Mistake not having one of Brown or Weids in tonight. They are killing us in the air down back.

Yes Mitch Brown would be handy. 

[Boots and all 1,000]

Dominant for little reward. Need runners coming into the forward line for short hit ups if they are going to continue flooding back.

[drdrake 3,133]

Fritsch just wants the easy ball over the back or on a lead, doesn't like winning it himself.

We are running past the ball looking for easy touch

[praha 11,218]

Gawn absolutely pasting the defenders after that Stringer goal. Gave them a spray.

Nothing to kick to

Forward targets nowhere

kicked to a 3v1 just now and missed a target completely earlier. He's out of form.

That said our forward set-up not working first quarter

[640MD 3,327]

Viney would take a better defender as well

[Fork 'em 6,974]

Lets face it.
Delivery into the forward line has been garbage for years.
Lowered the eyes early this year but have reverted back to kicking and hoping.

[daisycutter 29,429]

forward delivery dumb.....sucks

[Deecisive 1,709]

should have played one of the browns, that way it would have taken some of the pressure of fritch having one of the best backs on him

our forwards need to defend more when essendon has the ball and running out of our defense

 

 

[McQueen 17,864]

Putting Gawn forward and bomb it in is a better chance of scoring than the current set up. 

[Brownie 5,921]

Gawn is clunking them. Move him forward and put LJ into the ruck.

[brendan 3,433]

Half way to richmonds score last night 

[layzie 33,294]

Come on Melbourne. Tweak it a little 

[WA Demon Boy 966]

Need Gawn to step up

He's been quiet the last few weeks 

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Too much room in the zone down back.  When the game's on early we should be placing max pressure on them in our 50.  Instead we're allowing them to pick their way out from the goals at will with ease.

It rarely works against teams who base their game around skills/run off HB and i don't expect it will work tonight either.

Another loss looming if Goody &  Co stick with that strat in this 2nd quarter.  They'll be up by 5 or 6 goals at half time if we do.

This was always a danger game, always a bonus if we manage to win.

[dee-tox 4,835]

Bombers playing counter attack footy. 

Make the most of our opportunities and we'll OK.

[Jaded No More 68,602]

Get absolutely [censored] Melbourne. Stringer on his own. 
We are a mess. 

[McQueen 17,864]

That’s a point

[DaveyJones'sLocker 647]

Another clanger handpass

Clearly a goal unfortunately 

[SPC 3,495]

Getting torched when they go forward. Their midfield are much better kicks

[WA Demon Boy 966]

why on earth are we so incompetent in hitting up forwards?

Operation compact the ladder in full effect.

How the [censored] can you tell with 3 frames a minute?

Goal review is a farce.
