Jaded No More

Let's not kid ourselves. Yes, we only lost by 21 points, but Bulldogs are crap. We got demolished through the middle again, we couldn't hit targets, we couldn't kick a goal and we sure as hell didn't have the intestinal fortitude to stick it out when the game was there to be won. For a team to concede two [censored] easy goals two minutes into the last quarter is inexcusable. Jordie, Jonesy, Rivers and Bater can stand tall. The rest all had patches of absolute garbage and let us down badly. And FFS Morton stop being so lazy you can't be arsed hitting a target by hand 3meters away. ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Brilliant news, especially since it means we can stop talking about who will sponsor us for at least the next year. Go Dees!

If I had a left nut, I'd give it to have Ross Lyon as our coach. I rate him hugely.

Please for the love of god let's win this one.

First time in 11 years of following Melbourne that I left a game early. Never have I felt so numb or apathetic toward the club and footy in general. In a way I'm jealous of you, because losing used to hurt me, now I feel nothing but resentment. It's a really bad place to be for someone who loved this club more than almost anything else. Not sure I could bring myself to go on Sunday if it wasn't for Jim's memorial.

Whatever gets you going I guess

I don't understand why people think we need Watts at CHF more than we need him in the midfield. Have you seen our midfield? Add Jurrah to the forward mix, and that's a potent forwardline. If only we had a midfield capable of getting the ball in there more than 29 times a game! If Watts turns out to be a gun midfielder, in the mould of Pendelbury, he also comes from a basketball background, and can occassionally push forward and kick goals, that would be a brilliant outcome. Just because he was pick 1, and had "CHF" written on his resume, doesn't mean he can't now adapt to fill a much needed hole in our side. I for one would be thrilled if he turned out to be a match winning midfielder.

Like teaching your kids to swim by throwing them in the pool. Being a Melbourne supporter prepares you for the harsh realities of life. Failure, disappointment and heartbreak. *may also lead your kids to drink

One of the few highlights of 2012. Loving him and his actual kicking ability in the middle. Smart, composed and full of class. He and Howe are a breath of fresh air on the wing.

It's your stupid outrage that is preventing you from understanding the point I am trying to make. In what is meant to be a night for the club to be proud of the achievements of an incredible man who saved our club, it would hurt that much more to watch the team capitulate as they have in the last 3 weeks. Jim's memory won't be ruined by it, but the night will certainly be much poorer for it because we'll dominate the headlines for all the wrong reasons again. Put it this way, I am not looking forward to the team [censored] up another big occasion.

Absolutely. Forget Ablett who is a freak and better than our entire list combined, here is a team of kids and old hacks who fought every second of the game despite a horrible start, and nearly pinched a contest. And then to see Alwyn Davey and Hurley win Essendon the game just burns that little bit more.

Really, you don't think that coming out next week and getting thrashed again because our players are weak and lazy is not going to put a massive downer in what is meant to be a celebration of Jim Stynes' life? I for one would rather not have a memorial for someone's life tainted by a garbage performance. Hope they prove me wrong, but I watched Gold Coast tonight and it become abundantly clear how woefully weak our list is. And it's bad enough copping that week in week out, but having it infiltrate a night dedicated to someone who fought out his life, is really going to be the cherry on top of the crap cake.

We didn't even talk to Martin. It took 10 minutes of being around Scully to notice he is a self centered [censored].

How the hell can the coach of the club take no blame? He makes zero game day changes, dropped Davey for one week, and then comes out after the game talking crap about how we won a quarter. He has plenty of blame to shoulder.

Who gives a crap. Watch us get humiliated and destroy the memory of Jim Stynes.

Another one in a long list of NQR players.

Here is my post match summary: we are the worst team in the competition outside the two clubs who have been around for 2 years. Port Adelaide and Richmond have both passed us by.

This is the first time in my life I left a game early. We are a disgusting joke and I am [censored] sick of the bunch of lazy hacks representing this club. Pathetic.

We should take Pendelbury off his hands. Such a liability having this hack chew up so much of their salary cap.

It's going to be suicide hour here tomorrow at 6pm. Optimism is bloody dangerous for Melbourne supporters.

Carlton make me sick. Can't even talk about them. Hope they rot in hell.

You and I clearly do not have the same shopping habits. Milan, Paris, Barcelona. I could spend $6000 a day if I had the money. Must stay well clear of all Prada related goods. But yes, flights are definitely the biggest expense. Add a connection into the Middle East and watch the price climb. Damn hell holes!

$10,000 doesn't really get you very far. A ticket to Europe via Asia with a connecting flight into another European country will set you back $3000. More if you want special cripple seats. Can't believe how much they rip you off if you can't sit cramped up against some fat guy for 44 hours. Total discrimination against people with bad knees! By the way, we just got a sponsor on an 8 day turnaround. Are people really complaining? Really?! Talk about first world problems!

Great news. Just booked my Europe trip with them last week too! Well done to the club for getting this sorted quick smart. One week without a sponsor given the circumstances is unbelievable really. The logo does look too big but there is no doubt it's just some sticker they ironed on. They'll probably hold off to get the back sorted before getting the merchandise printed. That stuff costs money to set up. You'll be paying for every new print screen you request.
