Straight Sets Simon

My fiancé is a teacher at a primary school with around 700 students, at their Footy Day last year they had less than 10 Melbourne supporters. There are kids up to the age of about 12 who wouldn't remember seeing Melbourne consistently win.

The slow would have just got slower.

They should both have at least one month of dominating the VFL before being considered for selection.

Is Cheney a much better player at Hawthorn than he was at Melbourne or is it just that his teammates are better? Last week he really stood out for being quite poor I thought. Morton, Gysberts and Maric all failed at other AFL clubs (plus Cook failed in the VFL) which to me is far more clear that drafting is the issue.

Development at Melbourne has been poor, but I think the majority of the problems have come through poor drafting.

Tyson and the potential of Salem (he may still turn out to be a spud) gives me comfort.

Kent played for Melbourne today too by the way.

Did Tapscott play?

I'm at the North game (free corporate tickets) crying as I watch Wines kick a goal.

All teams have a couple of plodders, we have at least 10 per game.

For the first time I'm questioning whether this club will be here in five years time.

Agreed, that dropped mark was just through a lack of concentration and laziness.

He's been one of Melbourne's best today.

I'd drop Watts next week if he keeps going the way he is. No hunger at all.

He just falls down as soon as he gets tackled.

She shanked a kick under no pressure and killed any momentum Melbourne had. It was terrible.

Good work, Lynden.

I used to think Evans could be pretty good, not after that kick.

Melbourne wearing white shorts was not a good choice.

You won't get anywhere with Matt Jones and Terlich.

I don't mind Pedersen in defence.

Again, Watts doesn't go in hard enough to get the ball.

Why do Melbourne players always looks so skinny?

That attempted "tackle" by Watts on Cameron was nothing short of soft and pathetic. He just has no urgency, none.

He won't improve his fitness playing a quarter or so of a game.
