Very very disappointing. Dominated then dropped off. Why the [censored] do we refuse to leave a tall one out in the square??????

Because that would be smart football Jaded. We don't play smart football.

Poor intensity today. Hopefully we get out of first gear and bother to run back and defend. Letting them kick those easy goals is unacceptable. 


Where’s Oliver?

Heavy tag?

Thus far the worst thing is when we inevitably do turn it over going i50 the corridor seems to be wide open for Hall and Martin to link up and carry the ball the length of the ground

They’re not wasting opportunities like we are currently

Need to clean up i50 delivery, and not overpossess.  Looking so much better, but with no reward yet.  There are 1 or 2 players from the suns we need to get into, and they fall apart.

 

was that our good quarter or our bad one ?

Seriously..ahead by miles on every stat and just ahead on the scoreboard.

 

We are the opposite of clinical

Overusing the ball. Get the backmen to pick up opponents.

If they exploit space....theyll be a big worry. Its how Richmond toreus apart.

Dew...pays attention !!


Golden opportunity for us at the end almost turned into a goal for the suns. They’re looking a bit up and about, spreading quickly when rebounding out of their defence. 

Have to come out strong next quarter. 

why does the league use a yellow footy when the seats are yellow? anyone else finding the ball hard to track against the background?

I feel sorry for our forwards, our delivery recently has been shocking. Either lower the eyes, or if you want to bomb it in long and quick, have someone tall there ffs (with a couple of roving smalls to boot). It ain't rocket science.


It appears the players have little respect for the Suns. Too much fancy play handing the ball around dinky kicking and 2 feet handballs. 

I never like us when we play like it is just going to happen. 

We are the better team on paper but Suns working much harder and cleaner in open spaces. 

 

 

We love handing it directly to our opponents dont we

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • 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.
