Jaded No More

Excellent news. Very very happy for him. Low investment for potentially high reward. Trenner is still a good player, the question over his pace is one that we can't answer without giving him more time.

We would have easily cracked 45,000 if we made finals this year. I reckon 42,000 next year if we get off to a good start.

It is an absolute joke if Hunt doesn't get the nomination after this week. Reckon he could finish top 5 in the voting if he does. I know this whole thing is a bit of a joke that nobody cares about, but Hunt deserves a nomination as reward for hard effort. Coming from a long way off with injuries, making his debut this season and absolutely changing the way we play thanks to his dash. How Harmes could get a nomination but Hunt couldn't by now is definitely wrong.

Not surprised Kent looks unlikely to play.

Just drove past training and Kent is running laps. Might be an out?

I would love to stay a Melbourne supporter. Putting Brent Harvey in a Melbourne jumper would be totally detrimental to that. Petty but true.

4 less players to rip us a new one. Can't say I have any love for Harvey, but surely the guy has earnt the right to call time on his own career. I hate North Melbourne more than any other club, so to see them stuff up this badly, is both amusing and heartening. Can't wait until we can finally beat those pricks!

Kid has been amazing and deserves a nomination for consistency alone. Watched Mills closely on Saturday as I barracked for the Swans. He is a gun. So composed and such a great user of the footy. Gotta love those academies gifting clubs top players for nothing.

People forget that many of our losses to St Kilda are due to playing at Etihad. Not all but certainly recently. We don't play Etihad well. Luckily very few finals are played there. But it's obviously something we need to address.

While also being a great front man and media personality who could cop with the heat and pressure of big losses and disappointing results? Imagine if any other coach came in post Roos and had a 4 win season... Everyone would want him sacked. Roos steadied the ship on and off the field and built a culture and a list capable of going somewhere other than wooden spoon land. He isn't the best match day coach but he is the man we had to have!

This absolute deadsh!t I work with has been telling me all week how bad Melbourne is and how Carlton will win (a big headed Carlton fan obviously). Boy did I cop it again this morning. Reminded him to look at how his team has gone this year and maybe tone down the cockiness. Also had to remind the absolute loser sitting behind us yesterday of that. When the siren went I said to him well done, enjoy celebrating your final birth... Oh hang on, you're a bottom 4 team.

I pretty much stopped giving a crap and spent the second half brainwashing my little cousin so that Hunt is now his favourite player. Even more than Cyril. In between all that I gathered that Jetta is our most consistent performer every week and if we had more of him we'd be a better team. 6 points then daylight to Tmac.

To clarify you are right. I meant we had two fast players out and two plodders in

I still don't know why we dropped Harmes and Garlett for two of the slowest players on our list? The mind boggles.

Yes he takes good marks, but how good is Tyson getting 30 touches and turning 20 of them over? Hogan has one job. He needs to kick goals. He lets his teammates down over and over again, and honestly it's a massive concern. As for Watts, you can pot him for a lot of things but kicking isn't one of them. Yes he missed a sitter but I rather the ball in his hands from 50m on an angle then Hogan directly in front 20m out. Says something.

Took the early flight to Hawaii

Congrats to Bolton. Thanks to his clever game day tactics he had a team with A grade spuds and hacks plus 3 good players, rip us to shreds. On the other hand, Melbourne with everything to play for, turned up a week too late for this game. Believed their own hype and got too far ahead of themselves. Not only did we miss finals by losing this game, we've given North a finals birth without needing to win a game. And St Kilda are above us on the ladder. Triple blow. Gawn had his worst game in two years today btw. Not a good time to have a stinker!

Melbourne FC- exceptional at disappointing fans since 1964

Coaches got smashed today. Pretty pathetic.

I've had enough of Hogan today He can take his attitude and his VFL level kicking and go away.

Our attitude is disgusting. Pea hearted. We had everything to play for today and apart from 2 or 3 players we are getting nothing from our players. Not only do we not deserve to make finals we don't deserve to be considered a team on the rise until this mentally pissweak attitude and soft underbelly is rid of. Shameful performance.

This game has ruined the last month of footy. Mentally weak and devoid of leadership we are.

Team selection again baffling. For one Pedersen ahead of Weiderman would help. Weids will be good but he isn't ready and we need to win right now! Michie is useless. Soooo slow. I guess we expected rain. He can take Bugg and go back to the VFL. Viney, Jones and Gawn having shockers. How can we win like that?

Apart from Jetta who is now injured, every other player is having a [censored] stinker. We can't win like this. Clearances are what 11-0? And who the [censored] is on Gibbs??? God this team knows just how to ruin your day don't they?

Go [censored] yourself Melbourne. Joke of a team. Got too cocky. Deserves everything they cop this week.
