    Where is the melbourne members light at the end of the tunnel?

    Toumpas and Vineys potential. Pretty slim hope. My head would have exploded by now.

      It is dim. Hogan is another light.

      You would seriously have to wonder.

          5 goals scored. 83 point loss.

          AFL do something ASAP.

            Why?
            They're terrible. It's their fault. Tough.

              There's a sadistic side of me enjoying it. Massive difference in what happens when you put a kid into a good team v a struggling one, Ben Kennedy really outplayed Toumpas which you cant blame him for.

                We scored 4.4 in Round 4. They're terrible, the worm will turn.

                  Saw Trengrove trying to rev up his troops as captain. Massive ask / mistake to pick a kid. Another thing we have done differently.

                    They've been 1 win from 10 starts, four out of the last six years.... The worm is dead.

                    Either prop them up, or relocate them to Tassie. Status quo is not working and there must be new thinking.

                      It was an appointment smacking of desperation to keep a kid after Scully bolted. Always was going to be risky.

                        AFL will prop them up financially if required, they can sort the rest out themselves. If their supporters have to wait 5 years for them to be competitive then they have to wait 5 years. We aren't that far ahead of them, let's not get too histrionic. Only 13 years since they made a GF, 39 years more recently than us.
                        Plus we need to keep Tassie free to move GWS to in 5 years.

                          Why the attack? Let them be. Discussion about their plight is fine but you are sounding like Jeff Kennett. The wheel will turn.

                            Did anyone see Sylvia spray young Fitzpatrick unmercifully?
                            Dees looked up for a fight early on, then Collingwood woke up.

                              No attack here. I just think the she'll be right thinking hasn't worked and its time for a discussion on what more needs to be done. I'd hate to see them suffer needlessly or fold etc because of inaction.

                                Agree. We shouldn't be lecturing on finances or success to be honest.
