Fugly
McKenzie
McDonald - both can't kick
Second quarter

Dude, they are feral scum what do you expect? Watts took a clean mark in the 50. They boo him as he has a shot at goal? There's no need for that, what has he done that warrants booing? He took a mark in their 50.

Deadbeats.

Pretty much every set of opposition fans will boo someone has a shot on goal to try and put them off.

 

[Super Demon]

Our percentage is below 50. Wow.

Our next stop is the bottom of the ladder.

Our next stop is the bottom of the ladder.

GWS will snag one or two. We won't win a single game this season.

I think you mean that we won't win another game all season.

 

[mrmonkey]

Our percentage is below 50. Wow.

I was shocked that we managed 5 goals today. The root we take to goals is long and most the time we turn it over in the boundary line. If mark Neeld was a voice on those sat navs, a 20 minute trip would take you 2 hours. Or you would end up in a lake.

Garland

My man crush for him is huge* and he wears his heart on his sleeve and gives it his all week in and week out. Love him.

What happened to loading a forward line and moving fast?

 

[Pera]

I'm sure you guys are sick of opposition supporters coming onto your board after a loss but Garland deserves a heap of praise for the way he played Cloke. Took pride in his performance, and set a great example for the younger kids. Fantastic player.

Nathan Jones is a star and thought Trengrove showed some positive signs after a few down weeks.

All the best for the rest of the year, and beyond.

 

[AFL is Number One]

Good: Not getting beaten by 100

Bad : Losing by 83

Ugly : Season still has 11 rounds of pain to go.
Having a lower percentage than the GWS
Turnovers
Still tracking 100 fewer possessions than our opponents. We do this every week.
Barely 50000 crowd

 

[Biffinator]

The most talented youngster we've picked up last year, watch this space.

ps. If any of you want to continue this discussion tag me on the main board, I can sense Biff is just itching to banzor me

Yep

I can handle low scores if the boys are learning A defensive game. But the goals keep on coming. I'm sick of is getting the ball to the boundary only to see a Melbourne player having to run the ball because there is nothing up forward. Then the ball gets turned over on the arc.

We're always slowing the play down and kicking to a 50-50. We look half decent when we string a handball or two together, but then it all unravels again.

 

[mrmonkey]

Exactly we can look exciting but we just play a boring not even defensive game. A good example of blease breaking through only to turn it over in the forward line.

 

[Supermercado]

Good - it was only our 9th lowest score since 1990. Only good because in the third quarter we were looking at less than the record 2.8.20

Bad - See above

Fugly - Melbourne Football Club

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

Ugly: Completely patronising commentary towards the Dees, again the good ole "Their Grand Final Day". Makes me ill.

Super Ugly: Expecting to a different result after the 1st quarter, only to see it unfurl quicker than a pr0n star's undies.

 

[xxxWillxxx]

really bad to see dawes go off. good bloke, good player and was giving plenty today

 

[wowlace]

What's the low down with Dawes injury? I was at the game and didn't even realize he was injured. He was kicking the ball around with Tappy at halftime nekminit subbed.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Ugly: the Melbourne supporters who haven't made a peep in the row in front of us telling us to shut up because we were ruining the game for them. Jesus.

I've encountered far too many such morons in my life at various matches of different kinds mate.

People like that are a blight on the game. On any game, in any sport, for that matter.

You don't come to a match and expect you should be able to watch the game in silence as though you were at a movie or watching it on TV. That sort of idiocy is just cringeworthy beyond belief.

Need said a rolled ankel in the presser so should be good for the saints

[RandB]

Good: a boost to the republic movement.

Bad: everything else bar a couple of standout performances.

Fugly: its Groundhog Day

Isn't Jackson and a new board member (Freeman?) going to be chiming in on this though?

 

[jhong]

Good . Thought we played the way Neeld wants us to play in the first quarter from a physical point of view. We looked competitive given who was missing from our team.
Bad. Can't sustain it for more than a quarter, 2 at best this season .
Other teams just have to sit back a wait for the turn-over and kill us .
Honorable mention . (First quarter only)
@Garland, respect
@My boss , for not sacking me when i swore at the TV in the bar when Kennett was yapping on.
