what have the club done to him?

We need some players with passion and pride, not players who are just happy to take home their paycheck each week. The players that took the field on Saturday should really donate their payment to Reach. The effort shown in the second half was appalling and no way to honour a club legend. Each time we have a terrible loss like that, all the players come and say how disappointed they were at the effort put in (see Brad Green on yesterday's Footy Show). How about showing some passion and pride while it is happening and not letting the result be so bad? It was interesting that Brad Green was asked if the Melbourne players really hurt when they lose. His response was that he definitely hurts. It does not look like to me that any of the players are really upset when they lose and I think that's part of the main problem.

Well said!

Agree. I never understand why the ruckman (Jamar, Martin or whoever is in the role at the time) is not around the 50-55m mark for the kick-in, he always seems to be around 70m+ away from the kick-in and the kick never makes it that far.

I think this is a point that people keep forgetting. If it took him 2 months to come back from a hammy, then who knows what would have happened this year. I was always a big fan of Junior's but i think his body was telling him last year that time was up. I think he'll be a great developmental coach for the young players at GWS but i'm not sure playing is the right thing for him to do.

It's a lunch for Demons in Insurance.

it is the choice of the player to push themselves to the limit but it is also the coach's job to make them accountable if they are not doing it.

So was Brent Grgic when the demons moved him on.....would you have kept him longer??

Gut running.

I think we were the higher team on the ladder when we played North, St Kilda and the Bulldogs. All i want to see is us beating the teams below us on the ladder and being competitive against the teams above us. I think that is a fair expectation.

Re Morton - on the other hand, his kick out on the full in the back pocket in the second quarter was very ordinary. I think what people are concerned about is that he has been there 4 years already and we are still talking about him arriving in due course. How long do you give someone to prove themselves?

So km's run in a game means he's had an impact on a game? that's also seems like a pretty vague way to analysis a player's game.

What great good is that exactly?

i totally agree. he never looks interested either.

I learnt at a young age to have the no expectations policy with the demons but i got sucked into all the expectation the club was selling over summer and now i am disappointed.
