Totally agree with this. Jamar has been completely outclassed two weeks in a row - hard to create anything when we never get first use. Our backs are constantly under pressure. It starts with the ruck

Someone mentioned during the course of the game that Jamar reminded him of the bag that the coaches hold for the ruckman to practice sticking his knee into it and tapping down to the runners. Ryder leapt higher palmed well - Jamar didnt even 50/50 a ruck contest. You are gonna get killed everytime if you allow that much first hand so clearly to the ball. It was training drill stuff.

Choco Royal, more like a melted After Dinner Mint at best. Time to give him the Scotch Finger.

An observation I had that had me yelling at the TV was that our players were continually on there own in a bit of space forward or back while essendon ran round into the areas between them often in numbers so they could do what they wanted. our blokes were flat footed and static while essendon were mobile. even around a pack our blokes were waiting for the ball to come to them and were flatfooted when it did Essndon were moving around so that wherever it came they were able to benefit.

Probably just selective viewing and memory but it sure was frustrating.

That has been Melbourne for the last 50 years (almost)

Witches hats, for the opposition to run around.

Nothing changes, even at training the practice kicking to stationary targets.

No wonder we are stationary n game day.
