GAMEDAY - Round 17

[Jaded No More 68,903]

We are the easiest team to beat. 

Pathetic. 

 

[Beetle 4,652]

What the hell has happened to our inside contested ball work. Our pressure is non existent. Teams just waltz away from pack situations against us.

[Pates 9,660]

We won a free kick in our defence so do you know what would be a good idea, not to kick it to a three on one. But of course we’re Melbourne so.....

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Smashing us in clearances.

That's why frost wasn't getting games. 

[DaveyJones'sLocker 647]

Absolute Garbage,

i don’t care if we come out and win by 60 points , we are still a [censored] football side

It's amazing how often I see Oscar McDonald 50cm away as a bloke takes a mark. His obsession with his man is unhealthy. He gets dragged up the ground too often, and doesn't leave his man to impact the contest in d50 when he should.

That is true to an extent chook.  He needs to impact more often at the drop and take a few more risks off his man and back himself.

Disposals, I50's.. pressure, intensity etc etc.

Still reckon he adds more than he takes away. Jetta and Frost our best 2 defenders this half IMO.

[leucopogon 1,519]

Players either guarding space or two or more players tackling one means teams can just waltz away from packs. No trust in this team.

[Jaded No More 68,903]

Another Goodwin move. Bring in Hannan who has done SFA all year for Viney when you have Tyson, who all year you have refused to play in his rightful spot as an inside mid. 

Honestly this coach and this team are infuriating. 

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Garlett has had 2 touches. 

 

[dazzledavey36 54,861]

Good lord this has St Kilda game written all over it..

They beating us to the ball and their young kids are just running around us with ease. 

Again Oscar making an average player look like Wayne Carey.

[censored] off Lewis!

Wheres Jones? Need the the captain to step up!

Ordinary first half.

We’re a stupid football side. Basic errors costing us. 

I don’t like our chances if it ends up being a close one. 

[bringbackthebiff 654]

We don’t seem to be able to play the mcg. We are slow and bomb it in. They are fast and the forward line is open. Surely we need to adapt.

[praha 11,240]

1. Midfielders are getting absolutely smashed. Jones' defensive awareness is embarrassing. 

2. JKH is a liability.

3. Garlett will never learn and doesn't apply enough pressure.

4. We kick to contested areas and allow Footscray to waltz it out.

5. If the Dogs start clunking their marks, we are due for heartbreak.

6. We continue, week in and week out, play into the opposition's hands when going forward.

7. We rarely if ever have loose players to kick the ball too in transition.

[McQueen 17,864]

Goodwin needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat if we’re gonna win this. Very similar game styles and the Dogs looking more composed leaving the contest.

[darkhorse72 1,916]

On the wing was a free to Gawn, chopping the arms after he grabbed it.

JKH is not up to it at AFL level, doesn’t think.

[SFebes 4,884]

JKH career over.

Kicking to too many outnumbered contests.

Our disposal by hand and foot is putrid today.

same mistakes, different week. Are they being coached?

Seen much of Carlton this year Jaded?

[bing181 9,218]

Sam Frost. Runs back to the goal and leaves Schache free: goal. Kicks to Gawn but in a 1 on 3. Johannisen clears, goal. 

If we lose this (possible), it'll be because of events like the above - and not only Frost. Just too many turnovers and sloppy disposals.

[Redleg 40,895]

Have we hit 100 turnovers yet . 

Disgraceful disposal.

[dazzledavey36 54,861]

Being smashed in clearence doesnt help either.. 

[Beetle 4,652]

We are going to need re-sleeving after we play Geelong next week.

[Wells 11 5,397]

we're def not looking like the better side. Their attacking thrusts look far faster and more dangerous. Sadly, I think we're going down here. We could lose this by 6 goals
