Jaded No More

Big call I reckon Lever has it in the bag

You are the only poster in this thread that I care about Fingers crossed it gets done soon

You could tell 5 minutes in we were not going to win this game. Sometimes we come out and we look disinterested. Today was one of those days. We expected to win off minimal effort. Played like millionaires and got beaten by a side that wanted to win, and worked hard for it. Not just expected it to happen. The lack of leadership, voice and aggression at the contest was completely unacceptable. Match ups down back we’re totally off. Defensive efforts were nonexistent. Forward of the centre was a mess. Selfish, dumb, lacking intensity. It was every bad Melbourne performance of the last year rolled into one. An unacceptable effort for a side primed to win the flag. The reality is that we have a very good list. But some of our best players are coming to the end. With an even competition and no real standouts, we blew a massive opportunity last year and we could well blow it again this year if we don’t start to take the competition seriously. To not win 1-2 more flags with this list would be a complete balls up to be honest. These types of premiership windows come around so so rarely. 57 years it took us to get here. Let’s not make it another 57 years.

Wasted in the backline. Needs to play midfield.

I was willing to call the Brisbane loss a blip on the radar. Today though was just concerning. Brisbane are at least a contender, especially at home. We looked lazy. 5 mins into the game you just knew it was done. It’s inexcusable 5 games into the season when we have everything to play for!

Pathetic. Nothing else needs to be said. We have a lot of work to do to get back to the team of 2021 that was hungry and relentless. All the talent in the world means nothing if you turn up with half an effort and zero [censored] to give. We expected a win today. We were badly out coached and out worked. Lacked leadership and composure. Absolutely embarrassing.

We are miles off it. Luckily the competition this year isn’t that good.

Yep. I can’t remember having a worse month in my life and today has really just topped it off nicely.

Touched. FML this game has to [censored] end.

The lack of leadership is the worst part of this game for me. Nobody has stood up today and wanted to really change the state of play. Embarrassing.

Petty injured too. Wonderful.

How. How is Melksham getting a game.

Steven May. lol.

Viney as per usual not hitting a target

They’re playing a team that is in line for a premiership. This level of performance and attitude is inexcusable.

No Gawn and no Lever and we have 0 leadership. Embarrassing from Viney, May, Trac, Tmac and Oliver. Doing nothing.

Goodwin sitting around doing what?

Why is JVR playing defense instead of Tmac?

I’m done. This is embarrassing.

Tomlinson go away

UNCONTESTED MARKS INSIDE 50 Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

Go for goal Grundy. Wtf was that

Absolutely. If we can’t start to control the middle we won’t win this. They have way too much on us up forward.

It’s round 5. Inexcusable.

Had to give a reason for the late change. We all know it was a weather move. TMac is cactus. He cannot compete. Gives you nothing.
