Jibroni 5,056 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Brisbane far too good and we have a lot of work to do. A functioning FORWARD LINE would be a good start.
DaveyJones'sLocker 647 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Time to give pickett a rest , keeps going to ground softly and it’s starting to become costly
BDA 23,048 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Few positives there other than we're only 20 points down. The Lions are by far the better team. Tackling, marking, kicking, clearances. better in every department Not sure what Goody can do other than give everyone a spray 4
layzie 34,527 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 A real cream puff effort that from the Dees. Don't see any evidence that the narrative will change, its a hard game by the look of it. So hard that our 1 wood contested ball is nowhere to be seen. Lions working much harder. Can it turnaround? Yes, but right now there are way too many passengers. 2

That’s the issue right there. Yep, our mids have been [censored] insipid tonight. Oliver is unsighted. And sorry to say but a decades long Achilles heel has been brought to the fore tonight. We lack the mongrel to deal with a pack of dirty bastards like the Lions. 1

Tommy and weid need to forget that first half and rebound quickly. Weid should just stay in the goal line and take one of their defenders out of the contest. Can't do anything else.
bobby1554 1,272 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 We just have too many ordinary footballers. No way we are winning a flag this year. Typical Melbourne, pump up your tyres, then deflate you when the crunch comes. So disappointing. 1

Devil In Disguise 2,284 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Oliver on Neal at centre bounces is a huge failure. Move Harmes onto Neal FFS. 5
Tom Dyson 1,645 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Commentary team barracking for Brisbane is really starting to annoy. 1

Jaded No More 68,976 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 We should be 6 goals down. Very very lucky Hipwood hit the post twice. 2
Earl Hood 6,167 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Second half if we don’t take charge of the centre clearances this will turn ugly. Get control of the centre and we can get back in this. It has been an issue this year against lesser sides but we could rebound off half back but won’t work against this mob while every bounce is going their way. 2 1

Stevienic23 1,185 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 * - 14 inside 50s * - 11 contested possessions * - 8 clearances This has real potential of a blowout 1
Canplay 635 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Melb lacking heat - playing for free kicks and lacking pressure required..... only upside is we’ve so many players doing nothing that we’ve got upside!!
Adam The God 30,706 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Brisbane have played exactly how they would have wanted to. Everyone in the game but Charlie Cameron for them. All their prime movers, but we have been dreadful. Absolutely dreadful. In D50, we haven't won any contests (Brisbane's strength). We've spoiled each other when we should have marked, so communication is poor. Our mids and forwards have let them waltz the ball inside D50. There was a play towards the end of the second quarter there, where they went to the right wing and then did an easy switch back to the left wing, nothing fancy. All the Brisbane players were set up there and with no pressure, Neale kicked it long to Hipwood who marked. Terrible defensive transition. The Melbourne of old. We're not on and we don't look like getting near them. Unless Brisbane stop and we suddenly start working harder, this game is over at half time. 2

stranga 328 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Lions a class above. Too good. We are off on pressure and our midfield is a real worry. No Oliver no melbourne. Langdon's importance to the team can't be underestimated 1
DubDee 26,655 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Really, you guys reckon the umpires are the problem? we are getting played off the park 6
cookieboc 780 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 they are well organised. We are worried about their tall forwards, doesn't help when they are isolating/ blocking Lever at every chance. they were running in numbers at the end of the Q there lining up to kick goals Haven't played on our terms at all. if they don't reset it will be 50 points
Demon Dynasty 17,162 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Melk to HF. Kozzie into the middle. Sparrow to the bench. Weid up the ground. T-mac to CHF. BB was a much better option deep tonight vs Weid and should be the go to out of the two from here. Would much rather have Baker in for the run on one wing. We have zero run / link up happening and transition is far too slow. Is Harmes playing on Neale?

The challenge is to keep it as a "close loss" 1
