I'd love to get Treloar or Sheil at the club, but methinks it's going to get harder to pry players out of GWS now they are up an about.

Watts is back in purely because our talent pool is so shallow.

I gotta admit it burns watching other teams transform under a new coach in just one pre season, where we have the highest paid coach in the league, and 18 months in we are still questioning the minimum requirements of our players, effort, etc.

I'd give Jonathon Griffin a fat pay cheque to come over from Freo. He's killing in in the WAFL, just can't crack into that side with sandilands.

I think even Toumpas knows we should have picked someone else.

Hawthorn 5.5 7.10 15.12 23.16 154 Sun 23-Mar-2008 4:40 PM (3:40 PM) Att:40,141 Venue: M.C.G. Melbourne 1.1 1.5 2.10 6.14 50 2008, the start of the rebuild. Look how far we've come. We come absolutely nowhere. What an indictment on the people who have run this club.

The last 3 weeks have been garbage. Never going to win these games but the required effort just hasn't been there. Make these teams earn these wins FFS. Its depressing how far away we are from these teams.

Team WADA. Let's do this!

Melbourne paying $26 for 40+ - get on it.

Spencer needs a good run at it. I liked that his strength worried Pyke. Got a few free kicks (handballs) out of the ruck where as Jamar seems to give plenty a way. He also likes to get involved in the clearance after the hit out too which Jamar doesn't either. He's not perfect but offers more than Jamar does at the moment. I felt Toumpas was played out of position as a defender. Let him run around the ball, see what he can do. It made him look worse than what he is trying to spoil players like Reid.

JKH can't kick a goal to save his life.

You have to feel it for our defence and forward line. Our midfield makes their job a nightmare.

I remember a few years back him saying he wanted to be the best player in the league, or something along those lines. I giggled but i also loved his determination. This guy was always going to get the best out of himself. Absolute star.

Borrrrrrring!

Our problem is basically losing all structure when pressured. Panic football. Too many players get drawn into the contest.

Jesse's looking a bit flat tonight. I'm hoping the Hulkster didn't give him the big leg drop during the week.

We are years away from being any good. Our only "upset" wins are against bottom 10 sides.

The players look baffled out there trying to move the ball. Hope Roosy has some tricks up his sleeve or this is going to get Fugly.

Mckenzie's game reminded me of when Nicho came in for one game last year. If he's dropped this week i reckon he's gone. Just not good enough at this level unfortunately despite his best efforts.

Absolutely. But Jack is doing this week in week out. When he was out marked by Jamie Bennell last year I gave up.

Freo defenders parked themselves in front of him a few times on the lead. He should be making defenders earn those marks. He just glances by them. Zero aggression. The tackles he accumulates are when he's been beaten one on one and chasing the ball he should have won in the first place. The amount of one on one battles he loses, regardless of the size or height of the opponent is embarrassing.

What is going on with Tyson? Looks unfit, disinterested.

Just watched the videos. That is some shockingly bad form from the two.

The list is getting stronger. Our depth players are depth now, not best 22.

Vince for Sylvia. Hogan for Scully. Brayshaw for Frawley. After nearly a decade of list management nightmares the wheel is starting to turn.
