who is going to stand up for us? Who are the real leaders out on the field?

Not a throw against Hannan. Umpires looking to pay throws, except against Bulldogs. 

What tf was Jones doing there? Stretch had the ball!

Watts inability to extend his arms this far into his career when trying to mark is embarrassing on him.

Three times he's done it today.

Without Garlett as our power marking forward where would we be  joke joke.

Outcoached.

They know they've got us with two spares in defence. We always give it up on that last kick into the 50.

Where are all the posters who said this game is a certainty and that we HAD CHANGED????

Ha ha. 

If we are lucky enough to scrape a win all good, but we still have a loooong way to go to be a respected football club.

 

Essendon all over again. 

I'm watching it in and out as we are having friends over for a BBQ but EVERY forward entry has been a long bomb to garlett in a marking situation and usually out numbered... what's the deal with that? Are our tall forwards not working hard enough. 

 

Will be an interesting 4th quarter see if our "leaders" have learnt from last year. 

If we miss finals by one game it will be this

I'm at the game and can't believe what's going on. Even for an eternal optimist like myself I don't think I've been this frustrated in a while. Where the hell is the team from last week? 

Naive coaching. Goodwin must ring in the changes. Players need to bite the bullet and take game on. Start winning some clearances would help as well.

What has happened to Brayshaw. Does not seem right at all.

Goody needs to makes some changes.

He also needs to get through to them somehow, clearly what he said at half time sent them to sleep

What the hell is going on with our forward structure? Jeffie has been our "target" 3-4 times with him being outnumbered almost every time. 

Pathetic quarter from us then, we need to be and are better than this. Leaders need to stand up. Watts needs to start taking marks out in front of his eyes instead of chesting it. 

We need lift from a lot of our senior players. I'm backing us, but boy we need some of the boys to pull their finger out and stop playing like rockstars.

Is not best 22

Classic Melbourne.

We just play dumb football and then panic under a scintilla of pressure.

Blues want it more, pure and simple.

Will Hogan go for his punch?

We are gone here if we win I will be very surprised 

Port have kicked 2 points less than us in a quarter in what has taken us 3. Funny what happens when you take the game on.

I hereby dub this the MFC’s “Scars” game. It will define the players with baggage from the past, and will forever show us which supporters have that same baggage.

50/50 contest at this stage, Blues have the momentum. Was there's to lose from halfway through the second. Defensive transition has been far superior to Melbourne's, putting more pressure on our backs than we do theirs. We saw in that quarter that when you're on top in that way and being effective in transition, eventually you'll score. We've dominated possession but it's overuse and inefficient disposal. 

This is simply awful.  Lets see what we do - step up or wilt off?  We have brought Murphy, Cripps etc into the game.

Going to find out if we are serious now.

Reset its your time Goody

Typical Melbourne and typical Round 2 Melbourne.

We even have managed to play Daisy Thomas back into form
