This annoys me too. What happened to the old, "if you don't want to know the scores in game x then look away now".

It's got to be Schwab or McLardy gone. Can't be Neeld. If it's just McLardy spruiking again then I'll puke.

Schwab gone?

Forget the 90 mins before the game no hoo hah rubbish. The players looked like how I used to look in Economics lectures. Disinterested and bored. By the way I flunked Economics. No wonder we didn't get close to winning or even losing with grace.

If their losses had been big ones to GWS and Melbourne then yes. Hopefully Malthouse turns out to be another false prophet like Dennis Pagan.

Hopefully you will be able to return the favour if his team is stripped of all their premiership points and their captain is stripped of his Brownlow.

That's what I'm talking about too and as a lifelong supporter and member I find that abhorent and worse than any poor administration or coaching. It's the players being completely selfish and putting themselves above the club, above us as supporters. I could understand if they were rebelling to oppose poor working conditions or because they were being paid below minimum wage and working in a sweatshop with no dental plan but FFS need I go on.

Intentionally lose or not play at their best just to spite the CEO/The Admin/Board/Coach? I keep hearing this as a possibility to explain the poor performances and if true then this is even worse than tanking and is completely guttering for supporters who bleed for the club. Say it aint so!

That's depressing. What does this article about Port Adealiade's Coach calling Port's Clearances awful make us look like: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-04-06/ken-hinkley-postmatch?utm_medium=RSS

I agree. I do however think that members should be refunded out of the salaries of the players.

It's not a combination of all of the above it is all of the above.

Having seen the address and seen how the players played I now know why our players play like they do. That speech was so uninspiring no player would put their nuts on the line for him. I've said it before and I'll say it again a chronic insomniac would have fallen asleep and the players looked like they weren't far behind. Total rubbish. When he finished you could hear a pin drop and there was no "c'mon boys" or "insert firing up cheers from the player here" shouts from the guys. [censored] weak. No wonder we play like a bunch of pansies.

BEST. POST. EVER.

That was perhaps the most uninspiring piece of drivel I have ever seen and has definitely sealed Neeld's fate as a coach at AFL level. He can't inspire the players. Goodbye.

As I said in the game day thread based on his pre-game rev up he would put a chronic insomniac to sleep. One of the most uninspiring guys I have ever seen.

Ha!The coach? Based on his pre-match rev up he would put a chronic insomniac to sleep. He is a joke and can pack his bags and [censored] off back to ocean grove. Most of the players can [censored] off with him too.

We are a basket case from the players to the admin to our supporters. We are the joke of the AFL and the clock is ticking on the MFC.

No offence to young Jimmy. I sure he is a lovely bloke and will be a good footballer. However I think we made a grave error in not drafting Ollie Wines. He had a ripper game. Can take a great overhead mark too. I know it's early days but Wines is ready to go now.

The way we played today Blind Freddy could beat us.

Agree or dare to defend mediocrity. Neeld better keep his bags pack because his cab will be here soon.

Obviously we don't want to show our hand for Round 1.

There is no way we will take this thing to court. If we have negotiated this "reported" outcome then we will not be taking anything to court. We would have taken it on the chin like we always do. Sit Demon Sit ... Good Dog.

The thing that concerns me about Caro's appearance on AW is her "sources inside Melbourne". Can we please plug these leaks and get rid of those "supporters" who would prefer to settle their vendettas at the expense of their club.

Think about that statement for a second. If I murder someone and go to jail it is going to affect my family (or my place of work using your example) but its got nothing to do with them. If Dean Bailey instructed the team to tank and there is evidence then he will be banned from coaching. It does not matter where he is coaching now. It's just bad luck to Port that they hired someone who had a "hidden past" that has "caught up with him." PS I don't believe DB is guilty I was just illustrating a point.

Does anyone know if Dean Bailey has received anything (ie: a please explain letter) or has just the MFC who have received it? If not are the MFC supposed to respond on his part or non part in this?
