GAMEDAY - ROUND 5

Featured Replies

 

Not bad so far. We tightened up a little in defense at the end but a fair bit of work to do in that area. I just want an honest contest and I will be happy.

in some ways i agree with leigh - we want him to play deep forward.

problem is we also want him to be the release kick from the half-back to wing!

The problem is Howe is good in the air, good on the ground, has good disposal and now is a good kick for goal.

We need him deep forward, we need him upfield, we need 18 clones of him!

 

Some pretty poor comments on this thread at the moment

Boys need to win some clearances though - playing ok hope they can keep it up

I must admit I am not a fan currently of the our defensive zone - seems to be easily beaten


Frawley is probably the worst decision maker in the league.

He has a few mates named terlich and Mcdonald

Clearances are our biggest weakness if we keep possession of the footy we could win. It's a wide open game gotta keep running

 

Watts getting annihilated

Tommy Mc is down on confidence, no doubt.


This defensive zone stuff is terrible.

Tommy Mc is down on confidence, no doubt.

so is watts ran past the contest because he miss timed it by not committing to the obvious airiel body contact.. dumb footy because he didn't want to make contact.

Dear Jordie Mc, please watch the footy occasionally.

when Dawes,Clark and Hogan get on the field together it will free Howe up to play upfield

 

Lions could put us to the sword but ain't.

Their kicking is really letting off our rubbish zone defence.

  • 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.
