much better entry, lowered the eyes and found target.

13 to 6 inside 50s.

1.3 to 3.2 for the quarter.

But we all know that's not bad luck but a sign of our crap gameplan.

Oscar just drifted off his line after taking a nice mark in defence which forced the umpire to call play on so he actually went from having a free kick to being under pressure in the backline.

Dumb.

 

Some on here wanted to retain Stretch over Hannan ?

How are we still in this? Melksham is s very good luck of the footy.

Spargo is looking the goods.

Come o Dees. Be alert.

Oh look, a quick one out the back.

Dodged a bullet there...

The traditional just before half time slot on goal

Missed

Leunberger has just ran directly at Gawn no eyes for the ball 3 times and umpire has ignored it

It seems when rookies come into our side they instinctively know where to be inside forward 50, then after a few weeks they become more and more indecisive and caught out of position. Is this a coaching issue whereby rather than allow instincts to dictate position the players are instructed to be somewhere which goes against their natural instinct?

Speaking to a Richmond supporter about hardwicks change from 2016 and 2017. He stated that Hardwick was told he micromanaged the game too much. 

 

He changed his style in 2017 and told the players they made this grade because they were elite players. Go out and trust your instinicts, he also allowed the line coach’s to worry about the small things rather than him. 

 

It was obvious last week that we are playing to instructions not instincts. 

Ohhhhh no another out the back

Wake up Goodwin your game plan is KRAP

We’re rubbish but geezus we got murdered by the umps. How many good tackles do we not get rewarded for.

good to see Joe keeping us in it like he did last year

How the f are we only a goal down!

Keep your eye on the ball boys.

Gee wiz!

Spargo and ANB both run for the ball. Talk and SHEPHERD!!!

Spargo goes up to Jonesy to get around him at half-time. Jones half-heartedly slaps his hand but doesn't even look at him. No encouragement, no eye contact. Nothing.

Agree it’s a joke same thing happened in first qrt I think against hawks or north.  No reward at all then Jones seems to get pinged for playing the ball.

This is one of the worst games of footy I've ever seen. I'm feeling numb more than anything.

Despite the self-flagellation in here we’re one goal down.  There have been moments where we’ve moved the ball well, but they are too few and far between.  But for can turn quickly... fingers crossed for the second half.

 

Ps. Welcome to the MFC Charlie Spargo!

Sounds like we're lucky to be only a goal down at half time. 

I'm not at the game, nor listening to it. Just following comments on this site.

Playing for Melbourne can do that to you I imagine
