Game Day

[Chook 15,022]

Lucky to be as close as we are. My man Jones keeping us in it. As I thought, we just have no idea how to find a mark inside 50. Tommy Mac should have been dropped last week, and we're paying the penalty for it now. Bate is really becoming an important player for us, IMO. Neeld is getting the best out of him.

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

Jones by far our best so far.

[P-man 13,366]

Scrappy stuff but the effort is there. Three more quarters of that thanks.

Jones and Rivers are keeping us in this, while McDonald is keeping them in front.

I can live with this. Morton ok, Watts needs to more. Multiple times we ignore the centering kick to a free man in the corridor. MUST be instructions to help learn the plan. Watts keeps presenting in the corridor, gets ignored and if there's a turnover, his man is free.

Tom McDonald has absolutely no idea. Plays the man way too much because he runs off him and then gets caught out. Not a fan.

how many games has he played?

[Chook 15,022]

It seems to me that Jack Watts never runs flat chat, yet the commentators reckon he comes off for a rest looking absolutely spent. Therefore, it's obvious that so many of our problems stem from our pathetic fitness (thanks DB).

[Chook 15,022]

how many games has he played?

Not many, but I've played even fewer. If I can see his problems, surely he should be able to see them too.

[hardtack 10,627]

Jones is doing this single handedly!

[Chook 15,022]

NATHAN FRICKEN' JONES!!!!!

[Chook 15,022]

What a wasted opportunity.

[hardtack 10,627]

They are looking good tonight... lots of good pressure in the forward line. And for those who were saying Jones will never be anything more than a C or B grade player, I think his showing in the first four rounds is showing he is very capable of stepping up to be an A grader once the rest of the team catches up with him.

Great forward pressure!

[Chook 15,022]

Great goal created by Grimesy. But Nathan Jones is doing things I haven't seen a Melbourne player do in a long time. He's still really young and could still go up another level.

wet weather is hurting us

[Juicebox 628]

Dropping simple marks. Giving away silly free kicks. I know it's wet, but this silly little mistakes are stopping us from really getting a run on the aints

[Chook 15,022]

Who says Bails is no good? Great stoppage goal.

[Footynut 302]

Bail Bail Bail!!!

[hardtack 10,627]

Even Joel MacDonald is doing good things tonight.

[Chook 15,022]

I'm seeing Morton closer to the packs than ever before. He's learning how to play as an outside player but not so outside that he's useless when we don't get the ball. Repaying the faith a little.

[hardtack 10,627]

Finally we are getting free kicks because we are actually going in first for the ball!!

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Davey!!!!

[Chook 15,022]

Davey winding back the clock with a goal from some awesome tackling pressure.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Geez we are really having a dip 2night....

[Footynut 302]

Great stuff Dees!!! Go go!!
