Wind or no wind, doesnt excuse the sheer laziness out there. Tyson and Lewis have been the worst.

Lets see how much an advantage that wind actually is in this qtr.

Played poorly IMO and lucky Gold Coast missed a lot of easy chances. Commentators assuming the wind will do the work for us. Gold Coast will put numbers behind the ball and we are nromally incapable when this occurs. No targets up forward will be a big struggle for us.

Dont  count on the wind doing the job for MFC. Doesnt help when you keep fumbling and turning the ball over

Can see a 10 goal quarter coming up.... not sure what all the posters are complaining about. Pretty hard to get a lead kicking into that tough of a breeze. Reserve your judgements until we switch ends

We changed our gamestyle to limit them with the wind. Would like to be one goal closer but hoping we play some smart footy with the breeze. Dom Tyson is a very lazy very dumb mid. I am getting quite over it with him.

most of our kicks were up and unders that fell short in the wind

When we tried to run and carry we stuffed up the handballs

Lucky GC are bad but honestly we thought we were a top 8 team ...

Not too bad but must thrash them this quater. Can anb learn to kick.

All the numbers pointing towards a solid win........     IF we can reduce the number of dumb turnovers ?

Every radio station I can find refuses to tell me where the ball is or what's going on. 

First goal of the game sounded like it was kicked by us on MMM and ABC hasn't been any better. 

Barf.

Mate it has to be a strategy, has been happening for a couple of years. Everyone up, no one down.

I know Nev is a good mark for his size, but for gods sake man stay down when there are 4 talls going for a pack mark!

Tyson is pretty fast...

And has atrocious disposal.

What a terrible, terrible start. 

Did we lay an effective tackle? 

How was Tom McDonald's handball at Bugg's feet? And ANB's predictable miss from directly in front, 20 metres out? And Tyson's predictable turn over looking into the middle of the ground?

We're being murdered at the stoppages. Our clearances were ordinary as well. 

This is a massive quarter. Start laying some bloody tackles and using the ball better.

From the AFL website:

Aaron Hall was phenomenal for the Suns that quarter, with 10 disposals, five inside 50s, five score involvements and a goal. He also had an incredible 448 metres gained, the most in a quarter of any player this season.

 

Jayden Hunt has been Melbourne's best metres gained player this year, averaging 450m per game. He had a total of negative 11m for the quarter from just three disposals.

We must recruit the worlds dumbest footballers.  When is someone going to sort TMac out with his woeful skills.  We can all see it!!!

From the sounds of it the second quarter will tell the tale for the day. While it sounded like GC were getting well on top by the end, the wind sounds like it's very strong. 

If we take advantage of the breeze and have a dominant quarter we could break this game open. But I'm only going on what I'm hearing, it also sounds like some poor decisions/execution has been costly and we are also lucky not to be down by more. Lack of a proper ruckman is also hurting us. 

Slightly off topic but anyone listening to the triple m commentary? I could not work out what was going on/ where the ball was from what they were saying, at one point a Melbourne player had the ball at the centre of the ground and they went off on a "chemist warehouse" plug and all of a sudden it was in the GC forward line. Pathetic.

We are pretenders. Book your September holidays. 

Yeah, good on ya! I'm in Europe now rather than September for the first time in 6 years, purely on the basis that I'd be attending at least one final. There's still hope.

Maybe that's a sign of the confidence Nev has in our talls

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
