The last one was just as much Lever, a free run as third man up and missed the ball.

100% this. Does this often too

Goodwin at HT said we needed to be brave with the ball, not boring.

Either he didn't tell the players that, or they just were unwilling or incapable of trying it.

We didn't appear to even try to move the ball anywhere other than down the wing.

Just before the second Walters goal, Gawn took consecutive intercept marks. Both times, the only place he properly looked was the wing. Both times, he kicked to Pickett.

Our ball movement plan tonight has been appalling, absolutely appalling.

Yes I was screaming at him to switch play although on TV you can only assume there is someone there but this is MFC so no guarantee on that. The wife came in to see why I was yelling by the way! Dumb football, yes we may have 30 dumb footballers but I am looking at the coach!

I know hes only young but if Pickett cant take those chances when they come hes not going offer much. Missed 2 early against the Dogs as well and it jist kills us.

Spends it too soon.

Oh wait ....

Freo are better than that

Roos chose Goodwin as his successor.

Smith 2 disposals, 0 marks, 1 tackle.

Hibberd 4 disposals, 0 marks, 0 tackles.

Bedford 4 disposals, 1 tackle.

PIckett 5 disposals, 1 tackle.

Hunt 6 disposals, 0 tackles.

Hibberd was limping at the end of the third term.  Should never have played.

[monoccular 17,760]

OMG. Just checked the scores for the first time.

What a horrible score in another “must win” game. 

[whitito 187]

Up the middle! Up the middle! 

[dazzledavey36 56,347]

Risk and kick out only to to kick it to a 170cm forward?‍♂️

Have a good summer folks. See you in 2021 for what is probably us on the decline ready for the next rebuild. 
 

There is no promise in this team. Nothing. 

No upside when nobody can kick.  Diabolical recruiting.

Rivers is a nice one to start the rebuild with though.

 

[Gunna’s 2,107]

I can’t believe none of our mids have received a fee for being held before taking possession when they have received plenty when in control of the ball and it spills out. Double standards

[Wiseblood 24,637]

I like Trent Rivers more and more each week.

Melb: 4 x Fumbles

Freo: 4 x Handball hit targets

Take risks... Frittata down the line to Gawn 3 on 1 on the boundary.

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Is anyone playing on Mandy? 

[—coach— 3,496]

Damn I hope we don’t coach the natural instinct out of Rivers

a team with the season on the line and this is what we dish up

For the 2nd time in 2 weeks we play a bottom 5 side and get comprehensively outcoached  outclassed and well beaten.

Good job Simon. If you had any integrity you would resign straight after this game.

And don't forget 2017 v collingwood who were 14th. We didn't lay a tackle inside the first 20 minutes we anted the win so bad.

 

[Buzzy 992]

Hoges still has that Melbourne DNA ?

Serong 17 touches 5 tackles. Shame we traded the pick away and took Pickett. Going to hurt that trade

Pickett. FFS. Absolutely useless

Very poor conditions for our two games up here. Very poor scheduling by the afl. Muppets

Our opponents did what was necessary 

Stop with the excuses. 
That’s the problem. These people don’t like hard work
