Players who didn't impress me in second half

Jones

Kent

Garland

Garlett

Howe

Are you serious? This isnt Twitter, there is no character limit. I would list everyone perhaps maybe McDonald and one or two others.

Jack Watts typifies Melbourne. he was great in the first half, up and about and looked so damaging, but the heat came on and started his usual loping, uncontested, ineffective game.

It's a team game, BUT, all those who desperately wanted Dawes in this week, hang your head and apologise now. Come on, fess up.

Grossly overated in this website.

Been calling and keep getting howled down for it. But Dawes is a spud who we paid way over for.

Get pedersen of Gawn in atleast they can MARK the ball.

Seeing this today makes me realise that even after 10 years we havn't improved. We keep selling it to ourselves that we have when we are the exact same [censored] as 10 years ago. We are no better now then we were back then.


It's games like this that give Gawn, McKenzie, Minchie, Riley Grimes & Spencer hope

Then we truly have no hope.

I think the saddest thing about losing today is looking ahead. Hawks, Adelaide, Sydney and Port all in the next 5 weeks. Be scared, people. Be scared.

Don't forget Freo...

Once we lose our grip on the possession based game, we have nothing. We just can't get the ball back and take control again.

 

Luckily I took a photo of the ladder last week!

It's not even about skill level, it's about effort. The Saints showed far more guts last week and came within a few goals. We just stopped trying at half time.

If we were half as good as we were 10 years ago (2005), we'd be a finals team.

Probably missed the Pedo gutsy type of game he played last year.

Antway going to milk the chitters and hope the scoreboard changes when i get back in.

I am ANGRY not sad or moping

ANGRY...that is what we must be

13 goals to 1 in the second half

ANGRY....Don't let the players off..

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY N. JONES IS NOT AN A GRADE CHAMPION

He Goes Missing when he must LEAD

Once we lose our grip on the possession based game, we have nothing. We just can't get the ball back and take control again.

Correct.

Add their fitness levels and pace, once they found their radar.....all over.

Don't forget Freo...

Oh, great. This will be fun for the psyche of the group.


You can't say that Dawes exactly had good service from his midfielders, why does everyone always blame the forwards when we get beaten, struth the ball didn't enter inside 50 much in the last half and yet it's Dawes's fault. What about DYson, Lumumba Jonesd et al?

With the benefit of hindsight. The only player listed above you would even think of adding to the side today would have been Mitchie.

All the others are way too slow.

Yeh we should look to replace as many non AFL standard footballers (and we have plenty of em STILL) with more non AFL standard ones.

That should see a huge improvement on the field


I was so jubliant at half time

makes it sooo much worse

Jubilant at half time? really? how could you not see the game shifted in the second qtr?

Because he's an easy target by so many on this forum.

That was shameful.

They not only smashed us, they actually, physically beat us up and we did nothing.

 

Terrible day but to see the future of the the club in VINEY,HOGAN, BRAYSHAW,SALEM,TOUMPASS (At casey) MCDONALD,TYSON, There is light at the end of the tunnel even though it is a very long way in the distance. Remember Rome wasn't build in a day

Edited by garyh007

Also no one showed any Mongrel or real fight!

sometimes that's needed more than others

today we had no one of that caliber.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
