Wow what a scoreline. Im in shock. Brisbane are flying. Wonder if they can sustain it. But yes straight kicking is very important. The dogs fans would be sitting there going nuts at the behinds.

congrats to Bob Murphy on his 300th game. Amazing how he is the 7th bulldog to play 300 games and we still only have 1.

In all fairness it's Ports home game so they have been given the fixture. Tomorrow night on 7 is Freo v nth. Another great game. But what has happened to the Toump? He must have some talent or is he another Cale Morton #4 pick that shouldn't have been. Or because he was at our club during a horrible period did we drag any confidence out of him and just made it a bad time for him.

I wonder how Chip and Howe are feeling. Frawley has a flag so wouldn't bother as much but I wonder if they are thinking how am I back to this position down near the bottom not winning. This wasnt meant to happen when we left melbourne

I noticed yesterday that the coaches box doesnt have a sponsor on the front of it either. Surely someone out there wants to take a gamble on us. Hey if you sponsor us we will certainly give you an interesting ride. It would just be nice for somoene to sponsor us. anyway surely it's the role of the President along with others to try and do this. Is Glen Bartlett actually doing anything?

Just watched the last 2 minutes. I can see why Bernie just bombed it in like that. I guess he was hoping somoene would mark it or crumb it. But also the Viney handball from the centre bounce when he was on his back he hand balled it freo's way which in the end cretaed the goal. also when Harmes ran in if he looked over to his right he had Salem I think it was out on his own who he could have passed to. We need to practice scenarios on what to do in close games when we have the lead.

Hey good news people we are back in 8th and essenscum have dropped to 10th.

Looks like the suns have kicked away from Carlton. They will be on the same wins as us to.

Hope people said to him we could have used you these past 2 weeks. Would want to have a good one next week. Oh and another thing when we did hit the front why didn't we just kick it down the line to at least get the ball out, instead of the ridiculous chip kicks in our back line.

Wow the crows have kicked our goals total and it's only half time. Geez Walker and Betts are quickly becoming a star duo. They have kicked 5 each. amazing when a team can kick straight also. Watching them play and how they play just shows how far we are behind certain teams.

Wow good start by Tex 4 goals and it's only the 1st quarter. 9 goals in the first term. They are a scary team Adelaide. Would make a day a bit happier if they smash the bummers. Geez what a difference it makes having a key forward up there to kick to.

It was just so disappointing and I hate to say it but typical of Melbourne. They got to comfortable at half time and others pointed out that at 1/2 time that again a team managed to find a goal on the siren. 3rd quarter being there watching it, it seemed we thought we have got this and just stopped. The bad thing was there was no leadership to stem the onslaught. Plus I didn't see many moves happening. There were plenty of times today when we had no forward line. The midfield would look up to find no one there. Weiderman yes I know he got injured but it was like he had no confidence today or knew what to do. Plus he butchered that shot at goal in the final term. Im sorry but I thought Smith showed a lot more than Weids last week. But if we had a so called player up there as a target then that would have helped. Hope he enjoyed his 2 weeks rest. We also missed easy goals and I still have no idea how Kent stuffed up that handball to Watts in the goal square who kicked it when the ball was already over the line and also Viney missing when he got that 100 metre penalty. Also looking at that final McCarthy goal, Frost spoiled the ball and hit it backwards which set it up for Cam. We should easily be 4-0. Next 4 games are Richmond, bombers hawks crows. That will tell us where we are at. Just very disappointed. Oh and a message for the players. If you see Watts in the forward line, particularly the goal square and especially if he is one out, KICK IT TO HIM. He will mark it and kick the goal. Each time he goals for goal I never worry. He is a beautiful kick. a number of times lately he has led and hasn't been passed the ball.

Weids get off

Amazing what happens when u kick the ball into the 50 quickly

3 behinds, pathetic. We have Richmond essendon Adelaide & hawthorn the next 4 wks. This is a must win. I can't see it happening.

Got ahead of ourselves. No leadership and no structure.

Bloody hell. Wake up Melbourne

How did kent and watts stuff that up. Poor handpass.

Hey just looking at the coaches box we don't have a sponsor for that either. The front is blank. Weids also back on

Tyson is only going at 40 per cent by foot.

Weideman copped a corkie, spent a lot of that quarter on the bike. Apparently roos is here with his wife watching on. Nice to see. Hopefully a massive 2nd half.

This is what we want to see. Geez trac has magnificent hands.weids hampered by a corkie

Viney had to kick that.

Its going to be a long 12 weeks without max

Geez not pretty to watch here at the game. Hope we can straighten up. Weids needs to give us something.
