Roos: when I depart I'll be handing over a list ready to win a premiership...

Goodwin: When I come in, I will run it into the ground...

31. Five years ago yes but not now. Should be a one jumper player for me.

They look dispirited. Hard to come back from here.

 

[George]

Absolute rubbish again from Melbourne. They might be the most unfit team in the entire competition. Two goals after quarter time. Top 5 players for run all Richmond.

 

[VDS66]

Are they the ones that cancelled the preseason camp because it was too hard?

Yeap

Speaking of drinking your own bath water.
How does it taste?

Ambrosia?
A well structured Margaret River Red?
XXXX Lite?

Asking for a friend.

 

[SaintersUnite]

Bachar Houli is a very well spoken person, great interview with Holmes.

Melbourne are a rabble at the moment. The effort was there in the first quarter, then it seemed to fade as the game went on. They have literally nothing up forward. Weiderman did nothing and McDonald was back in defence.

Ever seen Austin powers? Tastes nutty

Melbourne's board is exactly like ours was last year. Already got the sack the coach thread and started talking about the draft.

Fair call from Grace.

Brereton said last weekend that they were down hill skiers - reckon he is spot on.

They don't run hard enough defensively, they expect someone else to do it for them. There's no talk - countless times I saw them all running for the ball carrier instead of some of them dropping back so there wasn't any overlap if they didn't win the ball. We smashed them in that area last week. They all went to whoever one of us had the ball and we'd just cut them open with the switch and just the general attacking nature of our play from the back half.

Viney beaten by an 18 year old kid. Five youngest players on the ground were all Richmond.

It was an embarrassing effort tonight on such a big occasion. Probably worse than their performance against us last weekend.

 

[VDS66]

My god we stuffed up with Paddy, but we made the right call on Petracca, an arrogant FIGJAM who is an out an out spud.

The only good thing about Petracca is his mum IMO

They are all so out of form. Gawn still stacks up as one of the better ruckman going around but gee he’s lacking intensity. Suddenly Lewis, Jones & Viney look old, slow & banger up! No structure, no passion. Lifeless.

Pre-season Dees were touted as premiership favourites based on last year.
They made finals having defeated very few teams in the top 8 from what I remember.
They did play two very good finals but were thumped in the prelim.
A case of being completely overrated by the media and the believing of their publicity I think.

Houli is a very good player. Norm Smith for me in their premiership year.

Haven’t they just re-signed Goodwin for another couple?

Sounds like they need Brett Ratten

Bite your tongue!

Fox Footy showing EXACTLY what I just wrote about - absolutely stupid to have half a dozen players attacking the ball and leaving opposition players in open space.

 

[my name was taken]

Lol melbourne. They are cooked. Their fans on their board became insufferable making finals once, so have no sympathy for them what so ever.

I can't get over how bad their defence is. It's almost as though they don't have a plan at all.

Apparently 16 players had surgery and interrupted preseasons. They look like it has killed their run and intensity. They look bottom 4 tonight, I reckon we did to them what North did to us last year. We just stuck a nail in their hearts. I prefer my Dees mates to my Tigers mates still, I actually feel sorry for them, they have sucked so bad so long and as much as the thought of them being better than us was awful, I only wanted them to suck a bit worse than us, not s**t the bed.

They did it last week and it was spoken about numerous times on different media. You would think that's one thing they'd be able to fix in a week.

 

[BrutThough]

Dees team is full of selfish footballers who all want to be on the highlight reel instead of doing the hard work.
