GAME DAY, ROUND 3, 2015

[Sir Why You Little 37,257]

not at all, we fought but blew our chances at goal.

When it's wet, you can't afford to miss goals. We missed, they didn't. Thats the difference.

We fought out 75 % of the game

Not 100%

Bad kicking is bad football.

Always has been.

[SaberFang 7,151]

A stat i got from the AFL site:

Adelaide have outscored Melbourne 6.3.39 to 0.3.3 from stoppages today. In the last six quarters, the Demons have been outscored 84 to 10 from stoppages.

Well it's safe to say that in a game plan that loves stoppages, this would indicate a large part in why it's not working for us.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Disagree SWYL. I reckon they have put in 4 pretty good quarters. Had a crack, just not good enough. But we will beat more sides playing like today than we beat last year. Couple need to be looked at but a bit of luck and who knows.

agreed. We have definitely improved. Problem is, that we were so far off that we are still bad even though we have improved.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I feel 100 times better this week than last week.

[Red and Bluebeard 2,101]

I feel 100 times better this week than last week.

Agreed, but that is not hard

[whatwhat say what 23,166]

i don't. we've been smashed in the midfield. again.

[dazzledavey36 55,510]

Gonna be a 2014 goalless qtr..

[Gorgoroth 13,153]

I think this is Watts worse game.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Been a great effort from Melbourne today. Showing a little more each week.

[Balls 31]

Tom Mcdonald would have to be the front runner for our Best and Fairest this year.

He'll be All Australian.

[KingDingAling 3,758]

This has been a good effort from the lads.

[Jaded No More 68,975]

Who the F does Jones need to sleep with to get a free kick?! A joke.

[Chook 15,022]

We fought out 75 % of the game

Not 100%

Bad kicking is bad football.

Always has been.

Whether you kick well or not has nothing to do with fighting out the game.

Either we lost because we kicked poorly or we lost because we didn't fight. Make up your mind.

[whatwhat say what 23,166]

i don't think we can play watts next week. as overly criticised as he is - it must be SO HARD to be third lead-up forward at melbourne - we need another runner to push up and move through the midfield.

i don't know what we're going to do with him. talented but insipid, better than what he's worth on the open market, i just don't know where he fits.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

He'll be All Australian.

certainly on track. long season but.

[spirit of norm smith 16,598]

Watts poor.

Midfield needs improvement.

Better than 2014 but we are bottom 3 IMO

[Fork 'em 7,020]

"The umpires have done a pretty good job."
Dunstalls a [censored].

[praha 11,252]

Many positives from this with Brayshaw, Hogan, Vince, Jones' response, McDonald continuing good form, but unfortunately we are still a very, very average team.

Going to be another long year.

[CHF 2,816]

these umps are dreadful....

[13thFlagIsComing 542]

Get off my lawn...

[leucopogon 1,519]

Outs for next week:

Watts

Howe

Frost (inj)

Newton (anonymous)

Ins:

Whoever plays well in the 2s

No more gifted games, I'd honestly rather Grimes or McKenzie than Watts's soft as butter efforts.

[BrisbaneDemon 1,574]

Watts he's great with the kids and fans, but he's a gutless [censored] footballer.....

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Dawes has no drive to get the ball. AGAIN, i'm sorry for being so positive about him.

[Gorgoroth 13,153]

Great work by JKH.

[KingDingAling 3,758]

JKH makes something out of nothing.
