This is a good reminder that our game is thuggish. A disturbing reminder perhaps. But it highlights our lack of nastiness. I think most who see that video clip will find it disturbing how none of our teammates attacked Buddy after that.

Ambivalent about this one at the moment. Shame the AFL logo is so prominent and the sponsors.

We can. This kind of thinking that 'we can't play at the G' tends toward the superstitious. No offence intended. I'm a little superstitious myself, just not about our losses at the G.

I surprised to hear his left handed. I recall him favouring his right hand when handballing. It makes more sense of his unusual hand position when dropping the ball.

How do you listen to a post? Hehe. He holds the ball in a way to suit his left boot, kind of; but his run up, as silly as it looks, is for his right boot.

Strong game by Frosty. He's a gun!

I'm saying Sydney are more than a "half decent side". I think we're somewhere around the average level pushing above.

A half decent side would be a team like Essendon not Sydney.

If the season was over, then maybe i'd talk trades. We got to use what we've got for now. What happens when your newly recruited player starts under preforming..... trade talks begin again? Hogan's fix's the one flaw in his game eg, instead of stuttering up to his set shot at goal like he's trying to pull off a ridiculous dance maneuver and just kick the skin off it; he'd at the very least be a 50/50 chance and we'd all love him.

He's a bad set shot kick, but a good field kick.

I agree on discussing what would be helpful, I just don't like the hysterical premise. The season's not over, we need positive solutions now, not next year. Maybe play Hogan strictly at half forward and in the middle next week?

What a depressing thread!

1. Salem 2. Harmes. 3. Frost. 4. Oliver. 5. Tmac. 6. Lewis or Tyson.

I was hopeful as well, but he sprayed a shot like that last week, or maybe the week before. I find the most frustrating thing with him isn't so much his missed shot, but his lack of physicality.

Calm down sweetie.

Garlett would be one. But he hasn't been good for awhile.

What was wrong with Ped's game? Spargo? The others would be better in our two's though.

The worst part about the Leigh Matthews statue is that it's at the MCG. I for one don't want to look at that! Should be getting shat on by pigeons at Glenferrie.

I'm ashamed to even read these above words! joeboy you must of been an amazing player! Where to begin. Fritsch was awesome tonight. Spargo very good again. Clarry very good. Big Max Awesome. Jordan Lewis classy. Frost was good. Jones played well as usual. Angus good and spirited. Harmes was busy retarding there's. Jeffy not so good. Jake Melk great when he was there. Petracca doing good things. Nev Jed great. Big Tom fantastic. Dom better, but still problematic. Joel smith great fighting ability and still very promising. Salem class. Bernie. Reassures us. (Back off haters). Kennedy looking fitter. Oscar exposed again. Jesse good when in possession. We lost when we should of won. Jones needs to command more off the ball. Composure in the final minutes could of won this match. We lost when we should of won, so I personally look at all the positives.

Hallelujah!! That's the attitude; an actual supporter! Good on you Roost, he will be a champion as long as we the people of Melbourne support him.

I agree. Players who do that give me no confidence in their accuracy. Having said that Dusty and Danger do as well. Both of them obviously kick well most of the the time, but ever now and again they miss their targets unexpectedly.

When I heard he'd announced his retirement I was so glad. I'm sick of seeing him embarrass our defenders. Yes, he was a very good player; that's why i'm glad to see the back of him. If he'd kept playing, disgusting Hawthorn would be stronger.

Typical double standards of the AFL; hysterical about some forms of violence, uninterested in other forms.

Frost made a few mistakes in games last season and was dropped quite promptly. And I remember people on this site suddenly thought little of him. Oscar Mcdonald seems to be able to make blunders every game without getting dropped. I don't get it.

Lewis is our most composed player.
