GAME DAY: Melbourne vs Richmond - JLT #1

[Sir Why You Little 34,941]

Some players are having bad games. 

Good. It gives them focus to train out those deficiencies in the coming weeks. 

Video to be studied very closely.

He’ll struggle to get a game this year.

I feel like he'll be on the bubble every game, but won't get dropped once injuries start.

I’m more interested as to who is his opponent....

Preuss and Weideman from what I could tell.

Just now, Watts the matter said:

Brayshaw probably to the main offender, which is annoying because he is a ball magnet.

Yes, his disposal hasn't been good so far today, but I'll put it down more to it being the first half of real competitive footy for the year than anything else.  His disposal isn't always that flash regardless.

The Wagners and Hore don’t look up to it.

I thought Hore looked alright myself.

Don’t get too carried away. Tiring conditions and early days

They are playing in the same conditions.

Tom Sparrow and Keilty 0 mins that quarter,... interesting

Yeah they’re only playing the second half

ANB also very ordinary 

You are just realising that now?

[defuture15 856]

Richmond winning in the air and on the ground. Who is 38 for them? Killing us in the air.

Is number 34 for us Hore?

He has done ok INHO.

Poor disposal from gus, nibbler, JKH and stretch hurt us.

RIchmond spread brilliantly and opened us up. 

I have not seen Dusty up close before. I now see why he is so hard to stop!

[Pipefitter 2,042]

I blame that quarter on Gary Pert.

And Jack Watts.

[Vineytime 784]

Petty looks very promising, tough and doesn’t panic. 

[ProperDee 1,698]

Steady on guys. Even Winx gets beaten in barrier trials!

They moved dusty onto the ball that quarter and the whole game changed immediately. 

[whatwhat say what 19,725]

that midfield combo of oliver, brayshaw, and harmes with trac and salem coming in would have to be one of the most exciting group of 21-23 year old mids i've seen

shame gus can't hit a target and trac can't kick a set shot

they're basically full strength, and when they had the centre square combo of martin, cotchin, prestia plus titch edwards coming in they were so much stronger than the group that we had up against em, which at one stage seemed to include stretch and jkh

And for all that, we're on level terms at half time.  Funny that.

[Ethan Tremblay 28,544]

Who would have thought that playing two Wagners wouldn’t cancel each other out? 

Petty looks promising. 

Oliver quite possibly could be the GOAT.

FMD!! I'm reading some negative [censored]. It's half time in a [censored] JLT match FFS .Settle down lads.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Just wait till we add Viney back into the midfield mix with Gawn knocking it down they're throats.  It will be orgasmic to watch.

[defuture15 856]

I had a feeling that the rotations through the midfield were biting us.

Richmond were doing their flood dump kick attack that quarter.

Weeds seemed to get caught under the ball a few times.

We need that tall option to take the contested marks

[Sir Why You Little 34,941]

Time to rotate the bench

Hot day....

[sisso 2,402]

We’ve shown lots of promise for an exciting season ahead for mine

Bit bitter but optimistic, wouldn't you say?

There wasn't much else to say about the second quarter. Just sucked. Nothing much more you can say. Noones slitting wrists.

[hemingway 7,601]

IDees very ragged and being belted at ground level. And sorry  to say but Petracca looks slow, overweight and not that interested.
