Beating the 16th team should see him made coach for life

Extraordinary. Our trajectory as a football club is atrocious. And still with 15 premiership players. We are on a downhill slide and there is nothing but the same old issues repeating themselves. Then the happy clappers come out and say 'Oh, it takes time to change a game plan' A new game style is barely recognisable and senior players have been the worst offenders in terms of poor performance. Fritsch played a great game on the weekend but has been terrible for the better part of 2 years. Anyone that says its not acceptable to call it out is deluded. Another measure that is terrible is to look at players that have improved (excluding 1st year players). The list is staggeringly small All these things are on the coaching panel.

And his arm was miles from the ball

He played well. Just infuriating he hasn't been doing that for the better part of 2 years. He is a great player when he plays like he did today. We just need to see more of it more regularly.

Gee the commentators went soft on him. Football act, split second BS

Fritch playing a very unselfish game good to see

Lever aaarrggh

Ump no 7 has not paid 1 kick to us and 6 to NM

Not really. I like Langford but he avoids contact

Langford is contact shy. Can't play in the middle and had a pass because it's its his 1st year but he learning bad habits avoiding contact

Anyone defending our coaches needs their heads examined. We are clueless with ball in hand and when the opposition has the ball. Our skills are deplorable and we make terrible decisions. Incapable of kicking to team mates advantage. Can't stick a tackle There is absolutely zero to hang our hat on. There is simply no phase of the game where we play acceptable football. We have a lot of overpaid players that should not be collecting a pay check North paying $5.20 at half time. Looks juicy

Corridor killing us

Seriously. Lever is cooked. So is Salem. We have brainless footballers Tracc can't kick

What a shock. Melbourne players can't kick to save their lives

Where are the Salem supporters now? He is so done

2 on 1 and they get a junk time shot on goal What TF has happened to our defence

Oh but you can't say a bad word about our coach because some nuffy will come after you

Comben took 10 fwd50 marks against us last time Let's see if we've learned anything

Only ones in consecutive years playing AND only ones playing all finals at their home ground

They cost us the Adelaide game in 2021 rd 10 when the Crow player with 35 secs on the [censored] deliberately handballed out of bounds next to the point post. Not paid. there was uproar at the time 1 point loss Umpires in Adelaide are useless.

Exactly And its been the 4th result in recent years at Adelaide affected by wrong umpiring decisions.

Ha Ha You are Simon. AKA Mr Cognitive Bias. AKA Mr Clutching at Straws How did McRae go at Collingwood? Prellim 1st year, premiers 2nd year How did Kingsley go? - finals first 2 years Even bevo made finals in his first year (as a basketcase club) and Premiers 2nd year. Fagan inherited a basket case and made finals in 3rd year - hasn't missed since. Chris Scott won a flag in his first year. Simon your time should be up.

In the last 4 years? I'm not your intern How many teams in the top 8 have the 4 years of appalling goal kicking for each of those seasons and have lost many games because of inaccurate kicking? As usual you stick your head in the sand and are an apologist for the club's failure. The buck stops with the coach but not for apparently. Thanks Simon.

I feel for JvR No fwd coach who has ever played fwd in the 4 years he has been at Melbourne No one to mentor him on forward craft Spends 30% of his on ground time in the ruck. He been in and out of the team this year and can't get any continuity. A masterclass on how to stuff a young gun's career. Well done MFC
