GAMEDAY: Practice Match vs Richmond

[JimmyGadson 3,455]

Three key position Melbourne players fly for the same ball.

As the great philosopher Dr Dre once said, "some things never change".

[Demonland 73,140]

Kicking out of defence is woeful. 

[whatwhat say what 22,948]

do we not have anyone who can rove off a pack? they've kicked at least two goals from players swooping on to loose balls

[Demonland 73,140]

We can't hit a target. 

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

Our kicking skills are still woeful

[Kent 2,914]

Nothing has changed poor kicking poor decision making shambles of a forward line

Ohh dear

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Fallen apart quicker than a Trump election lawsuit. 

[640MD 3,429]

very very ordinary, gunna be a loong year

[Demonland 73,140]

TMac's clunking them today. 

[kieranbj 111]

That was a huge clunk from Jacko.

TMac look pretty good. 

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Tmac looks good. But that kick. Jesus! 

[Cyclops 511]

 Cannot hit targets. Que Sera

We are playing the best team in the competition. And we are missing our entire tall forward line. It’s not exactly time to hang up the boots for 2021. 
 

Also we are taking the [censored] with some of our set ups. The last Centre bounce had ANB, JJ and some new kid I barely know. So clearly we are not trying too hard.

Richmond seem to have very good awareness of where their teammates are, or perhaps where they are supposed to be.

When we get the ball, you have absolutely no idea what will happen

Premiership ball use against 2nd rate poor disposal. Same problem we have had for years.

Sorry it is not poor it is terrible.

We are giving them the ball at every opportunity.

Skills always going to be iffy in an early hit out like this but our ability to contain small/mobile forward lines remains a huge concern... based on this performance it doesn’t look like we did enough in the pre-season to address this

[binman 43,778]

Their goals have come from:

turnovers from rubbish kicks.

And small/medium forwards. 

Some things never change.

Gawn is having a stinker 

[JimmyGadson 3,455]

The way they just transitioned one end to the other ending in a Caddy goal is the difference.

Cotchin's hands in traffic is what broke them open. Compare that to fumbles Harmes who just coughs it up too often.

Then Riewoldt's ability to handball long and wide into space.

We haven't changed our list enough over the years. We haven't addressed our poor execution issue from a list perspective.

It is simply the same same. 

Practice match or not.

Execution and decision making is poor but I think they may be side effects from leather poisoning 

[Demonland 73,140]

We simply cannot hit a target out of defence. Turnovers galore.

Keep living in lala land.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Why can’t we kick? Why? It’s so frustrating. Our ball use is total horse****.

On form today, Jones does not get to 300.
