GAME DAY - Round 14

[praha 11,240]

Eagles are well drilled and disciplined. We still have 4-5 too many VFL players.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,053]

Spencer has actually been pretty good tonight.

[DSP 1,488]

Viney's touched kick high into our forward line.

4 Melb players tackle the WC player who "marked" the ball

The WC player gets the handball away to one of the THREE FREE WC players

DUMB

Rinse and repeat stuff.

They never, ever learn from it.

[Adam The God 30,259]

The umpiring has beem disgracefully one sided.

[dazzledavey36 54,938]

[censored] you umps your peice of [censored]

[Nasher 33,616]

They're not a class above they're just playing smarter more disciplined footy. It ain't rocket science.

I don't think I've seen one MFC kick to Dawes or Hogan all season that matches half a dozen or so I've seen to Darling or Kennedy tonight alone. They're most certainly a class above.

[Seraph 1,824]

Get [censored] that's in the back, players are throwing themselves to the ground while being tackled and somehow getting rewarded.

[JV7 2,351]

Would you prefer him to not contest the mark? Dunn did exactly as he should. The Umpire paid a shocker. Don't blame the player for the [censored] the umpires are dishing up.

It's a 50m penalty every day of the week.. He blatantly pushed him in the back after he took the mark. Absolute stupidity from Dunn snuffed out any chance we had

[scarlett 247]

lynch barracking for west coast is painful

[titan_uranus 25,019]

I just tuned in briefly to see that mark to Kennedy. Dunn's attempt to cover him was insipid.

Viney's touched kick high into our forward line.

4 Melb players tackle the WC player who "marked" the ball

The WC player gets the handball away to one of the THREE FREE WC players

DUMB

Not just dumb - selfish. Too often when the going gets tough our players resort to fending for themselves. We're not tackling well tonight so off they all go trying to get a tackle. Not playing team football.

At some point we have to rid ourselves of this individualistic, selfish football and stick to playing as a team. We win as a team, we lose as a team. I can't stand it when we are overrun because our players stop doing the team things and start doing what they think they need to do themselves.

DUMB

Perfect example of our braindead idiots.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,053]

Don't be daft he pushed him straight in the back - Dunn is an idiot.

Of course he did. It's a free kick any day of the week. It's not 50m though. His option was to give away the free or not contest at all. He did the right thing, provided the contest he could and slowed down the play. The push was in the marking contest. Pay a free or a mark, but it's not even close to 50m.

[Jaded No More 68,915]

Love a goalless Melbourne quarter and I feel we are about to see one. Goodie!

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Souldve been vineys free for dropping the ball rather than in the back

[dees189227 12,394]

In all reality we are playing a team that is 3rd on the ladder. They should put away a team like us. But Id like to think we have improved and at least stuck with them.

Maybe having the bye wrecked our momentum. Instead of going into this game the week after our win against geelong we have the week off and lose it.

I just hope our players arent stuffed because we need our energy to beat the bummers next week.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

I hate west coast...

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Getting ugly on the score board. Very ugly

[DSP 1,488]

Usual 4th quarter effort.

Well done dees.

Im out.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,216]

I don't think I've seen one MFC kick to Dawes or Hogan all season that matches half a dozen or so I've seen to Darling or Kennedy tonight alone. They're most certainly a class above.

Look at the time and space they have. Masten drilled one in before because there was no Melbourne player within 10 metres of him. Give most of our players that much time and they'll hit our forwards on the [censored] to.

[Nasher 33,616]

Need another one for the records to be broken thread: Not get completely embarrassed by West Coast. I don't even ask for a win, just four complete shameless quarters.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,053]

Poor from Stretch, gave off the handball and didn't bother with the shepherd. He left Vince to be squashed like a bug.

[praha 11,240]

7 unanswered Eagles goals.

Called it.

[Seraph 1,824]

So we've nearly lost by 10 goals.

Why am I not surprised?

Geelong was an anomaly.

[frankie_d 1,471]

Poor from Stretch, gave off the handball and didn't bother with the shepherd. He left Vince to be squashed like a bug.

Terrible... really left him open.

He's a kid and will learn

But I despair for our club. We've been down for so long.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,053]

Hogan scores his goal for the game. Looked really shaky though.
