Toast How can this Melbourne side be stopped?

[the hypnotoad]

They're probably talented enough, and healthy enough to win it anyway. But this sort of crap does show a lack of hunger.

more like complacency ... even arrogance

and arrogance is hard to fathom in a club that had such a long record of disappointment and failure to live up to expectations
again, it remains to be seen ...

I remember absolutely nothing of the sort.

 

[Pessimistic]

Maybe more than 4 out of 12 opponents in the top 8?

From within

UPDATE: Banned Dee's apology after boozy 'scuffle' with teammate

Steven May and Jake Melksham were involved in a scuffle in Prahran on Sunday night

Brian Lake and partner spending a night in Portsea lock-up in Jan 2013 de-railed the hawks train…..oh wait.

You mean premiership teams can lose games without an afl led umpiring conspiracy to stifle your game plan?

Yeah I’m not one of those.

The actual May incident whilst not a good optic can still be smoothed over very quickly within the club.

The bigger issues that need to be sorted out are:

• fix the forward line…it is problem this season irrespective of their wins
• fix the attitude of the players. There were a number of incidents during the Swans game that were not aligned to last years team first ethos. Who was that bloke who lined up for goal from 60 out? Was that Petracca? I may be wrong but whoever it was, that would not have happened last year. IMO.

100% this. Such a stain club.

May in June is having a good crack at it.

Not going to lie, I had a proper chuckle when I saw this license plate on the way home from work this afternoon.

wowzers

 

[Xtreme]

Melbourne's own egos will see them self implode and potentially finish like Richmond in 2021 - completely out of finals!

 

[Pessimistic]

May is important, but could have had a king brother for the pick…then got a KPD instead of Benny brown

Still they won a flag

 

[Rod Stroker]

This is how they can be stopped

Winter wonderland: Victorian Alps blanketed with most early snow in 22 years

Victoria’s ski fields are covered in the most early-season snow in decades, with pandemic-hit snow resorts hopeful the heavy falls signal a longer season.

Not fully sure what be you're saying, but Melbourne doesn't win the premiership last year without Steven May.

I'd imagine they were both pretty pissed and banter was going on between them, maybe a bit of back and forth all night and there was something that pushed it a bit far for one of them, then it escalates. Alcohol has a knack of exacerbating things that might otherwise be laughed off or have some stern words then it's over.

Its the forward line that is the issue at the moment, but it was also an issue for a lot of last year as well

If that person deliberately got those plates then kudos to them lol

They got them in 2010, that’s all they wanted for the past decade.

For all the chest-beating about Melbourne's lack of crowds in here and other threads (my favourite of which has come from St Kilda and The Western fans):

Is this the first season ever where WCE have been out-attended by little bro Freo?

 

[RonnieRaven]

Fremantle and west coast started the year with crowd limits otherwise they would be higher.

If you plot that as a ratio against number of members, Melbourne would be right up the top.

It’s because Melbourne’s the premier and apparently everyone should flock to watch them.

 

[mfcrox]

All the hate in here for Melbourne... and I'll say, I don't blame you guys. Some of our supporters are absolute flogs reading through this. Carrying on like we playing for our 5th premiership in a row or something.

That said... still think we will be fine.

Except those numbers don’t include Rd 12 home games. It’s wrong, although Melbourne only reduce slightly with 32k on Saturday, Freo increase a bit with 47k at home.
