a lot of positives so far tonight, playing well as a team. poor disposals are still there but not as many and not hurting us as badly as past weeks.  we certainly in with a chance regardless of the umpires.

Petty looks a player. Hasn't done much but a good intercept Mark and a few spoils nice size looks composed..

Cannot believe the posters saying we’re in this....... especially at times when we are in front! WTF 

tidy up some goal kicking and fwd 50 entries and we are 5 goals up. Not in the bag yet but sheesh we are killing it over there

We went in undercooked this year but I wasn’t expecting it to include the coaching staff.

They’ve evolved.

Lacking the polish that would have us almost home

But loving the aggressive movement through the middle

This is what I don’t understand, how isn’t this addressed, Carey, BT, Dunstall have all spotted the issue, yet he’s shanking them left and right every week.

 

Trac needs to chat to a specialist goal kicking coach, clearly Melbourne don’t have one.....

No he needs to see a psychologist. This is purely mental. He is terrified of missing and you can see it clearly in his face.

Ok we are still in front, they are potentially 2 down. We need to take advantage of that. I like our run and play on but sometimes I feel we are doing one to many handballs where we should just be getting it long. 

I like how Baker went in to stand up for harmes in that quarter. 

If we can get 2 or 3 goals from Trac and Tommy finds his 1st quarter form we can hold on. 

Maxy is rucking brilliantly. 

Come on dees we can do this.

Needs to talk to Russell Robertson. I remember he went through a similar faze earlier on in his career, fixed it up and become one of our most accurate kicks for goal.

We lost our energy after that small break in play. Hopefully we can capitalise this qtr

100%

from memory he lowered his ball drop, learned to take a big breath before beginning his approach, and relax then kick through it

Couldn’t hurt as he is putrid at the moment. Makes Casboult look like a dead eye.

Trac is a good long kick. 

But his kicking for goal whether from a mark or snapping or on the run is horrible. He needs help

Incidentally, Elliot Yeo is up to ten tackles at half time.  Say what you will about his ducking cheating rubbish wehn he has the ball, he's putting in the effort. 

I hope one day he ducks and someone actually really hurts him. Cheat!

I love the way we are playing this game. I like the games of Baker, Petty and also T. Smith.

Come on Melbourne 

Love this club.

How come no free kick for Maxy?

Can we just kick a set shot. 

Wc booing is just incessant. 

So hope we win.

Stretch's kicking inside 50 ....blah !!!   TRAC THAT IS [censored] RUBBISH!!!!

I don’t think we’ll win this but this has been reassuring. May Lever Jetta melk Hannan and we’re back

OTOH please can we get pe-trarckarh’s kicking sorted 

YES, Jeffy! GREAT PLAY!
