Soft and lazy. He has always been like that though

He doesn’t lead he hangs around for cheap kicks and that is melksham turf

You folks bagging Viney, he is having a poor game but last week he was clearly our best. 20 contested possessions and 7 clearances when it was too hard for everyone else. 

He needs to improve his decision making but his effort is unconditional which was our major issue the last two weeks. To trade him would be disastrous. If he wants to leave as he plays with people who pick and choose when to go, I wouldn’t hold it against him

if we had more players with vineys attitude we would not drop games like Sydney and Freo 

At 26 he will not improve his decision making nor will he suddenly play first option selfless football. Goes hard which is important but that’s it.

Yep and when Kossie get a chance of a snap - ‘this is what he loves‘...or ‘look at how great Kelly glides across the ground’. That kind of commentary  is fawning crap. They should just call the game

Reminds me of the absolute commentary box circle jerk whenever James Hird would do one basic thing.

Ling's umpiring criticism is something (shady) missed against us?! No mention of anything else whatsoever. But apparently the game has had some "big hits". All Mummy no doubt. Coked up thug.

Ling's a goose.

Understatement. 
 

If we all can see it, I don’t know why they don’t call it out. There has to be media training that explicitly says not to comment.

I have no ideas as to why they wouldn’t otherwise.

You almost contradict yourself a little there, mate.

On one hand you say Max got slaughtered in those last 10 minutes, which you seem to hint had a direct impact on their late dominance.  But then you say the position is overrated.  

By your logic, if Max stays on top, we do and as a result we play good footy... which would suggest it isn't overrated.

That's fair.

Max was slaughtered in the ruck and around the ground in the last 5-10 minutes of that quarter. Turned the game.

He's playing on a guy who is 83.

I'll say it again. The ruck position is hugely overrated.

Max needs to stand up. He is allowing himself to be physically dominated and it's impacting the game. Instead of bleating to the umps, next centre bounce he should plant a knee straight into Mumford's solar plexus. Even if it costs a free. But at least it shows he won't be intimidated

Maxxy needs to work on his kicking.

Ditto Fritter.

Max needs to work in his decision making. He is never going to improve his kicking

The goals from turnovers absolutely kill you. We have had plenty of them tonight. 

May is bog. Lever solid

baker, Pickett, rivers, three young players having hood games

get it done demons. 

Mummy is threatening to take this game from us. Who is gonna stand up against him.

Maaatteee how does he teach Viney to use his brain, Gawn and Lever to not turn it over under zero pressure, umpire 22 (I think) to stop being a terrible umpire? The game plan has been working. 

Fair call mate but the run was really against us that quarter. Most coaches have a strategy to slow down the other team...I just don’t see any moves to try anything after the game starts...except say May forward which is frankly a dumb as hell move

Stop bagging the players!!!!! Bloiidy keyboard heros. They are all having a go

It was a legit error. Milkshake also threw the ball about 20 metres and wasn’t pinged and Whitfield wasn’t paid an i50 mark that (I think) was there. So we are possibly 2 goals better off from umpiring mistakes ourselves. It’s not as big a factor as our inability to win clearances when the pressure is on.

At one stage Melksham actually got out of the way of the GWS player with the ball instead of tackling him.

Jack Viney doing his best Dom Tyson impersonation tonight. Will he ever learn.

As good and bad as we have played this game we are still in with a chance to win. Just a matter if these guys have the balls to step up. Also depends on how hard mummy continues to belt our players. Kind of reminds me of big Carl’s last game 

melk and lever can both go

wrong. he has this trend in his game which is very costly. it costs us every week. I'm always yelling at him to get rid of the bloody ball and he just gets into more and more trouble. stupid footballer that tries hard. trade or delist

Lever solid? He's been the worst on ground.

Actually watch the game Dub....

On the positive side.

Its all a restart so lets go again how we began.

Pickett looks really good.

Maybe the umpires will stop stooping us.

They are having a go, i agree. and its a good response, but leaders continually make mad decisions it doesnt help. the 4 in our leadership team have been awful.

[censored] Darcy on 7 there's being some big hits. Yeh right, downright thuggery.

All of them, Brayshaw and richo too.

Thumps Max in the back of the head. On report for something against fritsch, round arm to Oliver's head. And that's just what we saw.

And those three clowns nostagigcally celebrate Mumford's thuggery as if it is still 1975. 

It really is a joke and completely not on. Tbey are glorifying violence.

Lever had a shocker of a turnover, no doubt about that.

But he hasn't been beaten one on one and has spoiled numerous entries by getting to the right positions.  

Give it away. He has been simply awful

vdB’s task for the rest of the game - take Mumford out. If suspended, so be it.
