Straight Sets Simon

I stopped watching at "I don't think the effort was too bad...".

I know Mission has a great reputation and Melbourne had a poor fitness base to begin with, but it just looks as though there is no explosive power to any of our players. They just can't seem to break or hold tackles, little or now acceleration.

Wait, how many less games on average per player did Melbourne have? Let's clear that up first.

I can accept Dwayne pointing out Melbourne's flaws (we all do it), but I heard him in the second quarter say something like "Fremantle fans are feeling sorry for Melbourne". That's just nasty and wrong. I've stopped watching since half-time but the guy is just an absolute loser.

I've stopped watching. Life is too short.

How they can't man-up is just beyond a joke.

No possessions this quarter!

I can't stress this enough, if you run you will get the ball. Melbourne just don't run. It's pretty bloody simple.

Following an opponent is the easiest thing in football. Why can't we do it?

Last week it was skills, this week it's effort. These players just can't be bothered running or thinking for that matter.

I just don't get it, why don't Melbourne players run?

No spread, no running already. Lazy.

Dumb Dunn. Sick of Dwayne already, he really hates Melbourne.

He missed the most obvious question: "Are you injured, if not why so slow?"

Really?

The Aaron Hall Thread Kicked a lazy five goals against Hawthorn today. We took Sellar, Tynan and Taggert ahead of him.

Demonland would probably make better recruiters.

He holds the ball on a strange angle.

To think only a few years ago we tore them apart, made them look like a pedestrian team.

Collingwood are playing like Melbourne, Sydney on the other hand sprint, and then they sprint some more and if in doubt they sprint. It's not complicated.

I've been critical of Strauss but I thought he was pretty good last week, very unlucky.

I don't want to lose Watts because he has talent, something that is all too rare at Melbourne. I agree that Neeld has done a poor job getting the best out of the players, but by God Watts has put in some insipid soft and weak efforts so far.

If we lost Gawn that would be a massive blow.

The same thing I wanted to see in round 1, team work and players working for each other.

The "rebuild" gets longer and longer every time Melbourne lose talented senior players.
