GAME DAY - Round 22

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Tom McDonald: lots to like, but he costs us goals with the constant turnovers. Seems unable to kick to a Melbourne player and have the ball arrive at the destination.

I've been banging on about kicking actions for a long time but he and Grimes have two of the worst and are probably our two least reliable kicks, coincidence?

[Little Goffy 12,770]

Can anyone tell me what happened to Nathan Jones?

Stats are saying 5 disposals, 5 clangers, and 0% effective?

[bing181 8,226]

was that Matt Jones turning it over again ????

Surely not. The 50% disposal efficiency is just a statistical blip.

[Dee-licious 1,867]

Grimes doesnt need to be the cleanest kicker. He is hard at it, he is getting the contested marks and he is trying. He's in out top 5 so far this match and he didnt play in quarter one.

Salem is showing some class, wish we had him all year. Viney having a good game, Cross seems to be in positions to get the ball but cant say he's having an impact. Dunn's been good.

[wizardinoz 2,081]

Matt Jones would have to be the worst skilled player on our list. Please tell me he is not contracted for next year someone. What is Roos thinking picking this guy for games? Grimes had to wear the vest instead of Jones? FFS.

[Moonshadow 16,408]

Salem looking good for the run, ANB and Stretch showing some glimpses.

tom mc shocking disposal week in week out hope o is better

Subbed out. Foot injury. In moon boot. Arghhh!

[DSP 1,488]

Out injured. Foot/ankle.

[Dee-licious 1,867]

Surely not. The 50% disposal efficiency is just a statistical blip.

It is a statistical blip. It's recording handballs that go to players being tackled. Should be reading 0%

Had a woeful game, then did his ankle.

That covers the kicking, but how about the poor handballs?

Grimes has a couple of doozies today - though like his intent and general presence around the ball/contest.

Not sure though that we can have both Cross and Grimes in the team ...

[Webber 10,181]

I think Stretch has shown enough this year to suggest he'll be a good player for us. Hasn't had any huge games this year but has shown plenty of glimpses of what he can do once he puts some weight on and builds a tank.

yep. Gutsy, excellent decision maker, reads the game well, good disposal. Will be very good. Salem is very special, Neal-Bullen will also be very good.

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

This how bad Melbourne are. They're so bad that I'm watching Spider-Man3 on TV because it's more entertaining

[loges 6,232]

Can someone please make it stop

[demonique 314]

Roos certainly hasnt got the quality of player needed to get playing anything looking like a plan :

Total pile of steaming pus of a team !

[Binmans PA 26,481]

Still doesn't quite have the speed of the game yet, but Salem straightens us up so well. Hoping we can get within 4 goals here.

I'm very pleased to inform you that Dean Terlich and Matt Jones have contracts for next year.

Whoever's in charge of list management (Mahoney?) isn't doing a great job. Why not just get these guys on rolling contracts? Not like other clubs will go after them.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Well done Max! Reckon he's gone ok against Sandi today.

What the hell has happened to Spencer? Absent since half time and Max has had to ruck on his own.

[jane02 3,462]

I am having flash backs to ten years ago when we played Freemantle and kicked about 50+ points in the final quarter to win. . I think Woinamerri kicked a bag of goals.

Wrist injury I thought?

I don't know if it's possible and if we had the funds, but I'd be doing everything in our power to buy out the last year of their contracts. Either that or trying to trade them for picks in the 100s. Just get them off the list any way we can.

[Seraph 1,714]

Roos will be happy that he can use the injury excuse (Spencer and Jones) for this performance.

[Demon Jack 6,388]

Injured I think WB
