Only 3 goals away.

23 inside 50s for 1 goal?

Can we pull off a miracle?  If enough of us believe we might be able to fumble the ball down our end enough to kick a winning score.

Unless this is Melbourne's version of rope-a-dope I reckon we're in trouble.

 

3rd quarter

poor handballs to no one

putting ourselves under pressure 

missed tackles

fumbles

midfielders not getting into defensive transition 

Shocking skills by foot 

COULD BE 7-8 GOALS DOWN

LEARN TO CONTROL THE BALL OUT OF DEFENCE 

Tiges will win by 37.

 

Here's a stat...first four goals from 8 inside 50's. We have scored one goal from the next 23.

Too many dumb footballers on our list. Gawn included.

Time to mix it up, TMac back up fwd, won’t win playing the way we’re going.

we must be on the peptides again.  we oughta be tested...   all of them.

Other than Maxy  ....No one is capable.of hitting a short medium target by foot coming out of defence.  ZERO control of the game through perpetual motion followed by turnover after turnover around mid field...

Chase chase chase trying to get it back...Rinse...repeat!

Weid dominating with 5 touches and no score. 

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!

He can [censored] off with his 650k

Sick of Ling’s biased commentary. Is he in the Tigers Cheer Squad? I would love us to win just to shut him up.

It’s going to get ugly in the last quarter.

Good one! I laughed out loud.

Am I completely missing something? Honestly, the conditions are perfect and we're handing the ball like a cake of soap?

I still think this is completely winnable, we were ontop for large parts that qtr, need to hit targets coming out if defence, then take the risky kick with less pressure.

1.4 in 2 quarters of football. 

In the 2nd and 3rd quarters the last 2 weeks, we've kicked 1.7.

1.7 in 4 quarters of football.

I tell you what WB, I bloody admire your optimism.

Most glaring issue this year is our inability to kick to advantage.. it is incredible. If it were 3 Dees to 1 tig, we would turn it over

We are shambles. Completely dropped off in the clearances and our backline went to water under the relentless pressure. 

We are in real trouble. We have not kicked a decent score once this year and we don’t look like coming close to it. 

We are lucky they missed a few shots. But regardless this game looks over unless we start finding some avenues to goal. 

McDonald has to go forward this quarter... no point trying to reduce a loss

I must admit, that was the most frustrating quarter of footy I've seen for a while.  That includes some of the stuff we've served up this year.

At least our defence has worked itself out it seems.  Just need the rest to jump on board.

poor across the midfield...  we need to take marks inside the square,  move the ball thru there as we attack.

Fritz is playing like he doesn't want to have the ball in his hands. He hands it off straight away to whoever is near him. Doesn't matter if it's a Melbourne player under pressure or a Richmond player or the ground. He doesn't take ownership of the ball and look for the best option. What's going on with that?
