This is culture driven...and imho...it starts at the top and trickles down. Take a bow Melbourne ..excelling at irrelevant since 1964

Time to dust off that crystal ball
