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.

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.

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.

I feel 100 times better this week than last week.

I feel 100 times better this week than last week.

Agreed, but that is not hard

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

Gonna be a 2014 goalless qtr..

I think this is Watts worse game.

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

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

He'll be All Australian.

This has been a good effort from the lads.

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

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.

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.

He'll be All Australian.

certainly on track. long season but.

Watts poor.

Midfield needs improvement.

Better than 2014 but we are bottom 3 IMO

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

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.

these umps are dreadful....

Get off my lawn...

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.

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

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

Great work by JKH.

JKH makes something out of nothing.
