monoccular

Listened for a bit over a quarter, haven't and won't watch. Two I 50s in the first quarter ! Seriously, how can the club expect even longstanding supporters to turn up and watch that rubbish ? My overwhelming emotion is just plain sadness.

Surely you wouldn't be suggesting that there is "tanking" going on in the AFL,particularly not in the AFL's own team? But...that would be bad for the "integrity of the game" and wouldn't be allowed by DimWitriou, surely. LOL

I guess that explains why he had such a good game vs Geelong ! NOT !

TWO inside 50s in Melbourne's first quarter today !!!!! ;-((((((( Just how could a forward line even made up of Carey, Lockett and TGNWS kick a winning score with that garbage stat? Did any of our Casey mids do anything worthwhile today?

I have to agree with the poster above who says that we must insist that we, and our opponent, play our Darwin game immediately before our bye. Not an excuse for today, but maybe a contributing reason for the magnitude of the capitulation, especially in the final quarter.

O'Grady say "hi" too.

Oh.......woe is me. Sack the coach. Hogan must be an absolute spud not to have a bag of 5 by now. (Just thought some may like a bit of typical Demonlander doom and gloom speak).

Maybe - my one word thought was "sad".

Trouble being that he needs to get the pill enough to be able to display his "elite disposal" to advantage.

Every year we hear that <insert recruit's name> "will be a real gun"! It was said of Morton, Taggart, Strauss, Bennell, Blease, Bail, Couch. Does this occur on other team's blogsites, or is it a peculiarity of ours?

IF Davis cannot crack a game with this list surely they can have no intention of playing or retaining him at all.

I read that Vlad was given a confidential briefing by ASADA - confidential. Now IF he told any club about that in advance then that is "improper conduct" at best. And never forget that it is Vlad who has always been going on about "the integrity of the game"! Hypocritical??

Neale does appear to have the respect of the playing group, who will then put in that little extra for him. I agree that he would seem to be, should he want the job, way ahead of the likes of Laidley.

I agree with you opinion; it is way too premature to judge what one player does in a good (top 8) midfield with another in a bottom 2 midfield. Just unfair to compare. Were the boot on the other foot Wines may be deemed the "under-performer", unfairly.

Her hypocrisy has descended to a new nadir, and her "professionalism" never existed.

Not sure that we have had any Collingwood people on our board. Are you referring to Chris Dawes, the last Collingwood person on board? Or maybe you are referring to an ex-coach??

Not sure that is was "don't want Hawthorn people" rather "don't want a certain Hawthorn person as President"

Pretty uninspiring IMO. Craig would seem to be a better choice: seems to have the players on board.

In medical matters, nor indeed in any human endeavor, one should never say never, and never say always!! No two injuries are "the same" eg Egan vs Clark's Lisfranc or Brown and Strauss' lower leg fractures. And no two orthopedic surgeons are the same.

Couldn't agree more The kid had a shocker - who hasn't?

I guess were you kicking on the windy cliffs at Flinders, it may well go into the strait, Bass Strait in fact, but probably not straight.

If the AFL, as the principal footy organisation in Australia, [censored] foot around this they will lose support in a big way - governments, sponsors, and the general public. Essendrug and their coach "The Golden Boy" made a very poor choice in trying to gain advantage by at best questionable (at worst totally illegal) means and must be held to account. Stripping of all premiership points for two years would seem a minimum if players are to be spared personal suspension. The NRL have imposed similar penalties for far less. It would be interesting were this to be imposed what could happen to free agency and the trading season wrt Bomber players. PS: Moderators - [censored] foot is a quite legitimate expression. It refers to the bit on the end of a cat's leg, with the claws on it. Why is it censored? Looks a bit overzealous PC stuff to me.

The whole structure may well change with the interchange cap. Will we for a change be the trailblazer? Fitzy as a dual tall / crumbing forward ?? :-)

I thought that you were implying that they were all in for surgery :-)

Maybe a case of being "just a bit too clever", like the dribbled kicks one sometimes sees when a player is running into an open goal.
