Put Spargo and ANB in the midfield. At least they give us pressure and Spargo at least runs both ways.

This is what happens when you dont recruit speed over the summer.

Currently [censored]

We look stuffed and unfit. 

Its the first game of the season and we look done. 

one scoring shot in the last 30 minutes... not good enough to say the least

I don't think it has anything to do with speed, dazzle.  It's more to do with workrate.  Lots of commentary around how we're coming off stuffed, while Port come off looking fresh and ready to roll.  At the moment we don't have the legs to run with them, speed or not.  That's a worrying sign.

Since ANB missed that second shot in goal we’ve been putrid.

[censored] pathetic Melbourne! Nothing has changed over the summer!

We are so slow and have gone into survival mode.

Why is Viney playing if he can’t get around the ground? 3 touches and 1 tackle.

lol calm down

Dursma should be playing in red and blue

Good composure from Wagner there.  

And Trac kicking a set shot?  Is that a good sign?

How many hearts were in mouths just then?

Wagner has been pretty good

We look like a rabble. 

Josh Wagner playing a good game.

He has certainly shown that he could play more senior footy, and good senior footy, for us this year.

The entire team are being bullied by little kids. WTF is going on ?‍♂️

Should have played Pruess if not just to belt them.

at least we are scoring.. at this stage I'll take those two behinds as positives

their transition out of defense is destroying us. people say speed or lack thereof is our Achilles heal. It's not. The MCG is.

sounds more like the problems of last year where for most of the season we pushed our zone too deep

Getting bullied and killed on the outside by a bunch of [censored] kids!

For how poor that second quarter was, outside of the last 5 minutes or so, we're still just 3 points down.  There is an absolute bucketload of improvement still to come from a variety of players, and a bake from Goody will surely rev them up a little.

Their transition from defence has been terrific we we've generally had no answer for it.  We will need to find that answer quickly, otherwise we will find ourselves in a hole we can't dig ourselves out of.

Salem has been excellent across half back, Fritsch is an absolute gun and Melksham is such a good player.

We need Viney to life, Trac to get involved and to fire up as a whole for the second half.
