Game Day Thread

Am not impressed with effort, skill level or anything about our performance to be honest, but at the same time, I think some of you are getting a little carried away. Just last game you would have been singing our praises, a little perspective required.

That's the point though... We know the young blokes will be up and down but we back them and stand by them cos the endeavor is there and the footy knowledge is coming, but guys like Bruce, Miller, and even Green the last 2 weeks, should be leading the way.

We are still in with a chance of another spoon at this rate, only one win in the last 8 games. Aand st kilda next week.

[DeeZee 6,811]

Mark my words.

Tigers and Crows will overtake us, maybe even Eagles.

We will finish bottom 2 this year again no worries.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

How many times are we going to put ourselves under pressure in the Backline? Why would you kick the ball backwards to a player under pressure on the goal line. This is one of the worst performances I've seen from a Melbourne side for 10 years, we are being humiliated. The players can't hold their feet, Watts being one and he looks like he is going to be a fringe player at best he just can't get rid of the ball quickly enough he has all the awareness of Bell and is one of the most disappointing number one draft picks I have ever seen. I've been patient with him but no more he has to show something but so far there is nothing that makes me excited.

Jones has to learn, preferably at Casey, that you don't have to take the hard option every time and you can run forward with the ball or at least pass it off before you get tackled. We have also shown that if Jamar gets beaten we are in big trouble.

Davey, Beamer, Green, Morton, Bruce, Miller it's time to step up or wear the tag of soft under pressure deservedly.

Personally if I was coaching I would have kept them on the ground at half time and said one thing, think about your pathetic effort in the first half all of you. That would be embarrassing to them as they were laughed at by the Crows fans. It might be a message well learnt.

Even at half time I'm sure they'd find ways to turn it over

[Jerry Lundergard 390]

I know it won't happen, but the retractions(myself included), will be pretty funny if we get up in the second half.

[Redleg 37,953]

Probably, but as the clearances show they only get it 4 out of every 25 times.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Thank god for Brad Green.

[Dan005 23]

Is it just me or is Dwayne Russell the commentator such a moron 'we have a game again!' sheesh

[Jastone 2]

Grimes in the midfield, i like it.

[DeeZee 6,811]

Rivers not even a shadow of his former self.

Footballs equivelant to a one hit wonder. ( one season wonder)

[praha 10,329]

lol we're making Adelaide actually look like a good team.

[Tony Tea 2,792]

Pat Garret and Billy the Kid has a sensational cast: James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson, Richard Jaeckel, Katy Jurado, Chill Wills, Barry Sullivan, Jason Robards, Bob Dylan, R.G. Armstrong, John Beck, Matt Clark, Jack Elam, Paul Fix, L.Q. Jones, Slim Pickens, Charles Martin Smith, Harry Dean Stanton, Rutanya Alda, Elisha Cook Jr., Dub Taylor, Bruce Dern.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

They need to bring in a new stat, the number of times a player slips over. Melbourne would be killing it.

[wisedog 329]

DEES BOOT THE LAST 3!

We're 33 points down...

Edited June 27, 2010 by wisedog

[Eth 4]

Back to 33 points :D

[nath 0]

Watching Might ducks on 7two. Should I turn it back?

[praha 10,329]

Davey continues to prove why he is just not up to scratch to be out captain. We cannot have a captain that can't shake a tag. Continues to go missing when we need it, and has brain snaps too often.

[praha 10,329]

"Trengove does the ruckwork for Melbourne"

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I've invented a new drinking game, drink every time Danny Frawley says "frontal pressure". The last time I checked it's exactly the same as "forward pressure".

[praha 10,329]

Good goal!

[praha 10,329]

Damn it, my stream is dead.

Anyone have a link to a stream for the game?

[Jastone 2]

Good goal by Dunn. C'mon Dees!

[stuie 7,374]

might just tune out til the 3rd quarter when we play well for 20 mins before eventually losing the same way again...

hmmmmm......
