GAMEDAY - Preliminary Final vs Eagles

Featured Replies

Its the mad booing for no reason that mnakes me totally hate thi s club.

I want to see some tackles from us that smash them so they wont win a flag.

 

Yeah think this one is all but over 

Jones, Viney -  Jesus!

 

Done with this game. Gil has ruined any integrity the AFL had left and We are so far from handling the moment it’s scary. Big concerns 

What the hell is our midfield doing? What the hell is our forward line doing? We could not be playing worse. 

The style of football we played against Geelong has dissipated. What's happened to the chaos game? Not gutted but I'm very disappointed. This is a repeat of what Richmond did last night. 


The only positives are they think they’ve won 

and  4.8 

 

could have been worse

Nup. Everyone nervous. Jordie slow as molasses. The run is over. 

Would be surprised if we got closer than 70 points. 

That’s was the worst 1st quarter I’ve seen in years

 

Playing like schoolboys.  Lucky we are not further back.  Time to settle, and get some composure. They are keeping it simple and we are fumbling and turning everything over.  We are not sticking our tackles or winning the contested ball.  Isa at our worst.


How is that incompetent onthetake bald [censored] Nichols umpiring in the finals?

Rattled, not handling the pressure.

The great news is that we actually can't play worse than this. Right?

How eerily similar is this to last night?

We have just got to come out firing and keep things simple. No more fancy crap. Just work hard and execute passes!


Shut up Nicholls you f'n dud.

Was a pathetic quarter. They looked extremely anxious and continually panicked, so whatever was said before the game hasn’t worked.

good thing is there are still 3 quarters to go, bad thing is there is still 3 quarters to go

Eagles not playing especially well. When you are under no pressure and you handball to a teammate's feet in the middle of the ground, the opposition will score.

We are playing selfish and lazy football, and not respecting WC.

We need a refresh. Not a single standout. Keeping Tyson in over Fritsch in dry conditions was a shocking oversight. Not the cause of all our problems but a catalyst in their first three.


This is why I was banging on and on about making the 4. Once we missed the 4 it was up to luck. Unfortunately for us we drew West Coast over there. I lived in WA for a decade and I knew this game was always going to be mission impossible. Next year we need to make the 4 and play these finals at the G. That is the only way. I think the only side I have seen in my time that could win today is the Brisbane side of Voss, Black, Aker and Lappin. Perhaps Essendon's 2000 side as well.

Face it guys, we are fumbly and have not settled one bit, the Eagles are playing bloody good football by taking our mistakes and moving it forward. The only saving grace is it isn’t a 10 goal lead for them at qtr time.

Unfortunately this team is not ready for a GF. Really need to target a classy ball user to play on the wing in the offseason.

 

Just look nervous, silly fumbles, missed handballs and targets. We just need to kick a goal to settle back in. Plenty of time to come back from this.

    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.
