I haven't posted for quite some time.
The Essada debacle and our performances have given me the shits

I held off renewing 4, 15 year memberships this season. After last night I no longer feel guilty for doing so.
I have a Sportsbet account and regularily bet against us, and am happy when we lose, as its easy money... and that is @#$%&! WRONG!!!

It looked like our whole team was on the punt last night

My first game, too. I left my $405 ticket with my mate in the third quarter and wandered home. Not sure what he did with it. Don't care.

A lot was made about them having 12 players with less than 50 games
We had 9
Still no excuse they all do their job and they know what that job is

That might be true, but if you don't play for each other then the coach is irrelevant.

So, out of 20 quarters of footy this year, we've played about 5 decent ones.

And really, that's been against only so-so teams.

As a combined effort that was the worst coaching exhibition and worst playing exhibition imaginable. We've played our best footy under MM when we've had a positive game plan, number more forward of the ball hence allow some run deep into the 50. like late last year. That way we have options, with run we create space meaning skills are better. With more numbers forward we can apply alot more pressure in our forward 50. I know it was St.Kilda last week but we did that and duly got the rewards with run and pressure in our forward 50.

I still remember the last qtr, murphy get the ball and running, looking up from the half back flanl and actually saw nothing in front of him. Like WTF is that game plan. It's not an excuse, and never should be, but no wonder players get demoralised and give up. good coaches coach to the players strengths.

Ratten did well at Carlton because he had a game plan that played to our strengths, even with an average list. There were flaws in it but at least the players were committed, happy with it and payed for each other. That's always the start.

How about they bust a gut for us, the deluded souls that week in week out make the effort both financially and mentally to support these selfish pretenders?

Very good point. I get the feeling that he is trying to get us to do things in which we simply aren't capable. Ratten did just let us run. IMO would never have won a flag or developed a better list but he did play them to their strengths.

Malthouse has tried to develop a harder more defensive edge and our group simply hasn't handled it.

and at this point, this is where MM's stubbornness and set in his ways attitude, is his final downfall.

So, was anyone here lucky enough to be sitting in M15 Row E?

Yes, and even if he never would won a flag you set the stage for the right coach to go the next step. Hinkley would've been a coach that would've suited us no end. play a side to their strengths and you're at least half way there.

When Malhouse has left us run and play a more positive game plan we are an entirely different side. We've seen that many times like late last season on in games over 3 years where he's just thrown caution to the wind and said just run. When that's happened he's transformed the side instantaneously, hence some of the great come from behind fightbacks.

All I could think was how lucky it was the fireworks went off at that exact location. Amazing coincidence.

So we have:
3 players from Pick #1
2 players from Pick #2
1 players from Pick #3

We under the most under achieved club in the league.
Boy did we [REDACTED] up bad!

Been saying that during his development years under Ratten.
But Ratts never dropped him.

I mentioned this elsewhere, if I was Ellard, Rowe, Curnow, Bell, Wood, Warnock, Whiley, Everitt, Jones, Tutt and Dick I'd love the coach too, MM is keeping them employed where 17 other clubs wouldn't.

The club does not get it. These fireworks and lights really give me the shits. I wounding give a flying toss about all the hooha.

All I want is improvement and players cracking in busting there guts.

All talk. Our coach takes no responsibility. He is lost, does not know what to do anymore. BUT he is a stubborn old man, and would never give up, and that is a worry cause we are stuck with him till at least to the end of the year.

Our president seems stubborn too, as he does not want to admit he was part of a wrong decision to get Malthouse, so he comes out and says 'we honour contract here'. What a load of s{}^!

I am ropable with this club right now, more so than the Crappy crappy Pagan years, as i don't how we can fix this without really getting rid of everyone, from board, to coaches and some of these lazy players we have bottomed out for. Looking at you Gibbs, Murphy, Walker.

For the champion that Judd is and I admire him so much. Even he does not bother to tackle and run both ways. Nonone should be exempt here, and we have many many passengers.

The c,us fed us a bunch of bullshit in the off season, and I am finally sick of it.

Last night there was no atmosphere at the game, despite all the light extravaganza. I just don't get the excited butterflies before a game anymore.

They are insipid,and lack the pride I associate with this once great club. A shell.

GWS, Melbourne, Bulldogs and St Kilda will or are already past us.

We are at the lowest ebe possible. Maybe it's a good thing, someone has to care to do something.

Right?
