And people reading the opinion should be able to say "That's forken BS."
Binny sits here telling everyone that the sheet they're watching doesn't actually smell that bad.
Makes me think he could be some sort of MFC/AFL flunky the amount of drivel that he posts.
Cause it's nothing new.
Melbourne the basketcase has self destructed and find themselves at the bottom of the ladder again.
Situation normal.
And no-one but their small band of tortured supporters GAF.
Well the proof will be in the pudding.
I remember we were all excited when Misson came over after a couple of injury free years with the Swans and Aints.
Declared our players fitness levels were no-where near AFL level and told us he would need to work them over a several years block to get the fitness base required.
8yrs later ..........
That plenty of players out there don't have 1% of the passion that he has.
I'd love to hear what blokes like Neitz, Bruce, Green, Farmer, Robbo, Grinter , etc, etc ........ Think.
My old man works with Biffo for eg.
Still loves the Dees.
But not in the media, so don't hear from them.
It's not that this year or last year was an aberration.
The problem is that it's Standard Operating Procedure for the MFC.
Incremental improvements followed by mind bending drop offs.
Wins against solid opposition to fold against the weaker.
2 finals wins and then hardly scoring in a prelim.
Finishing 4th and dropping to 16th.
That's what drives most supporters including Lyon crazy.
He's just got a bigger forum than this to share his disgust.
And I value his opinion on football above all the happy clappers around here.
Last season wasn't that good mate.
They still butchered it flat out with stats saying we had a very poor conversion rate for inside 50s.
They got abit of belief at the right time of the year.
That's all.
West Coast exposed them in the Prelim like good sides do.
Abit rough singling out Petracca and the Weed.
We've got a side of habitual butchers with the mids the worst of them.
And they won't learn to hit targets or make good decisions during the off season.
Kent touched upon the answer up the top there.
It's not a concern about being greedy or hungry.
They're terrified to take the shot and miss.
Better to hand over the responsibility to the next bloke than expose their own poor disposal ..... Again.
