Umpires are [censored]!

That was throw, garlett called play on after about 3 seconds. It is BS

 

I seriously hate our defence. Jetta and Michie are playing their role while McDonald anf Garland continue to turn ot over and leak easy goals.

How many times are the dogs going to get away with throws!!!!!!! Set up two goals now 

 

No wonder the crows were pizzed, the doggies are getting a dream run with the umpires.


jetta and mitchie fantastic tmc good grief garland just [censored] off into the sunset

So Goldy gets a free due to a sheppard but max gets done for somethung while being sheppaded.

Again.. clearly ducked another free and goal to the umpires.

 

At quarter time will Paul Roos try something to get us back into this game or will he do nothing because his job is only to "teach us"?


Nothing to do with the umpires. Seriously outplayed so far.

Unreal isn't it

I say it again.. Our defence is [censored] [censored] house

Their back line has been tremendous.  We aren't playing all that badly, they're just using it much better going forward.

Our turnovers going forward are killing us.  Easy to blame the back line, but when you allow them to get over that zone too easily there isn't much we can do.  We just need to fix that up, get some scoreboard pressure going and we'll be right in it.


Terrible free kick for Jones to give away. Lazy.

Defined the quarter. They play the MCG better than we do. Use the space very well.

That was a toweling

Is Mac injured ? Playing a yard behind the game.

Poor post, Chook.  You're better than that.

Is it too late to make a lat change and leave Garland out. And someone give Pedersen a pair of glasses.

I'm calling it early today. We're gawn. 

Way too early. Fix a few things and we'll get back into this.

Backline needs to learn how to spoil. Then we can't get it past the midfield, and goes straight back into Doggies forward line.

Our defence is broken. Not the personell so much, but the plan. We zone and push up to the ball carrier and just leave opposition forwards open in their forward 50. 

We are too easy to score against. It is covered against rubbish sides, but the dogs and saints have shown this.

I know we are still learning it but it needs a tweak ASAP.

Incorrect on both counts. It's not a poor post, and I'm not better than that.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
