    Oh make it end. What is Sylvia, what was Grimes doing? We should be down by 15 goals.

    Scarlett trying to work out if there's a pulse in the witches hat he's playing on.

    Moloney got a virus again? Sylvia a first-year or eight-year player? Praise the lord for big Mitch.

    I've known Jack's mum since childhood. You're right, he's in for a world of pain.
  5. Ned
    I totally agree. This game isn't about winning or losing. It's about restoring some respect to the Melbourne jumper.
  6. Ned
    Great post. I agree, the more you watch it the better it looks. Tapscott has great effort and he also has a decent kick on him, something that's useful in our team.

    Clark and Chip back and I'd like to see Blease and Bennell based on Casey game reports. Not sure who should go out though. Good effort last night and I'm loathe to change much in a tram that had a real go.

    Full respect to the Swans. Super performance. I've got enormous time for that team.
  9. Ned
    Yep, good game. His last kick out deep in the fourth quarter had real intent, tried to take the game on. Liked it and hope it becomes the norm. I don't fear skilled stadium next week. We'll lose, but if we play like tonight, there'll be no humiliation.

    Nate Jones is going to be our Lenny Hayes. Morton had a go. Embarrassed when he slapped the hands of a Saint at a stoppage. Tonight's performance have grounds for hope.

    That's what I said. We had been attacking, now we're learning defense. Adelaide the other way round and it's easier for them as a result. You need to read what people write.
  12. Ned
    Adelaide moved to a more attacking game from a strong defensive one. We have no defensive game. We were front-runners. Chalk and cheese in other words.

    In the cold light of day and reading these posts, perhaps it wasn't such a disaster. I guess the source of my frustration is I believe we should've won and I know how much confidence that would've instilled in the group and, more than anything, been a fitting send off for Jimmy.

    You keep those tinted glasses on chief. Trengove look like he's thriving to you? Melbourne look like the toughest team to play? One minute the tough as nails press conference the next finding positives in 10-goal shellackings to Richmond? What top team outside Collingwood in 2010 is playing the boundary-contest game? And Collingwood of course abandoned it. I'm all for reasonable expectations. I don't see the dogs as a good team. They're rubbish. We had everything to play for and came up well short. Revel in the 29-point loss Ron.

    Yeah I'd go Hurley too, another player who loves the contest. Sorry, Watts often looks like a more accomplished Morton. Not always, sometimes he has a real go. But it doesn't seem to be a natural instinct.
  16. Ned
    He is, I agree.
  17. Ned
    Someone was saying last night he's better than NicNat. I laughed. NicNat has something that elevates him miles above Watts: appetite for the contest. Watts's miss from dead in from was bad, the dropped mark was pathetic, Morton-like. Symptomatic of the team.

    Neeld said at his post-game presser that Dunn was good in the second-half. I mean seriously, does he take supporters for morons?
  19. Ned
    I used to have it with Davey off half-back and Frawley. But yeah, take your point, none. Neeld's sent them into their shell. They're petrified of stuffing up and so stuff up.
  20. Ned
    Neeld's decision, together with the dreary kicks along the boundary line. Trengove is 20 or so. No way he should be burdened with the responsibility. The coach is a loose cannon. All mouth and drama and surprised when it blows up. People can talk cattle all they want. Melbourne of 2011 would've beaten that Doggies outfit, that's how bad the dogs are. We also had the emotional drive. To lose that is shattering. To look at the rounds ahead is depressing.

    Our version of tonight's game will be against GWS.
  22. Ned
    I watch Darling and weep. Such a tough and competitive bugger and a really good footballer. Exactly the sort of player we need.
  23. Ned
    I think the Saints have more to weep over in the 2001 draft. Missing Judd and Bartel could drive anyone to drink!
  24. Ned
    I agree. I feel really confident now with the ball in Watts's hands. I also think Leigh Brown is a good mentor - a man with absolute mongrel who tries to get the best out of himself. Watts's improvement is one of tyhe few pleasures of watching the Dees.

    Melbourne are bloody shocking. When James Hird came to Essendon they underwent dramatic change over a pre-season. It wasn't too much for them to ingest a new game plan. What gets up my nose about Neeld is all the chest-beating and bravado. If he understood we were in major trouble you start trying to manage expectations. It looks to me as though he had no idea that was the case until we were pounded on the field. I wish the guy well. But I'm a bit concerned about his judgement.
