Melbourne v Fremantle

[The HuLK 139]

really happy with our defence so far.. just in the 2 quarter i dont think our midfield pushed hard enough.. They need to learn how to gut run... aka BEN COUSINS!!!

[NO MERGER 20]

Ran into Brock McLean this morning while having lunch in Moonee Ponds, he was having lunch with family. Still on crutches and leg all strapped up, I wished him well for next season.

He obviously isn't in Perth today, and doubt Robbo will be there either (still on crutches no doubt).

Without McLean, Green and Moloney not there a guy like Jones can't handle the extra pressure yet. Need him to step up in the middle and win us a few clearances in the third quarter!

2nd term was pathetic but there is still a half of footy left!

Agreed they are a very young list.. There just doing really basic mistakes, which u would expect off under 10`s. But there giving it a crack which is all we can ask1

6.9.45 freo

7.4.46 melb

2 to Miller... So good to seem him kicking goals

[The HuLK 139]

boys arnt running hard... gee cant wait for morton 2 get some muscle behind him. Gana be a superstar..We look so much lighter than them.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

They are running the ball far too easily out of defence. No pressure at all. Thankfully Freo can't kick straight. Apart from Miller our forwards an ineffectual today.

[The HuLK 139]

Where`s Juice???? Injuried or... Even know the ball isnt getting down there, havn`t seen him...

[Cards13 9,117]

Only 2 players at Melb have played every game this season.... Jones and Bruce.....

God the radio sounds terrible!!! Turn over turn over turn oer goal goal goal FARK

We can't get the ball past the centre at the moment. Turnover city. Just as I write this we turn it over again and, yep, it's Buckley. Learn how to kick.

He can kick the ball, its our midfield..... making our defence under so much pressure!!!!!

Bloody hell.... Martin holding ball in Freo FF 50

[Cards13 9,117]

Oh and how is Robbie Warnock playing for Freo? Is he beating Jamar?

[Wiseblood 24,637]

And again the Dockers run the ball out of our forwardline FAR too easily. How could we go from such a fantastic first quarter to this?

[The HuLK 139]

Hrmmmmm senior players please stand up!! younger players well done.. Juice for the bin.

[Jaded No More 68,906]

This is only the third time this season that I feel utterly ashamed of our performance.

Apart from Miller who is working his arse off, our players are lazy and generally just don't care.

And how many goals can Wheatley cost us with his turnovers before somebody drags him off the ground?!!!

Not winning is one thing, playing like we are at the moment is completely unacceptable.

P.S.- awesome leadership from Bruce out there

[Mono 455]

Kinda hoped that a modest loss at worst would have us off the bottom. Don't think so

1 out of last 12 goals!! Doesn't get much worse. :angry:

[DeeM 42]

This could be bad

OR good

Depends if you want draft picks or wins

[Tony Tea 2,809]

Serious question: Have we had a free since the 1st quarter?

Especially after the strides we have made over the last month. Freo are rubbish. Absolute rubbish. And we have rolled over and let them run all over us for 2 quarters. I think a summer working on our skills is ahead for the boys. We can't keep turning it over like this.

[Chook 15,012]

Where's Yze_Magic when you need him?

[DemonDave 1,089]

So many players just butchered the ball that quarter, disgraceful effort. Morton and Sylvia two of the chief suspects. Our leading forwards apart from Miller were absymal, Juice has had about 3 touches for the game, Aussie not many more.

And that holding the ball against Martin was a disgrace, notice Jakovich said it was a good decision, no surprises there, nor did he have much to say when it was obvious Sandilands had dropped that mark inside 50.

Geez, its gonna be a long plane flight home for these boys...

I want draft picks, but the way we're playing today no amount of early picks is going to help us.

Draft picks don't make you accountable for your man, don't enable you to hit targets, and sure as hell doesn't make you play with more desire.

We only have 3 senior players out there today, and not one of them has stood up and done anything worth mentioning. Without McLean in the middle, Green down back and with Miller not getting any delivery up forward (having to run into the centre to try and provide an option), there's little wonder we're falling apart.

And for the love of god, would someone PLEASE teach Bate to play below his knees!!!
