Quotes

...Jurrah on serious assault charges, a racism furore involving veteran Aaron Davey and the passing of beloved president and club legend Jim Stynes. "For those of us with emotional ties to the Melbourne Football Club, the past 10 weeks have been a downhill slide to the brink of despair, Sheahan writes in a column to be published on heraldsun.com.au and in the Herald Sun tomorrow. "I could employ words and expressions such as 'pathetic', 'disgusting', 'unacceptable' and 'mind-boggling', yet, as stark as they are, they aren't really adequate. "There's a sense of hopelessness this time, and hopeless is as low as it can ever get. "Neeld promised on arrival at Melbourne that his team would compete as fiercely as any in the competition this year. It hasn't." Sheahan, former chief football writer with the Herald Sun, contributes to the paper and is a commentator on Fox Footys On the Couch and 3AW."
..."You have to (take) a bit of pride in your performance as a footballer," he said on ABC radio. "It's a shame. Poor old Jim Stynes would be turning in his grave I'm sure, because the respect that they're losing on the football field and in the football environment is happening right in front of our eyes. "Every footballer, every journalist and everyone who sees the game will be saying that about the Melbourne Football Club. "I know they're trying to play defensive football, but honestly they don't know what their left hand and right hand are doing. "There is no leadership on the ground. I'd love to see someone run through and clean someone up and just show some bit of leadership. "I just can't get away, from the Melbourne perspective, that"
"I will be pretty much nervous, it is my first game back ... since the surgery last year."
