DeeZee 7,496 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Soft and slow the usual Melbourne. Believing their own press
darkhorse72 1,943 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Marks 18 to 53! Way too much space. Now we need to listen about Selwood...

Nasher 33,686 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 1 minute ago, RalphiusMaximus said: This is like watching a bunch of ten year olds. They all run to where the ball is, get in each other's way, kick into each other and then when one of them randomly finds themselves free with the ball they kick it as hard as they can towards the goals. Meanwhile we gave up two first round picks for a guy who built his reputation by never having an opponent and promptly put him in a situation where he always has an opponent. We left out two quality users in favour of a spare inside ball-winner and the inexplicable Wagner, and the umpires are all wearing blue and white undies. In lieu of being at the ground, I watched the player tracker on the AFL Live app and it looks to me like Lever is always the spare defender at stoppage setups, but by the time the ball arrives in their 50 he's always been forced to take someone. This suggests that we're not getting back as quickly as Geelong are getting forward - this to me is a whole of system failure rather than an individual. I accept this is a lot to extrapolate based on watching dots move about a phone screen. 1

Lord Travis 10,819 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Is there still anyone on here that thinks Wagner and Maynard were the right selections? The selection panel has learnt nothing from their repeated mistakes last year. 2 1

Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 The centre of the MCG has been wide open for them... so so open.
reynolds46 1,310 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Unfortunately if we continually don't come to the party things like this will never change

Surely they can find something to promote us. Yep, but to be fair there is NOTHING that could be considered a Melbourne highlight
Dr.D 1,771 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 looking so fricken slow. hibberd getting side stepped too easily. wagner dumb kent giving away a goal with his 50m. tell me frost isnt better than oscar mcdonald! he doesnt deserve to be called Omac or have a nickname. petracca needs to play mid...only person that is cracking in.

Also, when Cam Guthrie can go from the centre bounce breaking tackles and kicking goals you know you are battling. Need to fix that if we are any chance to get back into. What tackles? We didnt even make body contact. 2

We should be in this game and we are not. No matter how many disappointment this club faces, they don’t seem to learn. Goodwin has a lot of answer for. Poor selection and awful match day coaching. Either we are serious about winning or we are trying to develop NQRs like Wagner and Maynard and Hannan?! That was my point. We can’t say they are weakened by injury and neither are we. I would say it is about a draw. What we have served up is not good enough
Purple77 1,025 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 No doubt, an awful second quarter. Still, can turn it around pretty quickly. I believe we can do it. But even then, these quarter fade outs just need to stop, for goodness sake.

The selection panel has learnt nothing from their repeated mistakes last year. A half fit Tyson is 10 times the player Maynard is. And I am twice the player Wagner is, in that I don’t play, and that’s less damaging to the team. 4

The cancelled training camp says it all Thank God I didn't buy a membership this year You should step up that protest by refusing to post here as well...
Maldonboy38 6,435 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Unpressured turnovers. Defensive setup at stoppages. Being outmarked badly. Fixable, but not gretat to watch.

Demon Disciple 12,536 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Whatever Roosy instilled defensively in us during his 3 year reign, has been completely dismissed by Goodwin. Our defensive set-up is currently, and our midfield is lazy running back the other way to cover their free men. Lazy football going backwards, error riddled going forwards.
