@Ducky is a troll just ignore and mods will sort out when they are back @Demonland

Onfield leadership is cooked

Great mark Melksham!

Quick movement, short kicks, open forward line and put the ball to the forwards advantage. Footy looks easy when you play smart. It's not rocket science but we make it look like hard work.

Come on now, he's put Petty forward!

Goodwin is on borrowed time, things are getting worse rather than better. No improvements or shining lights whatsoever. He just has no idea what to do or how to do it.

Another 15+ goal belting coming up next week

100%. JVR has shown he is a player, we are absolutely ruining his development.

Fumbly, sloppy, indecisive, none of them seem to know what they should be doing. It is unbelievable to think this was the team to beat a couple of years ago, they look like headless chooks out there.

Yeah maybe you're right, it just seems like we are just butchering it again and again especially going inside 50. Who the hell would want to play forward in this team.

I've watched every game so far except the Blues/Eagles. All entertaining games, we are just so boring to watch.

I actually cannot fathom how poorly we are playing. The effort* (for the most part) is there but the execution, my god. *Certain players excepted, Petty being the main offender for mine. Send him to the VFL

Yeah me too, first impression was what the hell but it's grown on me, I love it now. Great game this too, Kangas looked almost gone halfway thru the 2nd now have put their foot down and lead by 8. Shades of the Crows/Cats game.

That's a bizarre delay, it's usually around 30 second delay. At the risk of sounding like I work in IT, have you tried turning it off and on again? Have you tried selecting "jump to live" when you go to the scrubber/timer?

Absolutely

What is our point of differentiation? Play at the G? So does every big Melbourne club these days. Big supporter base/crowds? Nope. Facilities? Worst in the league. Culture? Definitely not. Governance? No. Success? We had a chance to parlay the flag into creating a successful environment but couldn't due to the culture and governance issues. We need to create a point of differentiation between us and the other clubs and focus on developing it. Some we can't (MCG/large crowds) but some we can (creating a strong successful culture with good governance). Until then why would any potential recruit choose us over anither club?

Of course it would

JVR Sparrow Spargo Rivers Turner Petty all stagnated, haven't improved much on their natural talent shown on debut. Woewodin Howes and Laurie also but admittedly they just may not be up to it

Sell my Anzac Eve and Kings Bday tickets

He is, he was one of our best last week.

Nah, if there wasn't the media circus around Trac last year (admittedly of his own making) no-one would think twice about him showing his frustration. He wears his heart on his sleeve, always has.

Hope so

I hated Lloyd as a player but as a commentator he's one I actually listen to.

I cannot see him lasting to the bye if we are 0-7 in a few weeks.

They also won three flags in a row before a pair of straight sets exits.
