Frost - no spacial awareness.

Frost - no more please...

Please Frost lovers do you finally understand why we can't carry him any longer...of course he wasn't on his own today but between him and Oscar we need May back asap...

Lever - Come back soon

Melbourne need Frost and Hunt more than you know.

We are still slow and one-paced.  6/6/6 might make our plight worse.

 

Brayshaw - Our best today

 

Spago - Casey Casey Casey

Rucks - 5 metres behind (at boundary throw ins)

Kick ins - Far too safe

Uncontested possessions - We got obliterated

Neal- Bullen - Tackled O K

Jack Watts - Good on him 

Jack Viney - Limped off last week at Casey.  Was limping today.  Why the hell was he picked.  Either the medical staff got it wrong or Viney is wagging the dog.

 

Did the West Coast game expose us?  I read Goodwin saw it as our off-day and never reviewed it.  Scratched my head about this all summer.  Fox Footy reckoned Lycett would have been hauled into Match Committe to discuss last years’s PF.

 

 

Get ready for the opposition to really expose or one-paced brigade.  They will stretch us wide, and accumulate uncontested possession.

    Thought you were very rough on Wagner Praha.

    At least he chased aplied some pressure on the ball carrier in our front half. On today's performance i 'd drop Spargo way before i would Wagner.

    I know we need some pace in the team 'TGR'  but Frost isn't the answer.

    He's fast of foot but slow of brain and got caught out of position or caught running into opponents time and again.

    The worst thing Spargo did was that handball over the top to Melksham for a goal.

    If an AFL footballer can’t kick a goal from 20 metres out ditrectly in front then he needs to give the game away.

    Yes, Melksham kicked the goal but it created a risk of a turnover that should never happen for what should be a guaranteed set shot goal.

    So i take it there is absolutely no point in watching what transpired today. Thank god we won our Cricket Semi final today.

    Is this the Reality check we needed?

    Trac needs to go to Cassey, for a few weeks, he just not doing enough.

    Doubt it . Viney, Jones, ANB, Spargo, Frost,  Hore, McDonald ( both) are ahead of him in the queue. No goals Jones, ANB,Spargo- joke.

    MFC - Very bad day

    Team ball movement- slow slow slow 

    Kicking out - slow, short, poor

    Not so good:

    Viney, Gawn, Oliver, Harmes, Jetta, TMac, Hibberd, Petracca - well below average ok

    Jones - will not chase (did not mark!), end is near!

    Frost - replace with May

    OMac - was no Mac

    Spargo - brushed aside easily, at least smart

    ANB - missed two & disappeared

    Fritsch - a bit spasmodic 

    Weid - not his best (no easy possessions, slow ball movement, into forward line)

    Showed something:

    Hunt - had one crack

    Newbies:

    Hore - looked very slow, out of position, replace with anyone

    Wagner - had a crack

    Sparrow - some good signs

    The Good

    Salem - a class act

    Melksham - forward line spark

    Normally don’t bother with player summary but found it cathartic!

    Shocker of a performance, hopefully can only get better,  roll on round 2!

    It's much, much worse than a reality check.

    Viney - was surprisingly quiet

    Jones - mistake after mistake

    Salem - holds head high

    Jetta - some silly frees

    Hibberd - just another game

    O. McDonald - misjudges the flight

    Frost - tried but failed

    Petracca - missing persons unit

    T. McDonald - only good early

    Weidemann - was good early

    Spargo - slow forward pocket

    Oliver - screwed my dreamteam

    Brayshaw - good then faded

    Harmes - should've tagged rockliff

    Gawn - Clumsy and slow 

    Hunt - one good run

    Neal-Bullen - costly early misses

    Sparrow - ball drop though?

     Fritsch - must go forward

    Melksham - too team oriented

    Hore - just a player

    Wagner - just a player

    A reality check in that we are no where near fit enough. How can we not score a point in the last quarter?

    F$%# me sideways.

    Until yesterday I was prepared to be lenient. I thought he may develop into a player.

    But....well....dumb is ....dumb......is costly.

    Experiment over.

    Thanks D......Someone explain to me why, with the new rule on 'kick outs' why the coach wouldn't have some sort of game plan to utilize the extra distance you can cover, instead of going short & trying to pinpoint players? Watched a few games on the telly this weekend & a lot of teams trying to kick over that HB line to the centreline.....

    Surely that would have some merit, or is that too obvious?

    F$%# me sideways.

    I believe our preseason is based on going through a long season into September.

    In other words our older players should be going into the start of season just a tad underdone, and find match fitness as they build into the season, otherwise they could be burnt out in Spring.

    Our younger players should be fitter than Jones and Co, but many had operations to work through.   So they will also be finding match fitness during the season.

    This in turn puts pressure on our forwards and our defenders.

    We need gut runners atmo, and the loss of JKH',  imo is hurting, at the moment.

     

    The only others I can see realistically, to help with spread and some speed,  are Jordan and Lockhart.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
