GAME DAY

[Samsara 65]

Davey goals, needed that.

We seem to be getting smashed in clearances. Something we need to work on considerably.

[mdemonski2 403]

Hawks kick fourth unanswered goal to lead 60 to 49. Looks all over the way were playing.

chill mate. long way to got yet...better still watch the game feed with a glass of red!

[Jaded No More 68,973]

It's hard to know what is going on when you're not watching the game, but the midfield really does concern me.

With the exception of Trengove, what else will change for Round 1?

We don't seem to be able to win many contested ball, if at all, and that is a real worry.

[Demon Rob 2]

gee anyone would think you guys think this is a serious match! relax

[Samsara 65]

Another goal to Hawks. All Hawks this quarter. Bleh.

[Jaded No More 68,973]

I think everyone is pretty relaxed, but a 6 goal turnaround in under a quarter is a concern no matter how serious a game is.

[Sir Why You Little 37,124]

Chill Guys...it's a practise game...

ANY INJURIES??

[Redleg 41,421]

Sounding like our forwards are dropping everything and we are relying on crumbers for our goals. Looking like a fairly flat pre season.

[Samsara 65]

Three quarter time:

Melbourne 9.2.56 to Hawthorn 11.9.75

[deejammin' 2,373]

This game is still up for grabs, we have played one bad stretch, grab a couple in a row and we're a chance. Would be more encouraging to have the dees winning some clearances tho...

exactly what I'm doing... actually its more like a bottle now (thank you Peter Lehmann for lovely shiraz grenache combo....)

[Juicebox 628]

Hawks have had about twice as many shots on goals.

FFS are we getting smashed in the inside 50s once again?!

[pringle 42]

The most concerning thing is the disparity in scoring shots. Could have been much worse.

Ok folks ... final quarter now under way

Hawks win the ball out of middle ... David Hale wins the ball and takes the mark - will line up for goal

I am going to bed...

This is not an attack on either of the posters but in all honesty, i'm sickened by that attitude. Of course I see where you're coming from and no it's not a real game but we haven't won a single match yet... We played Brisbane, and haven't won a single match. And so help me God if anyone brings up those "games" in Adelaide I may lose it. They weren't real matches and the game against the Crows was lost by the Crows not won by Melbourne. I agree with all the propaganda... it's time to show something.

Great first half Dees, good luck for the 4th qtr.

[wonnabeeri 277]

This is one of our usual games where we go from competitive to a 45 point loss in a 1/4 of football. Disappointing.

[wonnabeeri 277]

Of course I see where you're coming from and no it's not a real game but we haven't won a single match yet... We played Brisbane, and haven't won a single match.

Um, round 1 of the nab cup anyone? Adelaide and PA in adelaide. Short memory.

Penfolds Koonunga Hill here

Cheers chums lol

( and they call us Stereotyped! )

Agreed.

Double the amount of scoring shots by the Hawks. Not good at all.

I am the feeling a bit the same. They might be only practise matches, but we still cannot seem to win.

[The Great One 99 125]

Sounds like our forward setup or the delivery is letting us down badly. Is Petterd on the ground? Have not heard him mentioned at all.

Short memory? Not so much. Short attention span? Very much yours. Read the rest of a post before commenting on it.

[Red Sox 2]

Obvious to say we miss Frawley down there.
