20 points is nothing in 2017

be bold Goody. Throw the team around. 

Change it up

Lots of fumbling by every single Melbourne player out these - except for Omac.

We are heading for decimation.

Give Wagner a break, he's not the only one. He's lacking the normal support he would get, the guys look knackered. 

Lewis seems disinterested and Trac wasnt sighted that quarter.

We have been rubbish, but not super worried. Would rather get our inevitable rubbish game out of the way with the team we have, rather than when we are full strength

Four games in 18 days thanks heaps.

No coincidence that we are copping soft tissue injuries left, right and centre over this time either.

Sorry but white is not AFL grade at this stage, nowhere near it, and Wagner is having a nightmare game.

They are saying on the radio that Sam Frost may have done his hamstring.

How many games have we lost players mid game this year?

Apart from our touch being terrible, we seem to get 1-2 players to a contest, Swans getting 3-4. It is work rate. It can be corrected.

Wagner is doing all the right things, but his ball control by hand and foot is pathetic. 

Long kicks forward are not working at all. Their marking is murdering us.

If true Misson needs to be looked at. Has players dropping left right and centre to soft tissue injuries.

4 games in 18 days could be a factor too

The forward line has looked junior footy grade, no targets, no idea

 

If it's true that Frost's done his hammy and Jack Watts re-tweaked his at training yesterday then we have to seriously look at what we're doing to our players. This number of soft tissue injuries is a massive concern.

Freezing my [censored] off watching this rubbish. No wonder we don't get Friday night games. Hopefully we can pull one out of the bag but as it stands getting murdered

Because he makes the draw and picks the team..,

We are paying the price of not picking a Kent or Kennedy.

White and Wagner are just spuds.

Argh..

And Jake Melksham can spend the rest of the year in the VFL and learn how to get a clean ball. 

Kennedy? He's a VFL spud and wouldn't help us at all.

And he's had it 14 times!

That equals 14 turnovers.

I reckon we are cream crackered.
Whether we can pick up in the second half is debatable.
It will be interesting if the fighting Melbourne we are used to turn up (or if they have energy to fight).

We are not out of this yet. but we need to lift, a lot of players are doing stuff all so if they lift we can pull this back.  so many of our passes were rubbish, dropped marks, poor handpasses, failed tackles.. We need to reverse all of these, team needs to get fired up and go out there and kick the swans butt.

We as a club need to let the afl know this horrible fixturing should never happen again

Bring back Bohdan Babychuck!

Missing tackles on players who literally stood still 

This was an issue last week too, we overcommmit to the tackle instead of planting the feet and aiming for the hips.

This along with wasting disposals after taking a mark is one of my biggest gripes.

Ive hardly noticed White or Wagner..

Just saying

Kent.. Kennedy at least used to this level and pace. Disappointed in Wagner so far... who's White 

Whole team is down, could be the 6 day breaks but Sydney is massacring us at every contest. 

In saying that, White is clearly not up to this level and Wagner is playing one of the worst games of football I have ever seen. Chuck in Melksham's fumbles and we have a tripe bottom few. 

We have fought back a lot this season but  something tells me it's not happening tonight. 

And Bugg deserves 4 weeks minimum for his pathetic hit. Maybe he'll learn something from it. Who knows.
