1. Jones (just keeps performing0 2. Watts ( silky skills) 3. Bate (best game for along time) 4.Sylvia (ditto) 5. Rivers (a revelation up forward) 6. McDonald (improving every outing) Apologies to the rest of the team (especially Clark) who all put in a great effort.

Best thing was how few boos were necessary. At one point in the third quarter I forgot he was playing.

Morton gets to have another week off. How is this supposed to improve him ? Surely a game with Casey to try & improve his deficiencies would have been more beneficial.

Sorry did I "mention the war".

We could do with Schwarz back at the club mentoring Watta, Cook & McDonald.

Jack should be told to shirk the contest for the rest of the year. Headline "Jack loses nerve after broken jaw". Do you think GC & GWS would take the bait?

For God's sake we need to win as many games as we can to recover some respect. I am sick of people at work saying they feel sorry for Melbourne. Enough is enough I want us to be hated like Collingwood & Carlton.

Great opportunity for either no.4 or no.10 to iron out no. 9 & get posters on here off their backs for a few weeks.

It's lucky his name is not Morton or people would be lamenting his poor kicking skills. Hardly ever hits a target, coughs up the ball on numerous occasions. But does it with great flamboyance

Thanks KC good to hear he is on the way back. Also good to hear Cook is performing well.

Thanks KC. Did Strauss play, if so how did he pull up?

For all those commentators who have knocked Jack for getting easy kicks in the backline. Interesting comment from Neeld in his interview at end of the game. PARAPHRASING: Jack is not set up as a loose man in defense he just has the ability to read the play & get out by himself.

How many trolls do we have on this thread. I can't believe some of the comments on here are from Melbourne supporters.

They never tried to knock the smart arse out of Stephen Milne & look at him. Maybe we could do with a bit of this attitude on field.

How do you know how Geelong would cope with the situation. Because you think you know doesn't make it a fact. Eddie & Malthouse believe coaches leaving during finals time was enough to destabilise Collingwood.

If you think I live in a rosy world, it just shows how wrong you are & I am offended by your personal attack. I know from personal experience how trauma can affect performance. Maybe it is you who live in the rosy world if you can't understand.

Does anyone on this site have any idea what the traumas of the last few weeks must have done to the players confidence & ability to perform at their best. A lot of you seem to think that the players are robots with no feelings. Do you think that you could lose a mentor, have one of your best friends up on serious charges, have another of your friends accused of being a destabilising influence on your workplace & have the company you work for shown to have financial difficulties & still come out and perform your job to the best of your ability. I know i couldn't & haven't in the past under stressful circumstances (and I'm sixty not a young kid) Maybe you are all right & we are a c**p side & all the players are useless but I think we need to give them an opportunity to rebuild their confidence & mindset before we judge them too harshly.

I wasn't suggesting Eddie made him write the Stuff. I was suggesting Eddie could have alerted the press to the fact that the Facebook page existed.

Thanks Ron for the post, nothing wrong with a little dreaming now and again.

Probably die of a heart attack half way through last quarter & miss the celebrations.

Does the corporate elite you are talking about include Eddie ? He did say he could affect our sponsorship.

Jack WHO????

If it was this week I would understand, Iv'e run for the bottle a couple of times myself

That's funny whilst reading the article I had to check that I wasn't still on Demonland. Maybe he gets his copy from here.

You have to remember that both Jacks had interrupted pre seasons & are short on match fitness. I'm sure as their match fitness improves we will see more & more of them in the thick of the action.
