lmao they're paying incorrect disposal now.

 

Umps gave us a couple now have gone full GWS must win.

 

Typical Melbourne as favourites performance so far

Absolute joke.

They are useless. They don’t rewrite the rules differently each week


Our kicking for goal is putrid.

 

But the umpiring is worse.

 

They can make all the rule changes they want, but I want to see star midfielders play without being flattened off the play too.

We had our opportunities and didn't capitalise. GWS gifted goals either through umpires or poor defense. A bit more polish and control of the play and things can turn quickly. We are playing right into their hands though.

That number 22 umpire always burns us

Looks like someone put Ken in the microwave 

For me, this is the difference between us and the serious contenders: Oliver had two straightforward shots on goal, Gawn one, Kozzie a fairly straightforward one - not a single goal from any of them. 

On top of that kicking into the forward line. ANB misses Tom MacD by a metre, turnover, up the other end, goal.

Lots of positives, but it's this inability to finish that costs us.

Yep and they have given him 2 chances at goal and he has botched both. 

Put Oliver in the bloody forwards line. 

very ordinary bunch ,seem happy to just show pony ,that means you oliver ,tmac runs under the ball every time,fritter not trying to grab the ball ,shocking

The MFC we all know has turned up thus far ... let’s see if anything has changed 


This commentary is just down right bogan...

When you think warning signs, you think that quarter. 

Ball spends heaps of time in our forward half but inefficiency and missed set shots mean we don’t capitalise. They break fast and score 6 times from 11 inside 50s. 

I do not like the look of this. 

 

Tbere were a lot of back slappers last week when we came back after being challenged let's see if this team really does have the right stuff

I thought we got out coached that quarter, so it will be interesting to see the response. They don’t want to kick it long as we have Lever, May and Gawn behind the play.

  • PREVIEW: Brisbnae

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
