You can practice and practice and practice, but it matters little on game day, not sure which bit you comedians don't get, it is the onfield leadership, which is sadly lacking today

Of course they are coached to stop the ball carrier, but they don't do it, solution?

Not sure which bit people don't get, we get glimpses of the game plan like the Melksham goal, but if players make simple skill errors and wrong decisions, what is the point?

That is not the game plan, can't we lay the blame at the players for a change or is that too hard

It is pointless if we take the wrong option constantly, we have players who can work one on one, if the ball is delivered quickly and properly It seems to me that players are afraid to take responsibility, it is up to Gawn and Viney to drive this It beggars belief that players are coached to make fundamental errors

All the emotive rubbish as usual, Richmond are forcing us into fundamental errors, it's the players not the coach

At least they are unique, rather than the small herd mentality that prevails on here, where some posters will offer a statement, not an opinion, without knowing any of the facts, and that statement becomes fact, such as below

Amazing, why thank you, I try and bring a bit of balance to the perpetually over critical input from some posters Mahoney is doing his job, he may not get everything right, but hey only the bloke in the ermine robes in Rome is supposed to be infallible and he backed up Pell

That's a skateboard, not a scooter, although I am quite adept on both A car crash is quite appropriate for some of the posts on here Correct in your assertion in the first paragraph unfortunately you are replying to some posters who let emotion get in the way of thought or rationale Agree with the second, but unfortunately none on here are in the Inner Sanctum of the Club, so have no idea of the background, raison dieter for some of the decisions, we only see, in some cases the outcome Unless you have been in a managerial position, you don't have the experience or knowledge to know and understand the 'politics' behind some decisions, and even then a footy club is a completely different beast If Pert and the Board decide Mahoney has to go, that will happen, if they don't no amount of huffing and puffing on here will change that

Vicious? I hope you sleep with the light on Not having a go at supporters per se just the small minority of whiners on here, all mouth and trousers or all wind and [censored] As @Wiseblood has said, let's get the whole list of staff from the Chairman down and start a topic ' are they the right guy' If success is not forthcoming, change will happen Just depends on the intestinal fortitude of all concerned to see how long before action is taken As I have said, there are avenues to air your discontent, unfortunately it takes a person to come out from behind a cloak of anonymity Or you can continue to whinge and whine on here Intestinal fortitude Using that phrase see if @Ethan Tremblay can come up with his usual witheringly funny gif or meme NOT

Nah, not a fan of blowhard couldabeens who do nothing but whinge and whine We keep having AGM and last year a Members Forum, do the blowhards stand up and air their grievances at a forum they can? Nah, they prefer to snipe from behind the anonymity of a nickname I am certainly not happy with some of the decisions made, but given the opportunity I have expressed that face to face, like men do (sorry ladies) I have no desire to devote my time to being a Board Member at a footy club, it is a particularly thankless task at Melbourne If you want to create change, get yourself on the Board, it is a right as a fully paid up member, if you are one, to put yourself forward for election More a tasty cheddar or maasdam man myself You also seem to be saying that the club is doing something unlawful or morally wrong as that is the meaning of complicit, if that was the word you were reaching for Of course I keep forgetting that there is an air of infallibility amongst the posters on Demonland, never made a mistake or wrong move, particularly in their work life

Supporters sick of talk, you wouldn't think so from the pages and pages of waffle from the couch bound Chairmen, CEOs, Football Managers and Coaches on here

Nah, chap, I do point out players, like Lockhart cost 2 goals trying to play on, he'll learn from it Not criticising, just think the bit about emotional involvement is overblown Specialice an Italian pasta?

Eek, it's just a game of footy, emotional investment in my family is much more important I think you will find, that a lot supporters get [censored] off with a loss, but it is over the next day, most have much more important things to think about

Personally I think the majority of supporters just support, yes we would all like a bit of success, but footy is a game, doesn't impact majorly on your life if there is a loss. If it does you really need to look at your life in general There is just a small group of miseries on here that will whinge and whine no matter what

Wow, everybody on here was crying to get Lockhart in, he cost 2 goals with crucial errors He wasn't coached I am sure to take players on inside the 50 Other errors are players not doing what they are coached to do You can't coach skill errors

You really do need to get out more, if your footy team is the most important thing in your life We made a few crucial defensive errors, must say Goodwin MUST HAVE coached them to make those errors

We lost the game through crucial defensive errors, Geelong didn't

That has no relevance whatsoever, they swapped the players around in the scratch match

On match committee now @Redleg ?

It's a grind, both teams thrive on contested ball

Then don't bother

I am going to, get ready to watch the game at local pub Nice chicken parma, few schooners of summer able, hopefully watch an entertaining game A Melb win, looking forward to seeing AVB and Hannan, black, sad Nev is not out there, form dropped a bit Nobody will die if we lose, it is only footy

Nice to see all the 'supporters' up nice and early, lovely day to be so [censored] miserable Just watch the game, then we can have multiple pages of post game angst, no matter the result

I dunno, maybe the year he got All Australian?
