Just in defence of Harry McKay folks

As sad as I was I remember having a few laughs with friends and family at my Mum's funeral.
Don't take a ten second grab in a three hour telecast to mean anything at all.

Can you imagine one of the reserves laughing about that result within the vision of Leigh Matthews, Malthouse, the Scott's, Pagan, Roos or Parkin?

I realise times have changed, but seriously, what was the joke, an uncomfortable laugh, a Barrett moment!

We have no idea..so we shouldn't judge.
It might have been totally un-football related.
That he was caught on camera is unfortunate...but we cant possibly judge him without knowing the context.
I've been pretty miserable this afternoon but still managed a couple of laughs at different times.

It's football though, it's supposed to be the be all and end all of life. Smiling isn't allowed....lol!!!!!.

That is exactly what happens in the NFL Cookie! Thats where Free Agency comes from, say no more.....

Mate I've been a loyal supporter since 1970, I understand your grief exactly, but this game of today is all about the coach's job security, it stopped being about us, the supporters, about 15 years ago. So you may as well "jump on board" the next big thing.

UPDATE: Caleb Marchbank came off the field in the second half with a raised heartbeat. He will undergo testing this evening at hospital but is expected to be OK. The Club will provide further updates when they come to light.#AFLLionsBlues #BoundByBlue

I actually hope you're right.
The alternative is a bit concerning

Watching the match took me back to the thumping in Brisbane that ended the Pagan years. 

I just don't know what to think about the club anymore.  The 'hope' they have sold us members for the past 3 years is getting thinner every week. 

I get we are rock bottom.  We have a bunch of inexperienced draftees, some shop worn retreads and a sprinkling of veterans that are only OK at best.  Two genuine A graders are the only bright spots.  But to get belted by the 17th place team by 10 goals is finding rock bottom and digging further.

The biggest disappointment to me are the experienced players.  The likes of Murphy, Ed Curnow, Thomas, Wright, Kruezer and Rowe, however hard they may be trying seem incapable of organising their team mates, i.e. leading.  These are 10 year league level players.  We were cut up time and time again because we were utterly disorganised, allowing Beams, Zorko and Hodge open space.  We can blame the coaching all we like, but I cannot believe that it is a coaching issue.  It is a lack of discipline and leadership on the field that allows a team to play so poorly as a team. 

Just can't see myself bothering to attend any more games this year.

Unfortunately it could well be that old demon "a losing culture" setting in. If a team cannot produce a win occasionally the toll on the mental state of each player starts to wear them down. Just imagine getting nowhere whatever you may try to do?
