Hampson does something good: pan to Megan. She's not even that great. Yeah, I went there.

Will milk it for all it's worth. Other three quarters awful again, and not sure how many of our goals came from a free kick or a mistake from the opposition, but it's a few.

Judd has actually been very good so far this season. Dunn deserves credit for the job he's done today.

Col you ripper.

Useless. 3 kicks in three quarters of football.

Mate, wtf are you on about? 1. Your reaction is completely out of step considering the original comment. 2. We had the opportunity to promote Magner and didn't. 3. Grimes looks to be long term.

At least there was one competitive quarter. Take what you can get under Neeldy.

Bizarre post.

I'd feel much better having Magner or Couch out there instead of McKenzie.

This was one of the best things so far. It looks like the old Chippa out there. Reading the ball and using it well.

Genuinely enjoyed that second quarter. Forgotten what that feels like. Great endeavour. Jones is heroic. There's no other word.

I agree you can't fault the effort so far. It's definitely there. Chasing and tackling hard. We just seem to spend all our time defending and the skill execution and decisions are woeful. Dennis gives Neeld a roost for quoting stats we're ahead in ("alternate scoreboards") "Only one scoreboard that counts". I hear ya Dennis.

Losing my voice before quarter time.

What can you say really..

Could've and should've had it.

With all due respect that means nothing right now. VFL sides would be giving us a decent run. The point is they are still a fair way off the top sides. Their much lauded midfield went missing after halftime. By the end they had been completely outclassed. It annoys me to no end seeing the Tigers fly ahead of us, along with North, Port..well, everyone bar GWS. So damn right I enjoy seeing them get a reality check.

100% effort and we'll keep it under 10 goals. Drop off as we always do and it'll be another Neeld trainwreck.

I'd like to say that Watts not actually playing will save him from criticism this week, but I can't say that with any confidence.

As for Geelong, they are a marvel. It's almost eery to think that their next generation could keep the juggernaut rolling.

I just realised why it makes me happy. Probably something to do with the Tigers fans who attempt to provide reassurance by pointing to their own team as evidence that things can turn around. Maybe make a final first before claiming your team as a successful model.

I don't hate Richmond, but seeing them lose makes me happy for some reason...

You're a quality poster Ron, but that's just a load of garbage.

This quote still surprises me: Recruiter 2: "If I was forced to take one of Scully or Trengove, I would have taken Trengove based on his performance for Sturt in the 2009 SANFL Preliminary final against Glenelg." How can one single game have such an influence over a decision? I'm not an AFL recruiter but that seems almost negligent. Anyone can have a rare day out.

I'd go so far as to say the bulk of the article lays into us. As a general rule, if a Melbourne player isn't reaching the heights they were expected to, it's because they're at Melbourne, apparently.

lol..there was absolutely nothing wrong with how he phrased it. Don't blame the object of your smart arse ways when they backfire, C&B. Stay classy.
