[MC Gusto]

Come on saints

[miskycat]

Tinny arsed goal

[MC Gusto]

Man two quick ones get in front then run away with it

Here's a tip Richo get a message out to them
Protect the corridor at all costs

[SoopaSaint]

Any reason why Gresham is still on the ground... still being selected week in - week out..?

[SoopaSaint]

Get Grant Thomas back at the Club next year! Turn these 'boys' into MEN!

[Con Gorozidis]

Gilbert as Ruck has been one of the highlights of the season.
Gives us an extra man.

[SoopaSaint]

Just a word to the AFL - NONE of the umpires today will get the Grand Final this year! They either don't know the Rules... are too slow in their reaction time... or perhaps just plain incompetent?!

[ralphsmith]

Melbourne are absolutely s***.

Sad we were so crap in the 1st quarter.

[shrodes]

Just a wasteful season really

[Con Gorozidis]

Game over.

[miskycat]

Sad face again

[ralphsmith]

Game over, melbourne are s***.

Feels so embarassing to lose to this piece of s*** team.

That makes us "sh***er!"

[SoopaSaint]

There's another 3 hours of my life I'll never get back!

[The_Dud]

They have given us every chance to win this game, and we have absolutely stuffed it.

Time and time again they have gone harder than us. And surprisingly goal kicking has cost us another game, AGAIN!

[mullet]

There's another 3 hours of my life I'll never get back!

only been 2 hours 20mins

[The_Dud]

The fact that we've allowed them to have extra numbers in EVERY part of the ground is baffling. The only reason I can think of is our players aren't prepared to run, lazy.

[MC Gusto]

Game over season over

[Johnny Member]

Ok, here's a hypotehtiucal for you....

A lumbering ruckman and a midfielde are running towards the ball unopposed. They arrive at the ball at the same time.

Who picks it up?

A) The midfielder. Derr. That's his job you idiot.
B) The ruckman.
C) Neither. They both wait for the other to pick it up whilst a Melbourne player goes in a grabs it.

[miskycat]

Man, can't we a least show a bit of a pulse to finish it out?

[Teflon]

It happens time and again and we've not learnt in a decade.
Case in point: Gilbert screams towards goal in vital last Qtr .... limited pressure....result? Out on the full
Until we recruit players with composure and a commensurate skill level we are wasting our time
How often are we simply not good enough to take our chances while the opposition go down the other end and capitalise??

We are full of list cloggers with mediocre skill levels - lots of very good VFL types that's what we are.

[shrodes]

Sinclair is the smartest player we have

[David-Lee]

so are the coach, his assistants and the players still no good?

YES!

[ralphsmith]

Gilbert is a legacy player from the Clinton Jones/Andrew McQualter era.

Terrible foot skills but good fitness etc. The latter gets him a game.
