The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good

Jones.

Stef Martin.

Matthew Bate.

Our physical effort (with some horrible exceptions)

The Bad

Ability to keep it inside our forward 50

Our handball to a close, stationary target, where a Hawks player swoops in on the run and they carry it forward with ease.

Hawthorn's uncontested possession count.

Brad Green has to stop flying for marks that spoil his team mates clear advantage in a marking contest.

The Ugly

Fumbling. Even the smooth, efficient kills of Trengove were fumbly today.

Unforced turnovers. Maric did a shocker on the southern half forward line near the boundary but there were many of these.

Marking targets inside 50

    Good was me tossing the coin.

    Bad was everything after the toss of the coin.

    Ugly was Garland being out bodied by rioli!

    Our physical effort (with some horrible exceptions) I think these can be put down to Fitness, maturity & desire.

    Brad Green has to stop flying for marks that spoil his team mates clear advantage in a marking contest. I think todays ability or lack of, was through tiredness & some lesser Ins:

    Marking targets inside 50 Trenners looked out of sorts and can only imagine its after a hard week in Darwin. Maric needs to be a lot fitter, engine wise. 2 inside 50 players aren't currently up to it.

    Ugly -the reverse goal given against us (effectively 2 goals) Most openly ridiculed by all commentators.

    The start-again ,Get the smelling salts out and get them to slap each other in the face before running out or the other team will .(5 goals) and get an espresso machine down there .3 doubles each then go get em .

    The match-ups .Garland on Rioli was ridiculous. (3-6 goals)

    Bad

    Gysberts cannot run out 4 quarters yet .

    Green-bad year -needs a run on the ball or behind it .

    The obvious four champs killed us from Hawthorn

    Ball handling and disposal apart from Howe ,Nicholson and Petterd

    Good

    Bates having a dip

    The rise and rise of Stef

    Lord Howe

    We dont have to pay Col half a mill a year for already costly ,consistent turnovers .

    The Good

    Cadel winning the TDF

    The Bad

    Knowing what the result would be 10mins in

    The Ugly

    My complete apathy after 10mins towards the game

    Goddamn, I am sick of these losses.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
