Fork 'em

Who cares what Collingwood supporters think.
They're the absolute bottom of the barrel when it comes to supporter bases.

We definitely don’t look as hungry or as intense as last year .

For those that say we are just cruising through and will explode in the second half of the year, I really hope so, because the current mindset is not that of a premiership team.

Nope.
Last 3 games we've simply rolled over when challenged.

After 3 losses to top 8 clubs (in a row) is it too simplistic to be saying... "No May, No Melbourne"?

Yes.

Ah yes, moving our worst decision maker into a position where we're currently making terrible decisions, replacing our best decision maker... That will help!

Would help if the best decision maker could get a kick.

 The other issue is that, possibly because of training loads, it’s currently 95% of the way we move the ball forward. It’s way too predictable - meaning it’s easy for defenders to drop off and kill us in the air.

Going forward we're doing exactly what we love the opposition to do.
Move the ball slowly and kick long bombs to a pack into the forward 50.
 
Reckon with all the focus on defence we've lost our attacking flair.
 Always safety 1st.

Our small forwards are so defensive they've forgotten they're actually forwards.

I can handle losing.  But how could we we let a spud like Cox look great.  Plays a great game every 4 years. 

I've seen him play 3 good games.
2 of them against us on QB.

As many have mentioned earlier, we’ve been flat for 5-6 weeks. I’m not sure about this training load theory. From memory that happened after the bye last year and not before it.

 

Yep.
What will they say when we really are loading.

 The last 6 odd weeks has been jam it forward and hope for the best,  So many times we have options but completely ignore them.

Nah, we've done this for years.
A couple of times I thought they may have rectified the problem.
But I was mistaken.

 

 
I blame the cheer squad.

Here we go.
Crunch time.
We gonna answer the question.
Or roll over.

And roll over it is.

Nice goal under pressure Jacko.

Here we go.
Crunch time.
We gonna answer the question.
Or roll over.

 Gawn and Pettys gone.
Gonna be real tough from here.

Similar feel to last 2 games.
Far to stagnant going forward.
And kick straight when we've got control.

Their skills are good.
Picking their way through our zone nicely.
Similar to last years game.

Wouldn’t say it’s nervs, but rather that pumped / excitement feeling that, to be honest, has been missing for a while.

Big game vibes today & I can’t wait!

🔴🔵

Yep.
The spidey senses are tingling.


 

1st game I've been nervous since the GF.

And make an example of these fools.

You reckon Richo would have said the same about the Tigers, Luke Hodge would have said the same about Hawthorn or Ling about Geelong etc? They’re all in the same job.

He could easily have manoeuvred around  it. “I think Max handled it well” or “I’m sure Steven regrets it”.

He sooks about his sadness again because it’ll get his face in the papers, not because he feels compelled to answer every question honestly behind the mic. 

Poor ol' Jonesy.
Should count himself lucky.
Got 2yrs closer to a flag than he should've.

Richmond game attendance for Carro to ignore.

I got sent a screenshot of a text that contains some ridiculous claims that suggests the May/Melksham incident is just the tip of the iceburg. Choosing not to post it because it seems like unsubstantiated BS to me, and I don't want to get banned!

Yeah I've seen that.
What a load of sheet.

We Melbourne supporters are an introverted bunch.
Have suffered much embarrassment over the years.
Probably lost a generation or 2 of young supporters in the carnage.
Supporters who would be young adults at games making noise .... But we aint got 'em.
Petracca would be right about our age demographic, that we're an older supporter base.

Certainly not ideal preparation for QB.

 Now that we've won it, I think there are parts of our core supporter base who have lost the desperation and passion that the 57 year drought brought to all of us. A bit of "oh well, so what if we lose it this year, we won it last year!".

Yep ... Might watch it again now to cheer me up.

That can't be right.
Pretty sure we've won it already..
