I"m seriously starting to think Roos. I can't believe I'm saying that.

Nope, I won't cop that. This is HIS team with a couple of pre-seasons under the belt and time to instill SOME SEMBLANCE of understanding of a gameplan. Hinkley has come in with a younger, more inexperienced side and bent Neeld over tactically, all in his first game as a senior coach, away from home.

I've been in that school of thought all along but I watched a team today that had unquestionably gone backwards in its application, fitness and overall development. I can only judge on what I saw. If this is considered knee jerk then so be it, but we faced a young and inexperienced side with a first year coach and got completely annihilated. The buck has to stop with the coach to a large degree. It has to.

He gets defended vehemently on here but surely even his biggest supporters must of had their belief shaken to the core today. I've never felt that way watching Melbourne play. Not even 186 felt like this. To call it an abysmal Round 1 performance is being kind. Tell me why I should hold onto my belief in this bloke. There's been alot of hot air, great sounding hot air at that, but NOTHING to back it up. Not a sausage. Can the club survive another 2012? Seriously?

I take no pride in saying I predicted this. Saw it coming a mile away based on pre-season and other factors. I held out hope for a competitive effort but it fell well short of even that.

We look a worse side now in pretty much every aspect. Fitter my arse.

Wonder what the school teacher has to say about this one. I reckon inexperience and youth will get a run. Pathetic.

I feel the same way. Today is my tipping point. I won't walk but I hold no blame against anyone who does because this is enough.

LOL

I'll get howled down for this, but give me back the Bailey years. When the odd game was not just watchable, but very watchable. Footy just isn't fun anymore.

Easily. EASILY.

It's honestly not even fair to Viney, Toumpas and Hogan to be joining us. They have raw talent which will almost inevitably be quashed. I've never felt hatred towards this club but right now that's the emotion. Completely amazed and disgusted with this.

Who could this rabble beat? GWS is a maybe. Other than that, no chance against anyone.

You could see this result coming a mile away. It's nothing but talk coming out of this club.

How appropriate that you have the first reply NSC. The club is cursed. No club can be this woeful for this long.

Can't even watch this garbage anymore, just listening to the commentary now and am hearing nothing but Port players being called.

I'm watching a team that's gone backwards. Right or wrong, that's what I'm seeing. Complete and utter [censored].

Pedo you ripper!

Viney embarassing every player.

Could be over by halftime if this keeps up.

Poor skill execution I expect but laziness? Still?

Howe is absolute poetry in the air.

Haha, thanks mate, it was more a request to the team.

Can we not play Nicho again ffs.

Sellar oh my god.
