Mark Neeld called. He wants the return of his game plan. 

 

Hey we are still right in this. Reading this thread you would think we are 35pts down.........

He has been rusty. He would have been rusty even after 3 games in the VFL. It takes time to adjust to the pace of the game when you’ve missed 11 weeks. He did some good things and stuffed up a handball. Hardly alone. 


I think 6 points down is a great result tbh. Dogs spent a lot of tickets that quarter for next to no reward.

Come on, we got this

I know I'm normally a merchant of negativity around here but I think we have done well to curb their pace and spread. 

We could win this but likely won’t. We’ve got way too many passengers out there. The likes of Hannan, Nibbler, Dunkley, Jetta, Brayshaw have all been subpar. 

Hopefully pick 2-3 this year is a ripper for us!

 

Sam Frost is clearly our best defender this game. Without him we'd be stuffed.


We look stuffed and we know we can’t win a last quarter. They are a man down which may help. But if they stop peppering the goals we lose by 30 points.

Jaded I saw you post earlier he had been good. He was a libaility in the first quarter and shocking again that quarter. Has looked very slow today and with his prior form this season probably should have come through the vfl.

I was laughing at the idiots suggesting we needed a rebuild . . . But . . . We drafted a hell of a lot of "see ball get ball" types that also happen to be dumb. The runners at least used to help these players setup properly and identify trends. We're absolutely cooked now without them. I was wrong.

defensively we've been great all day. possession alone isn't a good indicator. they've rushed forward a number of times and our defensive pressure has been superb.

They kept us in it, surely we don’t produce another woeful quarter like that to finish off. Fumble after fumble, no crumbing at all when the ball hits the deck.

Tell him he can have it as soon as he returns the reality bus.

I think Jetta is very close to finished actually.

We'll win this. Has that feel to it. (ready to be bombarded)

I know it's hard with all the folk out. But fmd we need to be better. There is no evidence of a plan for inside 50. It's a mess. Surely by now the forwards would be able to separate in the arc, and have some leading patterns that create space ... it's a mess. 

99.999% of my family & friends have seen a flag in their life!

Myself & the my Saints mate will never see one!

He has been no better or worse than Lever and May who have both done SFA

Gee I hope so seeing we are playing about 5 men down. Is Hannan, Hunt, ANB, Pruess and Jetta playing? You wouldn't think so and throw in Jones. How we are only a goal down has me beat. Then again miracles can happen and we come home with a wet sail.

Surely someone has to put the clamp on Dunkley.

The Lewis in the middle experiment is done

Some of these Bulldogs players need to learn the rules as well. First class whingers. And several of them need hair cuts. So ugly.

Agree - as I mentioned earlier they cannot have any friends and obviously not a partner.

we are lucky to be so close when we played so very badly. I just wish our players could learn how to cover their man, chase and occasionally tackle to opposition when they have the ball. still in it but quite frankly we do not deserve to win this with the [censored] poor display we have shown so far. still we have lost those we should have won, i am happy to take the points for one we dont deserve to win, if they can pull themselves together.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
