Suggest you read my post first then go and look at the drafting history. Had we drafted correctly in 08 and 09 we should have been ready to rise up the ladder in 2010, 2011. Simple facts are we butchered it.

Youre wrong on this. We bottomed out before GWS and GC came into the comp. Thats when we got Scully and Trengove. Its why we were accused of tanking. We bottomed out at the right time. We just never chose correctly nor managed to get off the bottom.

Not at the moment OD. Thats true. But I want some sports passion in my life. I was thrilled when Daniel Ricciardo came 2nd in the Melb grand prix. I was thrilled when Adam Scott won the masters. I was thrilled when my kids won their GFs. The MFC have given me nothing but hurt and heartache of the 8th yr in a row.The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result. I don't think I can do it any more. I can stop the pain by not following the Dees. Life would be better. -
Gee thats novel. These muppets have been playing footy for the better part of 15yrs and they don't know this already?? Not having a go at you SONS but its so freaking obvious it makes my skin crawl.

Roos knows what the problem is. He is smart. Whether he can fix it is another question. In practical terms you can throw the team around like he did today until you find players who want to play with every ounce of energy and passion. The problem we have is that most of the players with energy and passion can't play: Nicho, Grimes, Bail, Byrnes, Spencer, McDonald, Trengove, Evans, McKenzie, Tapscott, Terlich and Jetta. Others with passion who can't get on the park are: Clark, Dawes, Hogan (from what we have seen) and Garland Those without passion: Watts, Frawley. We don't have a lot of options. And that is scary.

Bad argument. James Magner.

Einstein. The leading tackler in the AFL. You would throw him back to casey.

Yeah but we may not have a club any more if we the people desert it. -
Georgiou is number 7 in disposal efficiency for the club this year averaging 80%. If everyone could hit targets like him we'd be a lot better off.

Because every time he had the ball he was under more pressure at Melbourne.

Cheney is an an average footballer. We made the right call. What some here seem to miss is that not every player in a good team is a champion. The fill a role. Its the leadership and the elite players that usually determine ow a team plays. Players that we have been lacking for 7 yrs. Port is a good example. Good mids and leadership. A lot of average players that play roles. But they also play with heart because the leadership demand it. A lot of Melbourne players make it at other clubs (a lot don't also !) FFS even Bennell gets a game at West Coke. That's why possibly losing Mitch CLark is gonna hurt us incredibly. A fit MClark is an elite competitor and talent. He lifts other players, gives them confidence and demands better performances. We need 4 pr 5 players minimum like that..sadly...
-
Get over the remuneration. Its irrelevant largely. We have to pay it to someone. Had Clark strung more games together he would the best value player on our list.

Its not just you. Incredibly boring to watch. Rather watch basketball. Ouch.

You seem very happy about it from the number of posts you have made about it. What a [censored].

If you are referring to Nathan Jones you are seriously misguided and could not have watched the first 2 games of the year. -
