GAMEDAY - Round 2, 2016

[Guest]

We may well very be the most immature football team in Australia.
I don't mean physically. Between the ears, we are abysmal.

Umpiring.....beyond abysmal. Must be on the take

They have nothing to do with our inability to actually run, tackle and apply pressure. It has been abysmal.

[censored], I'm done with this thread because there is literally no positive with this predictably piece of [censored] performance.

 

No second half comeback can wallpaper over the cracks of this team right now.

sick of the defeatest attitue on this site.

They are absolutely slicing us up in traffic.

[Maple Demon 449]

We are playing down to their level.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Thank goodness for half time.  Hopefully the boys take some responsibility for this effort.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Horrible. Just horrible. They will be copping a well deserved bake in the sheds.

[dazzledavey36 48,751]

My biggest worry this year was our lack of outside run..

My worst nightmare has come to truth.

We are slowwwwww and getting killed on the outside.

You know for once, I wanted to feel as if we were past these types of performances. Forget the umpiring, we've been [censored]house today and I really hope we come out firing in the second half.

You mean reality...

one thing to think you will win, another to think we would smash them.

Also, it'd be really helpful if people just don't bother posting until after the game if all you've got is "mutter mutter, grumble, awful, snark snark poopyface". Some of us are trying to keep an eye on events.

Yeah, much better to just blame the umpires. Sheeeeeesh.

Absolutely pitiful stuff from the MFC

Why shouldn't we think we would smash them? Every other team will - what constantly makes us so negative that we even give them a sniff?

And yes, people on here are defeatist. Same thing last week, and look what happened then.

We are playing disgracefully and are only 9 points down. Pull our fingers out a bit and we'll be fine.

[Moneider96 1,045]

This would be comical if I wasn't a Melbourne supporter.

[Redjacket 695]

If we were winning the footy we wouldn't need to worry about the umps.

Hogan needs to lead, i'm sick of him hanging in the goal square having a sook if he doesn't get it. Lumumba can go and rot in Casey for the rest of his career as far as I'm concerned. Only players out there that look like they're switched on are Kennedy and .......

Garlett.

Rest have been putrid.

[dee-tox 4,825]

Kent one kick. Three frees against. 

[Wiseblood 24,636]

At the moment we are playing right into their hands.  When we get the ball across half back they are just waiting for us to bomb it long inside 50.  As soon as it hits the deck, or they mark it uncontested, they are off and running.  We are allowing them easy footy through the middle of the ground and that is making us look slow and lazy.

If we can use the ball better, get some of our players involved like Watts, Kent, Harmes, Hogan etc and cut off their easy run through the middle, then we'll be okay.

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

Well that was nothing short of disgusting. The umpiring in general has been atrosious. 

Mcdonald and garland need to decide who is playing on Daniher and actually stay on him. Half his contests were against Jetta or bugg.

need a big lift and some actual structure next half.

Whilst we are playing like crap there are some unbelievably bad decisions by the maggots

Hogan not starting this quarter?

good ,he behaves like a spoilt child time for him to back to casey

 

 

 

[Gorgoroth 12,319]

I don't think the umpires have been bad. We have.

None of our leaders have even stood up for a minute.

Some guy wearing 43 is smashing us repeatedly, Coaches are playing Garland on Daniher while Tmac runs around looking for new ways to turn the ball over. Our tackling has been very poor, pressure non existent. 

Gawn is getting beaten, our players are trying to break tackles and not being able to.

Can't hit a target by hand or foot whilst under a small amount of pressure, 

Always kicking to Hogan while all the defenders just run to him, we need to lower our eyes. 

Salem is wasted on the half back, doesn't get enough of it there to warrant having him there for his good kicking.

Jones and Viney have been poor. Tyson still turns it over more often than not.

[praha 10,279]

We've been terribly outcoached. But it doesn't help that we are actually a really dumb team.

 

Their spread is killing us.

4-5 guys all go to punch a ball and miss, and Daniher marks.

We make too many areas across half-back.

We hesitate.

Leadership is lacking today .

Bombers the deserving leaders atm. Look at the stats.

This as actually an annihilation.
