GAMEDAY: Rd 14 vs St. Kilda

[binman 44,682]

A lot depends on this second half of football

[RedLegs23 996]

Tbh, even though we're up, it just doesn't look like the way we play.

Straight kicking & brilliance from Tracc in Qtr1 was all it was.

Could get ugly this. Let's see.

[olisik 4,060]

6-1 in centre clearances St Kildas way. Our midfielder coach is pathetic, can’t remember the last time we won the game from the midfield.

I don’t know. Why does this happen every week? Because it’s a rinse and repeat pattern. Are our players really too stupid to follow instructions? Are they deaf? Poorly coached? Blind? Dehydrated? Drunk? I mean really I’m an unfit 34 year old who has never played footy in her life and I can see it. Why can’t they? Whoever they are?

I think it is called coaching. No tactical smarts, you know there is a time and place to attack and a time late in a quarter to be defensive but we don’t have a clue. 

[spirit of norm smith 16,651]

Petracca 8 possessions. Viney 4. Brayshaw 4.  oliver 7. Wow. Very quiet. 

[Demon Dynasty 17,135]

This match us there for the taking.  It simply comes down to who wants it the most.

This will tell the tale and whether the boys really are playing to win and force their way into the eight.

If we lose i'm afraid this club will need to take a serious look at things within the FD.

How the [censored] is a dumb kick by an experienced player and concentration lapse from the mids a second later Goodwin fault!!!

ffs the anti-coach cult on this site [censored] me.

Honestly turnovers happen to every team. Even the best teams. They are annoying but it’s a game played by humans who make mistakes. 
I can forgive that but what I can’t forgive is the same horrible midfield set up that allows opposition to stream forward easily for goals every week. 

[Master Deebater 500]

 The way this is going it'll be season hopes gone.

I'm expecting a different ,stronger melbourne comes out after half time.

But no money on it

I won't argue that Jones should retire gracefully at the end of the year, but I don't think he's been THAT bad (outside of that absolute shocker of a turnover).

Sorry Wise, he's been poor. 

Harmes, surely, can do better in that spot on the ground.

[Half forward flank 1,022]

Was that just Goody intriducing himself to the players

[layzie 34,367]

Playing for the season now

[leave it to deever 17,598]

Lets not panic yet. Yes we squandered a good lead but we are still in yhis. One big 3rd quarter is all we need.

Up until the horrible turnover, Jones had actually been playing quite well.  Wagner hasn't been too bad either.

I'll give you Vanders, though.  I'm a fan but he's done nothing tonight other than setting up our third goal of the night.

Sorry Wise I’m not stalking with all the reply’s but Vanders has been average, at best all season.

Make that 7-1

[dee-tox 4,835]

There were plenty of positives with Weed, Brown, Melksham, Spargo, Petracca as well as May and Lever. Let down by midfield and stupid mistakes. Gonna taken big effort from here.

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Honestly thank god for Lever and May. 

[spirit of norm smith 16,651]

Goody wouldn’t know the term. And Harmes ain’t playing

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Here it comes.

[Buzzy 992]

Clarry going for his world record of costly turnovers

[olisik 4,060]

Goodwin is too stubborn to tag.

[dazzledavey36 55,983]

Omg [censored] me clarry...?‍♂️?‍♂️

Worst game ever in his career.

[whatwhat say what 23,607]

jog brayshaw back to his standard poor performance tonight - stands flat footed at the contest and doesn't work hard defensively whatsover

[Adam The God 30,639]

Oliver has been trash fire in this game. Worst game I've seen him play.
