Is this controversial? Edmund's post is weirdly defensive.

I wouldn't have thought so hey. Not sure if he's getting on the front foot because we lost and thought there might be backlash?

Wouldn’t have thought so. Players are entitled to leave like any other employee, taking one game off at this time of year isn’t an issue.

Out- McAdam leading at the ball in a straight line, mostly to Pickett in the midfield

In- Brown deep in the goal square with Petty next to him. Pickett in the pocket and McAdam to learn how to stand still better

Yeah life’s short, it’s just footy, if it’s important to him than he’s more than entitled to some time off for it. Frankly If I were a dees player I’d be hitting up all the international weddings I could to get out of playing in our system.

He's become a bog standard accumulator. He is not damaging in any way whatsoever. Hacks the ball forward at every opportunity or handballs to a mate immediately under pressure. Just ends up helping create turnovers rather than set up clean forays forward.

Paying a fortune for someone you can pay 400-500k for to do the same job. I don't think he'll get dropped or should be dropped , but **** me it's grim. Back to his kicks touching the clouds on the weekend too.

Every time he got a free kick or mark. Stop, walk 5 steps back slowly then try and hit the moon.

Stats nerds -
Metres gained and contested disposals

Hello Dees board,

This should be a cracker for the defensive footy purists out there. I feel you will win on sheer individual quality. Max vs Marshall will be something to watch in isolation at the very least. Let’s hope for a glimmer of entertaining footy and no injuries eh

Who are defensive purists? Supporters in denial about their teams inability to score so they like to pretend defense is sexy to high intellect individuals?

Langdon back will be a big in. Had been in good form. Totally entitled to have the week off. Not like his sister can just arrange it all around him. Pretty sure it’s a more complex event to arrange than some think.

I do wonder, on the subject of Wingman if Windsor is due to be ‘managed’. Thought they’d rest him at some point. But maybe the bye a few weeks back and the upcoming one will do.

Haven’t heard anything on Bowey. Came back in a moon boot due to that ankle. Don’t need to lose him again.

Looked like he rolled it in the moment. Came right back on. I expect the moon boot was precautionary.

My concern is that when Petty goes back, Goody will think we still need an "experienced" tall up forward, so Brown will somehow avoid being dropped.

Probably won't make a lick of difference but I'd honestly rather see Tmac swung back there.

We're doomed either way.

DOOMED.

Hunter is out of form , or sulking , or both . Does not deserve a call up based on his last couple of games for Casey. .

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

a few mates and I were going to go but have decided it's not worth it, will be lucky to get 25k there.

Sorry this is gonna be a long ass doomy gloomy post

I've tried so hard to be positive about this team and feel like I'm usually the one to tell the negative supporters to settle down but it sucks cos you were all right in the end lol

I'm in my early-mid 20s with a big social life but I've always tried my best to make it to every Dees game and go to them as well. I've been to 27 Melbourne games since the flag and all I've recieved back is 90% of it being boring, s**t footy and a double straight sets exit.

I sorta called it after the semi final that I would go to a lot less footy this year and after last nights loss I've never been more determined to keep it that way. In fact last nights game was the first time in a long time I'd switched off halfway through the third quarter and got on with my life.
Hell I would've felt a bit better about last night if we managed to get 90+ with Fritsch kicking a bag or something, that's actually fun to watch

Like I went to Melbourne vs Geelong with my Girlfriend and her Brother who are mad Geelong fans, and as fun as that last quarter was, it was a crappy game. At half time they were saying this is the worst game they've ever seen and I was like yeah that's most Melbourne games.

I sat through plenty of drubbings at MCG and waited most of my life for us to be a decent team but somehow they've found a way to make it unejoyable and our best year/flag year in another state as well lol.
It's strange, I guess there's a bit of expectation now with team so we want to be more than just competitive.

The bottom line is it's going to be a pretty bad crowd and us fans are going to cop it but the reality I see no reason for us to show up. I genuinely can't be bothered wasting my time and money to watch some s**t footy.

Need more supporters like this, stop going to unwatchable games, dont let ugly wins suck you back in. Youre paying money for entertainment and not being entertained.

 

[Toump Ass]

Fine then, I'll say it.

Ed's sister is an inconsiderate self-entitled arseh*le.

Plenty of my friends/family had important work commitments- teaching etc- to plan a party around. I did it. No one had to say "pass" when the plate was handed around because of their employment.

The entire Langdon family is selfish.

 

[Demon 16]

If nothing else, I’m anticipating a big effort from the team this week.

You would hope Sunday is sitting really badly with them and they’ll come out with some fire in the belly.

Dees by 4 goals!
