Jaded No More

I appreciate that Roos replied and took some of the responsibility, as it is absolutely his job to get the team up to play each week. Obviously not something he is used to, as when he was up at Sydney and worked with a bunch of professional athletes who actually took pride in their job, he probably didn't need to tell them to turn up to games. It's actually disgusting that our players need to be urged to try and play hard. I get that the season is over, and we can't make finals, but futures are on the line, and wouldn't it be nice to finish closer to 8th than 18th for once? Take some momentum into pre-season? Actually take pride in our performances? Imagine if us plebs who earn not even a quarter of what these guys earned had to be told to turn up to work and try? In most normal jobs, the conversations would go something like this "turn up, or you're fired". At the MFC it's "what excuse can we use this week to explain why we didn't turn up to work".

Agreed- it's total garbage and a cop out Of the above list; Bail, Jetta, Jamar did not play and Grimes and Watts were among our better players

And so it begins I'm sure if he requests a trade the club will request 3 first round picks and an A grade midfielder. Good luck to him leaving until he's a free agent.

That was clearly a joke I don't think you'll find me having a go at Watts very often on here, and I thought he was OK today

I hope Jack Watts does an interpretative dance to go along with the written apology.

I don't disagree, but I would like an honest explanation for once. Are the players done? They had enough of the season? Is everyone still sick? Or are they just sick in the head? We sat through years of gutless performances and Mark Neeld told me "it is what it is". Well I say to the club "it is what it is when I don't spend yet another $400 next year to watch us lose" This club can't expect supporters to keep giving, if all we get in return are abhorrent weak performances. I need a reason other than Jesse Hogan and Angus Brayshaw, two players who will probably walk out on this club soon, to keep going and paying my fees. Right now, I have none.

Cross might be slowing but he is the only leader who puts in every week and doesn't drop his head. Jones, if injured, is doing himself and the team a massive disservice. Vince got ahead of himself and done nothing for a month. Dunn in has always been damn ordinary and that he is our vice captain is laughable. This club is going nowhere fast. Tom McDonald looks a broken men. Another gun young player who will walk out on this club and who can blame him. Him and Hogan will leave and take Brayshaw and Salem with them.

And this is why Cross gets another year. Head first while the rest of our players cruise around attempting one armed tackles.

Look alive Stretch. Poor bloody effort

Only against Melbourne do complete [censored] spuds like Buckley and Everit have good games And [censored] off Garlett. Useless today and completely costly. Get [censored] Melbourne, you are a pathetic heartless gutless bunch of losers and you are embarrasing this once great club.

Moron Newton. Zero awareness. 2 down on the bench and we are still slow and second to the ball Wtf is wrong with Nathan Jones?? Hogan can't even take a mark. We are cooked.

Oh my god we are so bad. Kicking inside 50 is a joke. Game over We are seriously the most embarrasing team in the competition.

Too many [censored] handball Learn to kick.

Hogan needs to stop complaining to his teammates.

Even if we somehow win this, it means nothing Disgusting effort is a disgusting effort

I could cry but this club is a waste of my tears and my money

It's the end for me. I've sat through a lot of [censored] in my Melbourne supporting life, but today I am feeling such disgust and apathy as I watch this lack of effort that I am done I was going to renew my membership next year despite the fact that I'll be away for most of the season. But after 15 years of consecutive membership I'm done. Can't do this anymore. My life and happiness is worth more than this disgusting execuse of a footy club. It's not even half time and I'm leaving. I am so ashamed to be a Melbourne supporter.

How much longer I keep caring about a team that doesn't care about the club or the jumper? Loser team that doesn't deserve my support

[censored] training drill. Well done Melbourne. You never cease to disappoint, disgust and let us down.

Man the [censored] up on Walker. Jesus Christ this team has zero self respect.

[censored] this team can't execute basic skills Letting Carlton win We are a joke

Agreed Only difference is Carlton want to lose

Knowing our luck he'll kick 6

If we win I get free drinks and the weather is splendid. Could also be my last game at the G until next August. Otherwise this game is going to suck

The only Essendon player I'd go near is Zaharakis- clean from the drug saga and quick Plus one less player to have destroy us every single time we play Essendon
