Jaded No More

Damn you Jack Watts, you have ruined everything! On a serious note, this is the only decision the club could have made. No other correct decision in this situation. You cannot keep this jerk onboard and alienate everybody that he offended. All I'm interested now is how much we got out of them, at least for this year, and what is our plan going forward. Might be time to suck it up and take a sponorship deal for FOJ sponsor for less than we initially wanted. Better than nothing.

Who knew you could sue people for frustrating you. I could have been a millionaire by now!

I believe in Mark!

Like the club needs to deal with angry delusional supporter emails on top of everything else. How about you wait for our reaction to this before you jump on the "I am an embattled supporter, I am disgusted, I am microwaving my membership as we speak, this will not stand, ARGH!". Do you know what I do with customer feedback emails? Trash them.

Energy Watch would have to pay out at least this year's sponsorship if we dump them, we should insist on it. In fact, they may have already paid up the $2mil, and there is no way we're giving that back. At least that should give us 12 months breathing space to find a new sponsor.

Yet Trengove, Watts, and many many other players chose to stay long term. Please, he left because he is a scumbucket who cares only for the money. Don't bring yet another sh*t person into this discussion.

No, this is about a mentally unstable person who has made disgusting comments towards people of different races, and then made specific comments of the most disgusting nature towards one of our players. I'd have supported somebody belt the crap out of him, let alone naming, shaming and then dumping him. That the MFC just somehow keeps finding itself in a sh*t storm is a separate issue. Our on field performances don't help, but neither do our players getting into trouble off field, and then having AFL employees with gutter mouths. It's been a year from hell.

[censored] OFF GWS!

We should dump this idiot, but we should first make him pay out the full sponsorship term. This is not our fault, we cannot control what this person does, and it shouldn't now seriously damage our financial position. [censored] off Energy Watch, and thanks for the $6mil. Mind you, our inability to get a FOJ sponsor has left us in the worst possible position now. How much more can this club take?

This is just taking the [censored] now. FFS

You know we have hit rock bottom when everybody pretty much agrees that we'll lose by 100 points and nobody is surprised by it. Not even in our wooden spoon years did I tip against us and go into a match hoping to lose by unde 100 points to keep it respectable. But, reality is, there is a bigger chance I'll get run over by a donkey, than of us winning this game.

Optimistic view: we'll lose by 10 goals Pessimistic view: I'll turn it off at quarter time when we're down by 10 goals

I can safely say that no group meetings ever take place at Melbourne. Ever. We don't want anybody thinking that we are discriminating against the individual. Whoever leaked to the media the news that team meetings were held on a regular basis, clearly did not see our game on Saturday.

How is Jack Watts escaping blame for all this?

We won the coin toss on Saturday. I rejoiced. Kill me.

Maybe that's what the [censored] who spread the rumour wants you to believe, because he needs somebody to blame for this fabricated load of garbage. Caroline Wilson says that Davey, the only senior indigenous player at Melbourne, personally flat out denied this crap. I will believe Caro everyday of the week and twice on Sunday before I listen to Robinson. We might have a rubbish midfield, we might have a boring game plan, our coach might possibly be planning to murder our players, but we are not a racist club who treats their indigenous players with such disrespect. Move on.

Please, I'll be here til I die.

I don't understand.

I'm calling for a massive snow storm which grounds all airplanes and leaves us stranded here, so the match gets called off and we get 2 points for a draw. Hooray!

I am cutting my life expectancy significantly short by being a Melbourne supporter. I've bought in. Now can I buy some therapy?

This club is a movie just waiting to write itself.

Huge difference criticizing on field performances and coming out again and again complaining how much of a badly run organization we are. I go every week and put up with this sh*t because that's what supporters do. You just seem to find a fault in everything, whereas I see all the great off field results we've had and at least know that we're going to be OK in the long term. I am negative about the now, you are just negative about everything this club has to offer, which leaves me wondering why you are even a Melbourne supporter? It's not really something that is being forced upon you I wouldn't think.

5- Our midfield is crap 4- Our players are lazy 3- Clint Bartram can't kick 2- Nathan Jones can't tag 1- I will probably die waiting for a premiership

I get that we're trying to convert T Mac from a defender into a forward, but after a great pre-season in which he excelled in all the running drills, he got crap all game time in the NAB cup and then proceeded to be the equal top goal kicker for Casey on the weekend. If we don't reward that sort of performance after so many of our first choice players stunk up the G, something is very wrong. At the very least we know he has the tank to run out a full game. A nice commodity to have in a team sports which runs for 2.5 hours.

Feels like I've waited my whole life for these people to make amends for their [censored] poor performances under pressure. I'm getting old, and it's wearing thin. I can count on 1 hand the number of times these guys have been dropped for poor form, but there aren't enough fingers and toes to count how many times they've backed up one garbage performance with another. Every one of us has a certain level of accountability in our jobs, hell, in our lives. Why can't these highly paid professionals be afforded the same level of accountability the rest of us mere mortals have? That all these guys survived 186 after a combined total of about 5 disposals and 0 tackles and hard ball gets between them is a miracle. They should thank their lucky stars they still have a job.
