Frees 19 to 8

This looks too familiar.

Wake up Melbourne.

This game is about to be lost if we don't start getting our [censored] together.

A clearance will help. Come on Jonesy you need to lift!

Lift lift !!! Watts still needs to stand tougher

That was insipid effort to keep that in the forward line. We are moving the ball way too slow, what happen to the run run run from last week\

This is 2014-esque now.

Since Garlett's goal 10 minutes into the second quarter, it's 3.4 to 1.0, and we've hardly gone inside 50 either.

This is all them right now.

Howe has been very sloppy and lazy.

We're in serious trouble here. We've absolutely stopped after about 15 minutes into the second. We can't keep thinking we've won after we get a lead. It's as bad as thinking we've lost after we get behind.

We are gone

Our midfield is being absolutely smashed

oh boy. we cant get our run and carry going.

sub is for newton 20 min concussion.

Not sure what the exact reason is for this, but we are getting belted in the middle, hardly getting our hands on it. Disposals are even now at 187 a piece.

Where are our leaders?

That's us for the day I reckon. Too little run and desire. The old style Dees have returned. Utter rubbish.

no wrist cutting yet people.....

Clearances are now 27-23 their favour, inside 50s are now 31-20 their favour (this was 11-13 at quarter time).

Another goal to GWS - we are absolutely finished.

Why? When challenged last week we stood up. We need to do it again.

have I spoken too soon?

Oh no.....

Typical [censored] Melbourne.

Pathetic.

time to see if we will crumble like last year or if we can lift.

howe is having a shocker

Wtf? How can you go from being totally organised and in control to this rabble either side of a half time break?

When Garlett kicked his goal it was 6.3 to 0.2.

Since then it's 6.6 to 1.0.

Completely lost the momentum, it seems to be coming from contested possessions (almost even now at 76-81) and clearances (smashing us 29-23 now).

It's completely flipped, we're stagnant and have no defensive pressure through the middle, whilst they are linking up off half-back and moving quick and fast with skill. Totally the opposite of what we were doing to them in the first quarter and a half.

Jones needs to lift....midfield is being destroyed
