Making Michie a scapegoat is ridiculous. He was the least of our problems today, and it's fanciful to think Harmes would've been much better. Has turned the ball over repeatedly for three weeks running. His form didn't warrant keeping his spot.
That'd be fine, but youth doesn't go hand in hand with effortFriendly reminder that we were the youngest team in the comp this week - average age of 23.0, average games played 61.0.
It's been that way for almost every round of this season and it's why I tend to get over our losses pretty quickly. It's a shame that we have these poor games but there really is just only upside for us.

And it wasn't our youth who let us down the most today

Yeah but we didn't have to be. The selections this week were unwarranted. Should have been pedo, Harmes and kennedy instead of weed, Michie and ANB.Friendly reminder that we were the youngest team in the comp this week - average age of 23.0, average games played 61.0.

25 yrs 6 mthWhat were Carlton's averages?
NOBODY condemned the selections when they were announced but there have been so many saying shoulda this shoulda that. Hindsight is a beautiful thing. Today was shithouse and it won't be the last. Carlton are a tough side, I'm not surprised at all. 100% thought that we were more likely to lose to Carlton than Geelong, it's the dees.
It's frustrating but this fair weather supporter s**t is rife amongst Melbourne supporters. It's a young side and the frustrations are far from over but the upside is so great for the next couple of years. Hang the negativity veils up, they are so 2012

Being frustrated and doing a total 180 on your opinion of things within a week are very different. the forums were full of people polishing Paul Roos' and within a week they are bagging him like he has served a Ross lyonesque season. If you don't believe you're the type of fickle supporter that gives the club the bad name it has, you have your head up your buddies behinds.Negative? Medical School Whooooooooo? The apprentice??
Personally Id say its more frustration and if you dont believe every clubs supporters get frustrated you have your head up your arse. (Much like the doctor). We here are no different to any other clubs supporters in times of disappointment, we have just had to put up with more of it than anyone else.
I do recall a few of us saying WTF when certain players were brought in this week. Sure we might not have gone on about it like a few of us today, but we hadnt lost to Carlton on Friday night either.
I was angry/annoyed. I also wasn't surprised. Nobody likes a fair weather supporter. If weid came out and kicked another 2 as he did on debut everyone would be praising the selection. Michie has been killing it in the VFL as many pointed out and were excited about. He rarely turns up in the seniors.If you're not angry/annoyed after a loss and willing to discuss the negatives, you're doing it wrong
This wasn't a loss to be positive about
Also many people questioned the selections, you not reading them doesn't mean it didn't happen (even my partner questioned them, Weid coming back with no VFL game time off an 'injury' ANB and Michie coming in when the outs did not match their playing style at all)

you don't fly in the face of popular opinion, that's the problem. Melbourne supporters need someone to blame. NOBODY is immune from having the occasional shocker. Problem for me is that they actually start questioning Paul Roos.Please show me proof of my opinion on anything changing. If you knew me, which clearly you dont, you would know i stick to my guns, happy to fly in the face of popular opinion..
Life isnt all rainbows and butterflies, if you cant handle some criticism from time to time, thats your problem not mine, ill happily and have given plaudits to many at the club this year including Roos, but that doesnt mean he is immune from making the occasional shocker now and then though. Ive put money into the club for 15 years, i wont stop having my say on things on big footy just to please you, sorry.
Yeah, i'm with the other poster, can you show me proof of me changing my opinionI was angry/annoyed. I also wasn't surprised. Nobody likes a fair weather supporter.

It was an uncharacteristicly bad day for many players.
If you were so against the selections you could've written a letter to the board mid week expressing your concerns and then your ideas might've held some weight but you wait until they lost and then flew in with the rest of the captain hindsight brigade pointing fingers.
So the crux of your argument is "I have no idea of your posting history, and i'm not going to check, but i'm going to accuse you of doing things"you don't fly in the face of popular opinion, that's the problem. Melbourne supporters need someone to blame. NOBODY is immune from having the occasional shocker. Problem for me is that they actually start questioning Paul Roos.
If anyone had THAT much of a problem with selection they would've made more of a fuss prior to the game starting.
You're not that important mate so I'm not going to start looking for evidence against you or whatever because I never said anything against you personally before you started comparing me to others and saying I had my head up my arse.
