What issues did Barassi have?

Doubt there's many 50yr olds in his class.

He was just happy he'd be able to show his face in the classroom this week without the "What happened to Melbourne." chant.

Yes ... A little extreme. But does it really matter what some unknown on the internet posts. Everyone is allowed an opinion. Whether you agree with it or not.

Ahh ... No it's not. But that's half the problem. Seen this movie before. And it aint good.

I'd be happy if they just didn't embarrass the supporters every 2nd week.

It's complicated. I don't love the club anymore like I once did. Final straw was probably stinking up 2020 after stinking up the prelim in WA. And toxic is a fair description. They had a chance to redeem themselves after the flag but they've continued to sheet the bed and self destruct since, embarrassing the supporters with their metal weakness. Soon we'll resume to normal programming after having watched Goodwin squander the window with his ugly, tedious and uninspiring game plan. Even those brief few years when we were "Good" we were god awful to watch. I do have an "escape from the relationship" plan tho'. When we're back to sunday arvo games I'll probably leave the relationship with both the club and AFL.

I have distain for the club I love. I know how Gary feels. Felt that way even when he was captain. Had a great side and we're all over the shop back then too. Cause for some reason this club aint right in the head.

The only reason Malthouse gave Neeld a glowing reference was because he was soon to be replaced by Buckley and was doing his best to burn the joint down behind him getting rid of Buckleys future support staff. I also think knowing he was going a year prior Malthouse traded in both Luke Ball and Darren Jolly which topped up the Malthouses pies for their Premiership tilt in 2010. I doubt he would have gone all in and traded for 2 older players if he thought he'd be staying around.

A moment in time I'll ever forget was when I was behind the goals at the Jolimont end watching Mebourne V Geelong during the 80's. High fly ball into the goal square and you had Ablett, Brownless, Danny Hughes and aother Melbourne defender I can't recall coming from different directions at near full pace to converge at the drop of the ball. 4 big men , knees up, flying for the mark/spoil with reckless abandon for their personnel safety. No-one actually took the mark, no-one was injured but at the time it was something I felt like putting my hands to my face and watching through my fingers such was the impact. Awesome stuff up close and what makes ya pay ya money to go see it.

Consensus from a bunch of one-eyed alarmists.

Hmmnn .... Where have I seen this before 😕

Correct. I cannot remember a single player being knocked out and stretchered off after a hanger had been taken on them.

Letting Collingwood do what they wanted with Langdon after the "Duck/Dinner" hype of the previous week was a disgrace. Also saw Weitering standing over Pickett last year trying to intimidate him with his size after they exchanged a few words. The only fella who turned up to support Pickett was Spargo who grabbed Pickett and steered him away. Players have gotta know their teammates aren't gonna let them to get publicly mugged by their opponents. Viney will always fly the flag but though tough he's also small. And when he does, usually against a larger opponent .... He gets no back up. Not good enough as a team.

I disagree. May is hard but fair. If he was flyin' with his knees there'd be opposition dropping left right and centre.

Looks like its gonna be Gawny the one man band. Thoughts for Trac ... He'd be feelin' it right now.

Problem is our goal kicking is abhorrent more often than not.

Yep ... And though he's tough as they come he aint big or scary.

We'll go down. The 'Dynasty' is over and normal programming will now resume. Sunday arvos here we come.

And this is what bugs me the most. Essendon and Collingwood are celebrated on ANZAC day because no matter how bad either of them are going they put on a show usually. Us ... Nup, turn up our toes like the basket case we are. Oh .... And sick of all the BS coming from the club. Just STFU and play. Don't care what ya think ya gonna do. Just forken .... DO.

And that .... Is why I went fishin' instead. Still had to turn the radio off just after half time cause they were ruining my serenity. Pathetic.

Just found a clip I hadn't seen before.

Which is exactly what they want.

He would but he'd have to get his own ball.

C'mon Ooze.
