P-man

Hurley on the weekend had 27 disposals and 2 goals. If Watts did that he'd get a 2 month reprieve from any criticism.

Reading the Facebook responses to this. I think they've gotten worse. One guy is "flabberbasted", another hasn't heard of any of them, and it's all downhill after that.

Terlich? Really? Okay. No surprise with the other two.

When you look at it on paper, it's unbelievable. We have not developed one truly good player out of the first round since the 06 draft. It has to be more development related. You can't get that many wrong. You just can't.

lol

If he honestly believes that Melbourne supporters are too stupid to understand that a turnover is a bad thing, then frankly your brother can't be the shiniest penny himself. There is nothing more inane than making generalisations about entire supporter bases and their level of knowledge. But thanks for sharing his view, however useless it was. Please tell him Lindsay Thomas is a cheating ittle [censored] and North supporters are accountable by not booing him whenever he takes a dive. Or maybe they just don't understand that diving is a blight on the game. Because they are less knowledgeable on such matters.

That bridge was also crossed a long time ago. Personally I think it's time we turned on the mascot. Get the auskickers off and bring on the halftime mascot beatdown.

I'm not sure what response he was expecting by telling a supporter group who has sat through 8 years of utter [censored] that their biggest problem is they don't get angry enough..lol I've revisited the anger stage about 27 times.

Who applauds opposition goals? I'm not sure I've ever done that in my life. But saying that's our BIGGEST problem is...well..insane. No offence to your bro, but it is. Firstly, his point is completely negated by the boos that echoed around the MCG that day. Secondly, the problems have very little to do with the mentality of supporters and everything to do with what happens inside the four walls. And thirdly, he can impart his advice when his ageing side actually does something of note.

Are you saying that the house is in very real danger of coming down?

Riley is a beast. Get him back in the side. Should not have been dropped in the first place.

Saints fans must be watching Bonty with a bit of dread. Early days obviously but Billings looks half the player that he is. Guaranteed star in the making.

Possession stats? Who led the revival?

Chose drinks with mates over watching the game yesterday. The only regret is over the sore head I'm nursing today but other than that, it was nice not to have my weekend ruined by my shizen footy team for once. Sounds like it was an expected day at the office. I suppose it is a positive to win the last quarter instead of rolling over, and very glad to hear Michie played well. Will be a huge bonus if we can make a long term player out of him.

Hallelujah.

From BF. Too good not to share: "Can only imagine Roosy ripped the almightiest of bongs before team selection and selected Fitzy on the belief that he was Big Bird. Seriously at this point I'd take the aforementioned T. Tumbleweed over any of our players. At least it isn't afraid to back into packs. And how is it in 2014, I can go down to the shops and buy peanut butter tim tams and a vanilla coke slurpee, but I still look at the Dees team for the week and see "IN: ROHAN BAIL". I've tried asking Burgatron on the MFC website but all he responds with is "it's a tough one". I swear to god if someone actually chose to support this club with a clear and functional fully formed adult brain rather than from being indoctrinated from birth like I was, they'd be considered batsh!t crazy. Why do we do it to ourselves Melbourne supporters? All we ever have to look forward to is the draft and we always manage to c0¢k it up! I remember heralding Cale Morton as the next Robbie Flower on this very site six years ago now.. I actually said that I kid you not. This club has destroyed my brain and now even worse, it's destroying my enthusiasm. But hooray, Cam Pederson is back in the team. F#$%ing hell I need a cigarette. and I don't even smoke."

The current voting is 87 votes for Keep, 87 votes for Trade. Only Watts could produce a perfect 50/50 split.

Port playing like this is good for the finals if you're a neutral. They are looking dangerous, although their opposition have let them waltz around as they please. Carlton were really on the up of late. This has been a shocking night for them.

Just about the best thing ever would be winning this game and putting the final nail in their finals aspirations, giving Cox a send off he won't forget. Shhh....just let me dream for a bit.

He's the cleaning lady.

Wow. That's a brave move and it mostly counts

..you are a king among supporters and I salute you. I've done the trip a few times but this weekend will not be one of them. Feel free to out yourselves in this thread to receive the plaudits that a true supporter deserves.

Derwayne: "So they're planning not to win another game then?" What a monumental d-head that bloke is.

Douoas..lol
