Jaded No More

No idea what Melksham brings to this team currently.

Another game where we dominate for periods. Misuse the ball horribly and let the opposition run off our mistakes and score.

So tired of watching this.

Absolute [censored] rubbish. Gawn’s kick. What a disgrace. And a goal.

Wtf was that from Fritsch? God almighty

To dominate a quarter and only be up 2 goals is so disappointing.

Weids is a confidence player. Needs a few more of those marks and goals to get going.

90 entries for Melbourne 2 shots on goal 1 entry for Gold Coast 1 shot on goal

Anyone who trash talks Oscar can now see why he should have always been playing ahead of Smith

Petracca having a mare

Salo up the ground is SO much better

Not hard against GC

We are always one on four or five. Horrible lack of accountability.

The minute we turn it over they are all over us like a fat kid on cake. Everyone has worked out how to play us. Pressure. Force the turnover (or do nothing and watch us fluff a kick). Run hard the other way. Score.

Yep. Doesn’t look good. Maybe a scratch to the cornea? God that would hurt so much ? Well we are still a stupid team with no skills.

Rubbish rubbish rubbish

Every turnover turns to a goal for them and they are kicking each one of them out their butthole

For the love of god the tackling in the back line is rubbish.

Unbelievable this team.

Yep his ball use has been trash and a major disappointment. Because other than his ball use, I’ve loved his run and spread and his speed on the wing. But he lets himself down with execution and decision making time and time again. Melksham needs a big game today if he wants to retain his spot. When he plays well we play well forward of the Centre so fingers crossed he can pull a finger out today.

There is no comparison. King will be a star for the next 10 years. May was what we needed at the time.

While Max Gawn is in this prime, there is literally no point trying to attract another established ruck. They will battle it out at Casey for most of the year, getting an odd game here and there if Max is injured. We have Jackson in the wings, and he should be hitting his prime when Gawn retires. No point spending decent coin on a backup player, and certainly no point getting rid of Preuss only to get a slightly upgraded version that will service the same need. We need to chase a tall forward in this year's trade period or through free agency. No idea who may be available, and given our rubbish draft position we are unlikely to have any cards to play at the table.

I hate you. But also enjoy for all of us Melbournians currently back home in PJs and on high dosages of booze!

I know you’ve been barracking for this club for a long time. We’ve both been through some truly horrific individual displays from players. Smith has been putrid down back, but he doesn’t come close to some of the truly horrific displays of footy we’ve seen from the likes of Newton, Morton, Gisberts, That ginger kid whose name escapes me, Heffernan, Moorcroft and the list goes on and on and on. The bad days of Nicholson pre-beard, Holland, Carroll pre-jail. Ah memories.

It might mean Gus has to play more game time which I’m happy with. And I think there’s a golden opportunity to rest AVB forward.
