I think there needs to be more sophisticated methods used to ensure fans treat other fans with respect. Perhaps replace the wages for the new crowd behavioural officers (watch dogs) with wages for a team of people who conduct surveys pre and post gameday about their experience. This is just a quick thought that came to mind as an example. I don't really care what the method is, but i assume it's better to work with fans rather than alienating or punishing them.

Prohibiting alcohol takes away from fans who 'do the right thing' as well. I don't believe in blaming alcohol helps.

Imagine being a hawks supporter and having to wear their horrid colours!!

Surprise packet : Marty Hore/Oskar Baker/Harmes's attitude. Disappointment : Kick for goal/kicking into fifty/lack of pace/composure.

To support the Dee's!? It will 80-20 crowd split if only the staunch turn up.

I think Frost will benefit from May and Lever in the back line. Are you in the above quote referring to the play in the last 5 minutes against GWS? I remember looking at it thinking Frost had no faith in Oscar catching his opponent, so he rushed to intercept but then changed his mind. The problem was, even if Frost stayed with his own man, Oscar was useless because he's too slow to catch... well most AFL players. So I feel for Frosty there, he takes the fall.

I feel Frost's clangers get commented on too much without mention of his positives. He's tall, fast, strong, quite aggressive at the ball, bold (I'm sure with support he can continue to refine his distribution), has a long kick, tackles well. I worry about Lever staying injury free for long periods. Hoping he'll be good for us. Strange post though, Frost and Hore play different positions.

This club always makes me cry! Hehe.

Nether should miss out. Wagners, and Oscar should make room.

There was also a ridiculous free kick awarded to Kennendy in the first for getting out witted and out muscled by frost. 20 meters out!

I agree. We have mostly passive players. If Preuss was along side, he would of nailed Vardy for that!

A frustrating loss has brought out so much sourness! I and suspect most Melbourne fans assumed we'd get rolled over tonight, but to my surprise we played our best game of the season.

Salem's brilliant. Disagree With your assessment on Tracc And Tommy. And Lewis is still valuable. Wagner played well for his ability, but hopefully we'll be able to replace him in the first team when other's become available.

Holy holy holy!!!

Melbourne players and coaches reprimanding him for having a beer I can understand; Melbourne fans and AFL fans reprimanding him is depressing.

Hope to join you there at Carrara being a temporary Queenslander. Go Dees!

As supporters, we should support! Talking about trading players when we're losing, is a bit like backst#%@&ng.

True. I was talking to a friend just today about the differences between a commentator from a media background and a commentator from a football background; the latter are getting more and more airtime and i believe they're lowering the professionalism of match calling.

As soon as i saw him sort out Aliir, i liked him. Then Scoring two very good goals, what a beast! Without him standing up to and standing over Aliir, I feel we would have most likely lost this game to Sydney's physical mind games; They have been beating us and many with this tactic for years. I was overjoyed seeing him react aggressively to Aliir's attemp to boss our players. My god we need that. We have mostly passive type players compared to Sydney's and Viney can't be everywhere at once. Hopefully his shoulder will be alright.

Great quarter!!

Petracca!!

Your last two statements i agree with. I haven't given up on Hibb's yet though.

Good quarter by us.

Go Frosty!!

Your statement here is as depressing as our last defeat.
