Curry & Beer

a) will not happen b) if it does they will turn back to terrds next week as they always do demon16 has it pegged - token, thinly veiled facade of a 1st qtr, then back to normal

gee that is a silly bet

ok can we start life-banning people who bump threads

where did i say or infer JW is responsible for the whole team? Of course he's not! Why do people around here invent their own thoughts and attach them to other people's posts? Yes, there are about 15 others in the side that need to lift, I am not talking about THEM, at this particular moment, I happen to be talking about Watts. FCS.

Dear Jack, the patience tap has been turned off. The last of your defenders spat the dummy after you trained all summer and got 2 kicks in round 1. This is your fifth year as number one draft pick. We have all seen your gifts. No effing excuses, do something.

Really? Because I am struggling to see the difference between that paper and toilet paper.. used toilet paper.

Bold denotes a young player whom little can be expected of and/or a total spud. Italics denotes 'lucky not to be bold' B: Tom Gillies, James Frawley, Dean Terlich HB: Jack Watts, Tom McDonald, Colin Garland C: Jack Grimes, Jack Viney, Matt Jones HF: Sam Blease, James Sellar, Jeremy Howe F: Colin Sylvia, Mitch Clark, Shannon Byrnes FOLL: Mark Jamar, Jordie McKenzie, Nathan Jones I/C: Jimmy Toumpas, Jack Trengove, Daniel Nicholson, Aaron Davey No wonder we are bad, that's 16 of 22 who aren't pulling their weight

but that's exactl what everyone said early in Bailey's tenure when doubts were raised. 'Give him some time' didn't pan out there did it

well it's comforting to know that after 4 days people have calmed down enough to resume lying to themselves

it's comforting to know that after a performance that was completely cowardly, inept and lazy we have welcomed back Aaron Davey. That should fix everything Gillies is the worst player to wear red and blue in a long time and that is saying something. Pederson auto-dropped for disgracing the club. Dawes still nowhere to be seen, Rodan dropped. Byrnes hardly sighted last week. Great job on the recruiting Neeldy.

bet365 is paying $9.00 head to head this is a fringe top8 side on our home turf http://www.way2bet.com.au/sportsbet/AFL/AFL-Matches/Essendon-v-Melbourne/Head-To-Head/21653/22957/50432

hahah to think of all that lost data, all those [censored], whinges and moans lost like tears in the rain

no because FCS that makes absolutely no sense, they are almost an entirely different group of players than they were three coaches ago

the message was YRUSO5HIT? LOL :D

will not happen we will go down by 100 minimum and this time I will not be stupid enough to be there to suffer it

right up until last week I was supporting Neeld's efforts (even told him so in person), quietly optimistic of some improvement this year, and certain thathe must be given plenty of time. However, the ineptitude of Sunday was of such magnitude it leads me to conclude that the bloke has no idea what he is doing.

i would love to hear a response from Frawley... but oh no of course not, no matter how much you disgrace the jumper and anger the supporters you are not to be made publicly accountable for your efforts, after all, you are a highly paid superstar athlete and as such are above such things

there is not word i have typed on here that I would not say to any player's face if given the chance

NEWSFLASH When MFC produces crap players from high draft picks, it's not because we made a bad call it's because we have a crap culture at developing talent, and no money to develop it Honestly it blows my mind that our supporters can be so thick sometimes

Mate, how can you say that after you look at 120 minutes of football featuring recurring instances of - Not going 100% at the man or ball for what can only be fear of getting hurt - Refusing to run at 100% in order to keep your man in check and/or create an option for a teammate in possession - Apparently lying down even more once the score has gotten away from them - Showing no leadership, no talk, no enthusisam Yes, I think it is fair game for people on here to accuse the players of not trying.

There is not even the tiniest hope it will be anything good, 10-20 goal loss maybe even worse

"You're gonna need a blanket and suntan lotion, cause you're never gonna get off that beach, just like the way you never got into the NHL... you jackass! ... "

Mate in all honestly, if we play like we did in R1 every week we will not beat anybody, GC and GWS both looked far better than us out of the gate. I pledge this right now, if we suffer the humiliation of finishing last again I am through with the club once and for all.

DO SOMETHING GARY - nobody will stop you walking straight into the rooms and tearing strips off the individuals you have correctly identified as showing "lack of pressure, the decision making, the lack of intestinal fortitude ... courage if you like". Do it in front of everyone, see if next time they take the field they are haunted by being labelled a softc-ck by Gary Lyon in front of their teammates. Is anyone at all going to do anything out of the ordinary to try and fix this club or do we just go around again and again and again

I haven't gotten into twitter before, but this thread makes me want to sign up purely so I can have a few words to these blokes. Maybe we can get them so angry they actually attack the contest this weekend
