GAMEDAY - Round 1

Featured Replies

Defensive transition. They are waltzing it up the field every time they get it. 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. 

 

Roos half time summary says it all. 

Geelong not playing well but our defence and movement is letting them find all the holes. One team playing other is a rabble. 

Give Goodwin the tape for us not to be embarrassed by the Lions next week. 

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.

 

This is crapola - poor pressure and tackling. Lewis and Vince are liabilities.

 


3 players with double digit touches.

Gawn garlett vince taken the day off.

Some leaders.

Levers 1st game a shocker.

We’ll get back in this game, turning point was Wagner’s overzealous late spoil. Prior to that we were getting the bum steer from the umps but no excuses for how we played. Trac and Ollie look good. Get Hogan in the guts.

Was Lewis even on the ground then?

We have no pace and spread. 

They have 55 more uncontested possessions and they use them to leave us flat footed and score.  

They have scored 20 times from 24 entries and us 13 from 30. 

Who are our running players. 

unsurprising. we haven't played the mcg well since goodwin started. his coaching is now firmly under the microscope.

 

Lewis makes me angry, it’s like he doesn’t care

We were a decent defensive team under Roos but have regressed on that front under Goodwin. Lever can [censored] off back to Adelaide he’s as much use as [censored] on a boar


58 to 21 marks there way lol.

Don’t forget TMac as well

Yeah and imagine if Henderson was playing for the Cats. 

There are no excuses. 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?!


If homeless looking bums like Guthrie can shimmy past you, you know you are cooked.

We look so slow.

Yep, we get lost completely on the MCG now...painful to watch

 

Goodwin has undone a lot of the Roos defensive improvements since he has taken over


Why aren’t we playing the same way we have all preseason, fast and furious? We look slow, tired, uninterested and like boys playing men. (Oliver excluded of course)

The whole telecast has been all Geelong, I thought it was out home game.  Nothing about Melbourne.  Surely they can find something to promote us.

You're joking?

geelong has been at 80% efficiency going forward the whole game. literally all they had to do was steady defensively and they'd establish the lead.

yeah we'll come back, kick 5 or 6 in a row, but we're still going to lose. This game may well as be round 14 2017. We play exactly the same time of football. 

Geelong is simply too efficienct around the ground. there's no way the cats lose from here.

this is more whether geelong is the type of team that loses from here, rather than if we have what it takes to win.

Geelong does not lose games from here.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
