No one is calling the season over mate, but our first quarter has been poor.  Our skills in particular have been awful.  I'm not worried but it's fact.

Then I suggest those who are not liking what they are seeing, stop watching it, I'm listening on the radio, being overrun at the moment with direct footy,  doesn't sound too impressive, we have twice as many possessions, so we are over finessing, but it's the NAB Challenge, assume there will be few words at qtr time

Might give Brad Johnson a bike pump oh hang on he doesn't need any help pumping up the Bulldogs tyres!!!!

fmd they really shouldn't be commentating on their former teams.

Now, its not a surprise if Max Gawn breaks even with both opposition rucks. But still breaking even with them even when both Minson and Campbell contest the same ruck contest, that's impressive.

Garland flew for a mark only to try and chest mark it and bounce of his chest..

Mark my words McDonald and Garland will cost us alot of goals this year.

Kicking against a strong breeze at a ground with no cover to block the wind and in 30 degree heat.

We've controlled general play but kicks inside 50 have been held up in the wind and end up dead balls.

This quarter will be a better gauge.

That's a silly thing to say Saty.  We haven't been impressive, we've turned it over, fumbled the ball and our kicks inside 50 have been average at best.  People here aren't slitting wrists, just calling it as they see it.  If it's bad then it's bad.  You can't spin it any other way.

On the radio they said there was no breeze and then in the next breath said the wind was favouring the doggies

Defensively we were awful, just like against Port.

given how close this is to our best 22 compared to the dogs, there is no excuse today, if we be extremely dissapointing.

Garland.

Same farken story again haha.

I think we'll know we've turned a corner when we start beating teams who have more than half of their starting 18 not playing. 

Until then, we'll continue to see the same Melbourne.

Skll-set of our back six has got to be the worst in the league.

Lin Jong with 10 touches. Another meh player who always seems to play well against us.

Wind has been a factor no doubt. Even watts found it hard kicking accurately going forward.... That said we need to be much better.

But they are training really well so you're wrong.

There is definitely a breeze. Melbourne's kicks all hang in the air then fall dead, Bulldogs kicks just go and go and go.

I am not spinning it, I said it sounded unimpressive on the radio, just suggesting if people don't like what they are seeing, switch it off

O Mac, Terlich and ANB didn't make the squad.

Dogs have dropped Dahlhaus, Boys, Wallis and Macrae from theirs and have named a very, very weak side.  It's shite to be honest.  I'm kind of disappointed by that as I would have liked to see us up against close to their best side, plus I don't see the benefit in resting so many of your players when they need match fitness.

I know we've been playing very ordinary but....

Watching it on TV the wind looked to play a massive part in our poor kicking disposal into our 50. We seem to be dominating in general play, I can see a 7 or 8 goal quarter to the dees coming up. 

I hope im not wrong

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
