Straight Sets Simon

That's why we were fined for conspiring to tank. There is no evidence (that I know of) that we did things to intentionally lose (tank).

Clearly there was pressure from Schwab and co. to try to maximise the draft picks, however I have not seen any concrete evidence that it was actually enforced and that we intentionally lost games. People point to players being played out of position, going off for surgery or playing the kids, but that happens every year. I want some hard concrete evidence that Melbourne intentionally lost games of football.

Essendon by 21 points. Our depth is no good. Come on optimists, sell me hope.

First home game against Essendon since?

This. Seeing Collingwood totally dismember Richmond by playing a highly-skilful tempo style of footy (when they are capable of running and gunning) made me very jealous.

He needs to drop five kilograms and have a stint at Casey.

That 50 metre penalty is the worst I’ve ever seen.

We aren’t winning the flag this year no matter what.

This.

Frost not playing close to Hawkins was interesting.

He just got outrun by Harry Taylor.

We kicked a goal from a player actually being front and centre!

Our lack of crumbing forwards was so evident and yet we did nothing to rectify it.

A second rounder in return would be nice.

Fumbles.

Especially when it’s bucketing down rain.

Dumb playing on when we don’t have to again.

No, last year he was horrible too.

Oscar missing punching the ball.

Melksham’a set shots are gross.

Key forwards aren’t in the team to tackle but his pressure is woeful.

Nice little elbow to the head of Melksham by Ablett.

Our touch and fumbling is disgusting.

Geelong always keep the ball in front of them, I wish we could do that.
