No Hogan, no Melbourne.

McDonald has no idea what he's doing. He's either behind the defender, standing still or no where near it. How hard is it to lead towards the ball carrier? How hard is it to make a contest and bring the ball to ground.

Apologies to his brother but Keilty has been horrible. Preuss should have been played. Worst forward line ever.

From reports, Preuss has had lingering injury problems, thus VFL to get it all sorted. Presumably right for selection next week.

No matter what, Goodwin refuses to play man on man. We must always leave a player loose in our back half, which makes our forwardline constantly outnumbered and playing 2 on 1.

When will we learn that without proper numbers up forward we can’t influence the scoreboard, no matter how many times we bomb it in there? 

We cannot hit a target sure, but TMac is always playing on two defenders. And Garlett gets the ball kicked over his head and there are two loose GC players. We have no chance because we are conceding a forward. 

This is all about skills. I actually think we’re moving to the right spots but genuinely think we have the worst skills in the comp right now.

And after all that we are actually in front !!!

Never seen such a huge drop off in form from one season to the next as Tom mcDonald

You cant blame Goodwin for this.

Its just an absolute ****storm of errors from us.

Kicks over heads, handballs to players under pressure, inability to take a simply grab, fumbling over and over.

Thats not the coach. That poor skills and zero confidence.

What has happened to this team? They have forgotten how to play football.

Melbourne have been bad, but posts like this are just pathetic. Hope you feel better attacking someone through the anonymity of the internet. 

I guess that’s fair, it’s a rough call and A little over the top, but I can’t think of anyone who has had a less impressive 2 games. Good on him for making it and he will have a great local football career but realistically he’s not up to it. 

Good contribution, really helps the chat about the game. I hope you feel better anonymously attacking someone through the anonymity of the internet

 

 

Viney has an obsession with handballing it to the ground

We made and won finals without him. He isn’t the reason we can’t win a game.

Imagine being a forward with kicking like ours tho

Prediction: We will come out firing, hit a few targets, score 4.6 for the quarter to their 2.2, before GC go on to kick 5.0 to 2.7 in the last.

More lacklustre football and I'm not just potting Melbourne here this is a league thing. Between the arcs we look good but can't nail the kick into the 50. That sentence defines the league right now. 

what shamebles

Well, there's an hour of my life I'm never getting back.

Wish I'd done something more enjoyable like scrub the toilet or clean up the dog poo from the garden. 

Embarrassing. 

A better team would be beating us by 6 goals

Yeah but I think not replacing him is a massive reason why our forward line is so disfunctional.

But in all seriousness, we're really missing Hannan's link up IMO.

Really, though? We are dominating everywhere but the score, and actually defending well. 

Not sure that Hunt is a forward. He has the speed but he doesn't know what to do with it, especially up forward where you have to make the play.

It might help if we stopped kicking to him as a 6”4 forward and not a crumbing forward.  Give the bloke a chance...
