Fork 'em

If we hadn't have tanked. I woulda been pizzed.

Considering both Schwab and Connolly (not to mention Jimmy Stynes) are great mates of Lyons from the MFC boys club I find his reaction annoying. As if he didn't know what they were up to. 1st hand no less. But we all know about Garrys character. https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/horrible-demons-greats-react-to-fresh-report-on-melbourne-tanking-saga/news-story/93a084ab43922919802e4dc9f60de6e3

And I remember only a couple years ago Slobbo suggesting himself that it would be unwise for the Lions to win another game. The hypocrisy is astounding.

I care about biased journalism. Fake news from the Essendon fanboy.

You reckon Hawthorn and Collingwood think their flags are tainted?

Their bias just has no bounds does it. Not to mention the odd upshorts pic.

So the clown who ticked off Slobbos 10yr old article for todays front page is also a Essendon supporter. Surprise, surprise. Of course they ignored their drugcheat clubs cover-up. Slobbo even thinks his needle wielding mate Hird should coach them again. FMD, what a joke.

Yes.

Hawthorn got Hodge, Lewis, Franklin and Roughhead. Collingwood picked up Pendlebury and Dale Thomas in '05 after playing off with the lions in '02 and '03 GF. Carlton won both the Gibbs and Kruezer cups. West Coast played in the' 05 and won the '06 GFs only to pick up Nic Nat at pick#2 in '08. And we were the ones who got lynched by the media. Now during the week Slobbo throws out his good mate drug cheat Hirds name again as a "potential" replacement for Worsfold. And then has the gall to drag up our tanking labelling it Footys Biggest Cover-up on the front page the very day we meet his precious drug cheating footy club. What a Forking joke of a biased journalist.

Even in those 2 finals we won we butchered it going forward with little composure. We had a good 1st and last qr against Geelong. We made a mess of the 2nd and 3rd when we should have put them away. Hawthorn game was similar and then West Coast put our 1 dimensional game plan to the sword when they knew every ball was gonna go in high and long.

Whereas I think Goodwin knows we have no-one in the midfield who can really deliver to forwards at an elite level so has just gone with the bomb it in there as often as you can and hope for the best mentality.

I too am sick of all the talk. Have been listening to the BS for decades. Have to redeem ourselves every second week etc. As for Goodys coaching. We've butchered the ball going into the forward 50 with his famed "Chaos ball" since he's been in charge. Lets just bang it in there and hope we can scrub enough through the goals seems to be the mantra. Game plan is garbage. Even worse now with the 666. Coaches have been caught with their pants down.

Squeaky wheels get the oil. Eddie knows this well too.

Lets face it. He's a big boy and should be able to look after himself.

I'm sure they had their moments. Just never used them as excuses.

Short pre-seasons never bothered the Dawks or Cats when they were swapping flags.

The 666 rule certainly hasn't helped. Which is perfect timing for us as usual. And we've been butchers going into the forward 50 for a hell of alot longer than 12mths. No goals come easy, its all a rugby scum till someone manages to scrub one through.

Yep. even when we've been decent, we've been a mental basketcase. How 'bout 2001, when we went from Grand Finalists to 11th.

The druggies will think they're a huge chance with us. They always do.

Not so comfy for me. More like having stones in my boots. And having the corkheads into me at work 2nd round in is great fun.

Ah yes, the "Veil of Negativity." Know it well.

This ^^ Doesn't have the drive to get away from mummas lasagne and get himself properly fit. I'm thinking we trade while some club thinks they can turn him around.

In another couple rounds when we get ourselves sorted apparently.

Yet we still bomb it into the forward line like morons.
