stranga

This sums up how I feel these days and those years have definitely given me a better perspective on life priorities. Having said the taste of finals pulled me back in a little and I got sucked into that craving for success. Thankfully last night has put me right back in my place. I've slept off that diabolical loss a lot easier than I would have in the past.

Couldn't agree more. Sad but true.

You just compared Melbourne to Hawthorn...lol just slightly delusional

Time to go. Trade. Name me another successful top 2 Pick who needed a vfl stint and then became an elite player. Doesn't happen.

Nicely put. For me this in many ways is more unacceptable than anything in the previous 8 years.

So Disappointing for the club that they couldn't build on momentum of a prelim. We have gone backwards hard. Individuals and from a team style perspective.

25 bucks for row G of top deck. im normally loathe to pay extra on top of my home/away membership but I think we have no choice unless you can get there when gates open.

Shed a tear and cracked open the Johnny blue bottle....Will finish the whole thing when it's a flag.

Such pathetic defending

I've had to mute the volume between them and the commentators saying we can smell September setting us up for failure

She's all over. With fatigue our ability to pressure has dropped off enough to give them run. And we know we can't combat that

This is the best ever ?

Brilliant and spot on. These are the blokes we are holding our hopes on? Its naivity. They will never see it the way we do or feel it the way we do from a pure love of the club perspective.

Similar to but Way worse than jack Watts. At least Jack would finish occasionally.

It's so sad when the highlight of the last decade as Melb supporters is seeing a jackovich interview on a Thursday night. This new generation of players give us nothing. It's shameful.

Was always going to be a losing battle with Goodwin vs longmire in the boxes. So many mediocre players on this list and lack of leadership and class is astonishing to me. Hogan should be ashamed. Vanders and pedo are barely vfl standard. Mentally weak club!

Not even worth discussing anymore. Simply no good. Poor depth and ridic poor coaching.

How bad is Oscar McDonald? Imagine the ball was coming in quickly! Besides first quarter this is hard to watch.

I was disappointed in the last 5 minutes

To go goaless is just ridiculous

Last chance to show heart and professionalism. 25 minutes

This is not going to be a fun half hour

Spoil!!!!!!

It's pretty scary when you compare this afternoon's game's standard to our style of play. We are miles off. A backline with frost O Mac and Smith is unwatchable. This squad reeks of mediocrity. Jones is going to be a massive lost clogger next year.

I'm no better today. Had a think and honestly can't think of a time I've felt so low after a loss. Perhaps only the 2002 semi against Adelaide matches the pure devastation (another wasted season). I have endured so much and invested so much emotion over the years that I feel like this somehow tipped me over the edge. I don't think I can sustain what I felt last night again.
