Melbourne v Western Bulldogs @ Eureka Stadium Ballarat - 14th March, 2015

[The Devil Inside 2,147]

Someone said to me during the week that MFC supporters are the biggest bunch of whiners in the AFL. Hard to dispute with some of the comments in this thread. Nate, Tyson, Grimes, Salem, Jetta, Toumpas are running and using the ball well. Our forward set up looks well balanced and dare I say it dangerous with JKH and Jeffy at the big fellas feet. You can only beat what's in front of you. Hoping we put our foot down on their throat in the second half.

That would probably be me, having to 'watch' the game through here, radio and stream because of other commitments

Yes the Dogs are below strength, so Roos message will be to stick to game plan and methods and hopefully smash them

I am getting a mixed bag, but common themes are forward set up is looking good and ball movement has improved, if you can hit a team mate who is open, it doesn't matter who the opposition are, you are practicing getting open

bummer nice handball from watts there

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Honestly, how could anyone possibly complain, I know they are under strength (still M.Boyd, Minson, Morris, Bontempelli etc.), but we are absolutely killing them and ball use is very good, especially considering windy conditions. Some people will never be happy.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Newton is still playing.

VDB subbed?

[Dommygun12 79]

really liking the ball movement

[deanox 10,025]

This quarter will be telling for me.

We have smashed them in the first half and will be cruising. They will want to hit back. And we are kicking against a strong wind.

If we win this quarter I will be very happy with our endeavour.

Liquid gold? Is that more valuable than solid gold?

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Love Tyson, but struggling to hit a target.

[Dommygun12 79]

damn jeffys been good bloddy gold

[Wiseblood 24,637]

If Jeff Garlett can play like this for the majority of the year then he will be a superb pick up.

[deanox 10,025]

Using the same run and ball movement into the wind this quartet is nice.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Loved the work of Toumpas yelling at Watts to kick for goal. Even though he missed it as a forward there is no excuse for not having a shot for goal directly in front from 40 metres out (even with the wind blowing).

[Dommygun12 79]

jkh niiiiice

[deanox 10,025]

Hogan has been in great spots but hasn't managed to quite clunk them.

JKH with a goal.

[Demon Jack 6,931]

Loved that. Hogan dropped the mark and JKH crumbed the ball beautifully.

[Dommygun12 79]

haha dunny with a bit of niggling

[The Backyard Charizard 1,202]

HAHAHA!!!!

Hutchy - "Great mark... Who is it?"

Pickers - "I think it's Viney but we'll have to wait till he turns around"

Hutchy - "Is it Viney? Hard to see from here"

Pickers - "Bloody Oath it is!"

HAHAHA!!! These guys are a cracker!

[CityDee 738]

Big kill in the last is what we need - 7 goal quater go dees!!!

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Commentators need a jizzlobber after Bonce and Pelli just kicked a goal...

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

Can't say I expected anything less.

Doggies are seriously undermanned. Some positives from a lot of our youngsters.

Grimes, McKenzie, Matt Jones.

The sooner we upgrade, the better.

How does Grimes consistently run team mates into trouble?

[Dommygun12 79]

oh no here we go

[Buzzy 992]

Dees butchering it a bit here.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Only started watching five minutes ago and... if I didn't know the scoreline I'd be embarrassed with how we're playing.

Who the hell was Dawes kicking to a minute ago? Caused a turnover then goal. Our defence seem to be running around without any direction at all.

[Little Goffy 14,668]

Love Tyson, but struggling to hit a target.

But 80% disposal efficiency. *shrug*

Maybe he is getting it more often than you've noticed? I mean, he has had it more than anyone else on the ground.

I wonder if it is part of MFCSS to only notice who a player is after they've committed a turnover?
