5 Garland 4 J Frawley 3 N Jones 2 A Davey 1 M Jamar better effort but i refuse to be happy just cos they competed.. and i refuse to accept another 3-5 years of "be happy that theh tried cos they are young" from the coach..

haha fair enough! thats why i was putting it out there! but in ALL HONESTY.. Neeld saying he wants to keep Malthouse on his toes by giving him surprises.. thats a laugh. do you guys (and Neeld for that matter) HONESTLY believe Malthouse is worried about any players on our list having the ability to be a gamebreaker this week? we could recruit J Selwood N Naitinui and T Hawkins this week and still get done by 12 goals.. simply because alart from Howe who can tear a game apart for 20mins we have no firepower. its nice to be positive and i wish circumstances were different.. but dont hide behind a 12 goal qtr against GWS that saved embarassment.. cos 14/20 qtrs this year have been atrocious.. Malthouse probably wont even look at our teamsheet until hameday..

has anybody else noticed the bullsh1t lies that the MFC continuously feeds us? whether its injuries or excuses, it simply portrays a very weak club and im bloody over it. but its the crap they sell us about injuries tgat drives me nuts.. im sure im not the only one who noticed Watts didnt play the majority of the last quarter.. so why wait til Thursday to tell us he hurt his hammy in Brisbane? it sounds exactly the same as Bryce Gibbs' hammy strain which they confirmed on Monday. and Clarks "sprained foot"? clearly it wasnt a sptain and Clark would have known the club were lying too.. and then you have Vineys injury.. its his 2nd game and he cops a knock.. yet they selfishly play him for a few more games underdone and unfit clearly.. its all just a bit selfish and immature.. but maybe its just me..

dont always pay attention to the stats.. go watch first quarter today he laid at keast 3 tackles.. the stats only register when a play is taken to the ground..

McKenzie is a tagger? really? are u sure? Cos.i know Raines was their tagger today and gave Nate Jknes F*** all room to move.. jordie (who should change his name to yhe adult version Jordan) was constantly nowhere near anyone or the ball.. and McDonald has been rubbish all year.. but hey.. hes great iver a 3km time trial.

Mcdonald can not win a one on one as a KEY DEFENDER! and he burns his kicks EVERY TIME! so yes.. hes a liability at the moment.

the title says it all, neither offer anything useful to the team. everyone keeps arkin on about "geez we miss jordie in the team, we need him".. what for? is he tagging Pederson or Rodan? we got beaten by a team with 6 eenagers and beaten EMPHATICALLY.. very few positives.

hey guys i have noticed lately there has been a hell of alot more foot stress fracture/ligament etc injuries in the AFL... it got me thinking.. is there more to it? eg. are the boots different.to how they were 10-20 years ago.. or are the surfaces alot harsher on the plauers feet these days.. just curious if anyone knows better..

FFS.. Some of you blokes are worse than the media with this bloke.. wheres the Dan Nicholson thread.. the Tom Gollies Thread.. the Colin Garland thread.. the Colin Sylvia thread.. the Mark Jamar thread.. the Shannon Byrnes thread.. the David Rodan thread.. theres 18 other blokes whos input has been shithouse.. theres 0 other blokes who have lost a relative and been this harshly criticised.. next topic please.

Melbourne FC sucks? Hate watching the games? No reason to look forward to next year? Footy is killing you right now? Never seen a MFC Premiership? i know.. and i understand.. but i have faith. Maybe not the faith that we will win a trophy in the next 5 years, just faith that it wont be long until i love footy again. i barrack for a team called Southampton in English Premier League.. we were never a force, but were always around in the Premier League. then one day we got relegated.. the next year we went Bankrupt and into Administration and relegated AGAIN and woukd start the following season on -10 points. it was at this stage i gave up any belief of seeing my boys fly high again. but we found as a team the Will and Determinatikn to say "this isnt Southampton as it should be.. we belong in the Premier League! and we fought our way back into the Premier League and earned iur respect back from our Peers and the Media. And its given me the belief to have faith in the team i love no matter HOW BAD THINGS SEEM! Im not anyone, im a nobody, just an average guy who loves.his footy, and as much as i hate right here n now i love the fact that like Southampton we can and WILL bounce back again! its the Demons, we never do things the easy way! so just remember your favourite MFC memories.. Flower.. Jakovich.. Farmer.. whatever it may be, and just know that u will one day soon have that same excitement about footy again.. just keep strong and keep believing! thats all really..

I see Sylvia's career fizzing down to nothing more than a few flaming embers that Neeld would [censored] on to put out at seasons end.. why not give him the responsibility and say "Colin.. last chance mate.. turn yourself into a Hurn, Yarran, Scotland running back flanker or your out mate.." he just needs to get involved somehow.

im new to this forum and i will probably get shot down by some members of the keyboard army, but fcuk it,here we go.. i want Mark Neeld to stick Colin Sylvia on the half back flank this weekend v West Coast. Woosha will play Hurn on Col if he is in the forward line and after a quiet game by Shannon last week, he is gonna tear Colin a new asswhole. i say put Col on the half back flank and make him accountable, but give him the freedom to run from behind the ball and use his disposal as a focal point (aka EMULATE Shannon Hurn) in return id drop Gillies and put Rodan to use his experience on Hurn in a run with.. thats my thought..

Neil Craig was interviewed today and he mentioned the players could take alot of Culture from the Storm.. he loves the way they go.about it and came back last year afyer being written.off after 5 losses in a row.. seems like he may have had a say in it..

how shortly?
