Too many slow, dumb footballers in this team. How many times do we have 2-3 books going for the same ball then they get it on the outside

Happened a lot that quarter.

The big takeaway from that term is the pressure in our forward half.  We had no problems getting it in there, however our efforts once it hit the deck, and then the willingness to run defensively, was shocking.  No other way to put it.  No excuse for it either.

They made a few changes, like English up forward permanently, and it's changed their approach entirely.  

Obviously the game is over but I'm interested to see the response in this last term.

When other teams get clearances against us, they waltz it out.

And the defence from our forwards has been disgusting.

Hate to make excuses but they are getting every lucky bounce and rebound possible

Nothing to do with luck. They are making their own luck but winning the ball, spreading hard, attacking contests. We are standing still. We have made no moves to stop their most damaging players. Goodwin is so happy to drop Jetta and let Harmes and Melksham stink it up for weeks on end. 
Pickett has given us nothing and keeps getting rewarded. This season is just another waste of time.

Embarrassing and potentially season destroying quarter against a team who isn't even that good.

False sense of security from 3 wins against trash.

That's where we are at.

Also, Trengove speaks incredibly slowly ?

We are no good under real pressure.

It happens time and time again

Reminds me of the Collingwood game of 2017.

When stakes are high and the opportunity is right in front of us to grab, we simply fail.

What a disgraceful absence of leadership both on and off the field.

Melksham giving away a putrid 50 is all I'll remember from this game.

Our team defence was absolutely destroyed that quarter. Our back 6 have been good all game. What does that tell you....?

That in a head to head between coaches and game styles we just got out scored by 6 goals in a short quarter, and didn’t respond.

Please can Goodwin go. He’s simply got no plan B, and isn’t creative.

Bevo: Sets the theme of the game, has the players up and about, makes moves that give them huge momentum.

Goody: Corporate speak and crossed arms.

Our set up from the start of this game was terrible and it hasn’t changed. We can’t fix the centre taps, the clearances, nor around the ground, they kick out with such ease I’m sure they aren’t even trying anymore.


Posted

As soon we we were put under any pressure all our mids go back to trying to win the same ball and leave them the outlets. They have just shown why we still need 2-3 good runners on the outside. Still had chances that quarter but Melksham, Fritsch and Sparrow unable to take them. Lets see if we drop our heads or have a crack still in the last.

This is a genuine finals team, rested, healthy.

This is the real Melbourne.

Sorry, folks.

Agree beat two crap teams and Pies who were cooked. Dogs have loose players everywhere. We are bottom 8 at best. Good team don’t have goalless qtrs

If the dogs have extras down back you either have to kick it deep to the pockets or hit up short targets. So many of the dogs attacks began from kicks to the danger zone, 30 metres out dead infront.

Never mind, our last quarter fitness is sure to save us !!!!

Watch us eek out a stalemate in the last. Boys must’ve thought it’d just happen, like it did the last 3 games

That quarter summed up in the last 10 seconds. Hannan free in the 50, Weiderman turns around and kicks it straight to a dogs player. 

yep. Hilarious 

Another season wasted in one shocking qtr of footy.

Posted

Well it was good to see the boys dig in and show some fight when things started going against us.

This group is exactly what we know they are...not bad when things are going ok and [censored] terrible when put under some pressure.

Failed test. Did not deserve finals after Port debacle and proved today that we are nowhere near up to it anyway.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
