OMR I think you should stop drinking so much on Monday nights it is bad for your healthy and causes delusions. However we are good at delusion at the MFC. They do help to get you through many winters

sadly "in for some disappointment" hardly covers it. Just re read my comment the spelling is as bad as the way we play. I need to go sit in the naughty corner. Or perhaps traded at the end of the year.

I think we should see the same moral as GWS use on chasing Scully and Sydney chasing Sylvia. The only Moral I want to hear about around the MFC is the one that wins games. The rest can go jump for mine.

I would think most of these are dead in the water. whoever the new coach is will want his own team. And this lot have not exactly covered themselves in glory.

The only reason that I can see would be cost!

We are going to have a low draft pick lets offer it. Plus Bate, Campbell, Spencer and Maric Please no more skinny choir boys.

Best one this week WJ. I needed a laugh tonight. The sad part is the Pies probably have one.

I think you are being a little hard on him. I saw the incident and King was at first trying to lay off a pass and I seem to remember Jones moving back to try to cover some extra ground. Then King realised the best option was a long bomb. Either way Jones played one of his best games all year. It was not his fault we lost. He was putting in when a lot of others were not before half time. He is not the most skilled player in the team but he never IMO does anything but give 100% every week.

No one has said it yet so I will. This is exactly what Sylvia's critic's complain about. Best on the ground this week and out for the next two games So no contibution or One good game in three. And before you all jump down my neck I am not saying get rid of him. But it is classic Sylvia.

Dee-luded I am struggling with this line "Well, here we are, at the Ending of another season, stronger. Yet unconvincing." Can you explain this comment bit more for me please

It is hard to argue with that. Perhaps we are just masochists at heart

I acknomledge Ht that you were not pridicting a great season. However I still see nothing in you writings that suggest the debacle that 2011 has turned into.

No Robbie reality set in!

I think we should be keeping CS if the price is right but otherwise what you say is correct. some posters think we are travelling wonderfully at present.

Come on HT be honest did you in your wildest dreams think it would be this bad? I believe i went into 2012 with modest expectations for the year based on a lot of what you say. but I did not think we would go seriously backwards from 2010 both on and off the field

You have my vote it was not his fault we lost. That mantle belongs to Green, davey and few others who did not run out the game.

Is no one prepared to admit he played well yesterday?

My god Redleg we are getting desperate for reasons to go!

but we are developing backwards. I have little interest now in excuses the MFC is littered with them. Whatever way you want to look at it 2011 is a major reversal from last year.

if you had a contract for $500 000 would you retire? They would have to drag me out with a jumbo jet. Lets hope he finds some form in 2012

Far from it. Just stop trying to say all is wonderful. I will give you the benefit of the doubt but it gets very difficult to discuss why we are such a poorly performed side when every player raised is ok. "Just give him time or he has only been at the club 4 years or 65 games is hardly enough to judge". I am not sure if a lot on here have noticed but we are fifth last on the ladder. In danger of loosing either or both of the last two games. We have an administration that is far from harmonous No Coach for 2012 have lost a game by 186 points this year, and have lost the last 5 games by an average of 80 points Seems to me there are a lot of problems. Please look at the problem pieces.

No 186 point losses in those year from memory and we have more 9+ goal losses this year than in either of those years. We had excuses in 2008/9 we were bottom out and re building What does it take to admit we are very ordinary!

Dazzle seems a little bright. ember!!!!

I have missed it as well. Been sulking the last 20 hours after what looks like our worst year since 2007

And have the highest loosing game margin in 20 years, be fifth last on the ladder, have lost more games by 9+ goals than in 2008 and be unable to beat Richmond. We are not covering ourselves in glory at present are we!
