For a group of players to look so disinterested, be so soft, so utterly inept as professional sportsman for an entire game.....there's gotta be something going on, there HAS to be.



Agree, I just don't know what, but someone needs to stand up and stop the rot.

How dispirited did they look from the get-go? It's not like Essendon came out and went the knuckle or did anything out of the ordinary to put us off our collective game.....nup, just simply played limp from that very first bounce and didn't give a yelp all game. Reckon even the Bombers would've been surprised at the lack of resistance they were up against. Wasn't much different to the Eagles vs Demons contest from the week prior, except perhaps Melbourne showed a lot more ticker.

I wonder if MM rates his performance as deplorable like Roosy rated his own last week? Or is he just going to blame the players again?
Ignorance is bliss.

Malthouse fell into the trap Ratten did a few times when he believed the side was hard enough to drop players like McLean or make Bell sub. He found out in a big way that Robinson, Bell and McLean are required players until they bring better skilled hard nuts.
A midfield of Murphy, Curnow and Carrazzo is too small and too slow especially we're a man down after the tap.

Stop speaking BS. Mclean was hopeless under Ratts, when he finally showed something he wasn't dropped. Bell was injured for the majority of Ratts' last year and when he got a game towards the end of the year he stayed in the team. Quite simply, Ratten never made these errors himself. He as a far better coach.

I said players like, learn how to read. In Ratten's case he used to drop Robinson and by all rights he should have been dropped but then we were exposed by how soft we were.

When did he drop Robinson? Robbo was a heartbeat of the side under Ratts, has now gone backwards at the rate of knots.

Somewhere around 2010, we went through a bad patch after starting the season well. Backs to the wall I remember he brought back in Robbo and Ellard and we smashed the bombers.

Yeah don't remember it and it has zero relevance to the fact that MM is absolute crap and we made a huge mistake. No doubt you will back the dud coach to the hilt in order to try and save face. Cmon, tell us we're all wrong and it's all the players. Tell us how bad Ratten was and how it's all his fault. Can't wait to hear it.

Malthouse is one of the greatest coaches of all time and has won 51 finals and 3 flags. Ratten won 1 final and is now an assistant coach.

Let's not pretend this crap didn't happen under Ratten.

2012: Lost to the Crows by 69 points, Lost to lowly Port Adelaide by 54, Lost to Hawthorn by 50.

No, MM said he was not prepared for what the Bombers dished up. I take that as a partial confession that he got it wrong.
