Game night thread: Melbourne v Hawthorn

[Ned 156]

Hard to see th Dees winning a game this year. Shameful. I'm dubious about Neeld and Craig.

[Lifelong Demon 75]

What the? How was that not a mark?

[red and blue forever 1,059]

touched

[mrtwister 652]

I'm no idiot but I just do not understand the inconsistencies with HTB decisions these days.

[Lifelong Demon 75]

Ann. Didn't see it. Must be those wonderful contacts the umps are wearing.

[garyh007 112]

Mitchell just scored a touchdown....play on!!

Beautiful pass from McDonald... hit that Hawks player right on the chest directly in front.

[Still Waiting 94]

No good teaching game plans, direction of play, how to negate etc etc etc if we dont get the pill. And when we do get it, who can the whole club actually rely on, to deliver it in some positive manner to a team mate? Our disposal skills are the worst I have ever seen at AFL/VFL in over 40 years. Our ability to gut run are actually non existent. We need a shrink to get into our players minds to activate them. They look so lazy it hurts.

Surely the skills of Watts and Jurrah cant go astray amongst this lot!

This [censored] me off. He's taking his kick and Buddy hacks his arm as he's dropping it. Buddy was standing behind him. WTF?

[Ned 156]

I wonder what improvement Neeld will find in this flogging.

[double dee 27]

Looks like the team has no confidence in themselves, the coach or the game plan. No energy out there, no passion, no comradery. We look hopeless

[tonatopia 278]

This is as bad as I gets.

Yep, let's rest rioli, hodge, Gibson, turn it on for 20 minutes and then coast. This establishment is spiritless .

The McDonald curse.

[Range Rover 1,935]

No more umpire bashing. Please it's embarrassing.

[Buzzy 992]

Their skills aren't the problem, it's their men running off them that causes the issue and neither of them can tackle or get a hard ball. I don't think either of them would have helped us tonight in their current form.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

This game plan needs to come under scrutiny.

[Ned 156]

Lucky Hawthorn couldn't kick straight.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Simply put, how can other teams get so much cheap ball. Meanwhile whenever we have it, there are no options and we rely on someone pulling in a big pack mark or outworking a couple of opposition players at once, which is completely unsustainable.
