Fork 'em

Most of the side can't kick to save their lives and the 3 most accurate goal kickers were sitting in the stands. Petty, Melk and Van Roo.

What a waste of top 4 finish. So annoyed. Same ol' mentally weak sheet. A whole list infected with the yips.

Don't forget we were ever so close to a monumental choke in that game as well. Make no mistake, we was staring down the slippery slope there for awhile.

Sheet. Gotta tell the missus to turn the TV down. I can hear 'em talking about Carlton in their 1st prelim for a million years yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm on another media ban for a week.

Bevo got the Dogs a flag once too.

Here I sit broken hearted, Paid my penny but only farted.

100% I actually hate watching our players celebrate goals like they've just won the game half way through the 3rd qtr and it's 6pts the difference. Max gobbing off to the opposition ruckman before he kicks the goal etc, etc. Even listening to radio before the game they were saying that all the money was for Melbourne. Only 7% or so for Carlton. Soon as I heard we were raging favourites I got that ominous sense of doom because the club can't handle expectation. I hated the pre-finals pump up propaganda video the club put out. All the talk of winning finals in Melbourne and then losing the next 4, out in straight sets 2 years in a row. Max "bullish" again this season. I could go on and on. All the clowns at work telling me for 2years we'd be out in straight sets. And we prove 'em right. Cause we're chokers. These days I struggle for the motivation to drive 700km round trip to watch the scrappy, boring, unattractive game Goodwin calls "The Melbourne way". Yes they win more than they lose but it's god awful to watch regardless of the final score.

Performances like last night. Embarrassing stuff.

Hasn't been the same since Maynard cleaned him up in the Duck/Dinner game.

I feel for the backline. All their hard work butchered at the other end.

Cause TMac was about to explode.

Chocco's certainly not doing the learn to kick footys he's trying to sell any favours. Staffords gotta go. He's had years to sort this forward line. But hasn't done anything. At all.

That's the point. To prove it wasn't. That they're not wasting a window. Which they are.

9pts up, 7mins to go and we decide to play the clock. Then scurry around like chooks with their heads off for the last 45 seconds after they sheet the bed. Anyway. This could go on all night. I'm off to bed. Disgusted. Oh .... Better drag that flag down off the front fence 1st. Hope no-one noticed it.

Truth hurts. Flash in the pan flag.

Ya know what. I hate watching us play. There .... I said it. No flair, no dare, just dour, scrappy, fumbly forken sheet. Week after forken week. I refused to watch the Swans under Roos. Aints and Dockers under Lyon. And now I'm stuck watching our BS under Goodwin. We're supposed to be good, but my god we're garbage to watch.

And then remember 1st thing when ya open yer eyes that "Yeah, that really happened .... Again." And then drag ya sorry arze outta bed and find somewhere to hide for a week.

Any-one bother with Goodwins post-game. Was there learnings?

I also think it's shocking. We've just demonstrated to any future player we make a pitch to come play for us just how you may get treated. Good luck with that.

Point proven it sounds like.

No he doesn't. Dunno about the Burgess bit but the Goodwin stuff is spot on.

Can't just blame Viney. It was a circus in there alot of the time.

They play like they're already scarred.

And I've been flying the flag out the front yard for the last 3 weeks like a fool.

I call it stupid, dumb, clown like footy.
