Why is the forward line still dysfunctional by Round 16?

it really is fascinating

I’m not a fan of what Spargo did that’s borderline corruption for it to be paid HTB one minute after Toby. 

 

We're making terrible decisions. May has saved our backsides too many times already.

For the few times we've made it into the forward 50, who's taking the marks? Almost like we could do with somebody tall out there! What's the gameplan here!?

Getting smashed in the centre clearances. Also leave McDonald, fritta or Jackson in the 50 so we have a target. 

This is not top of the ladder football

Yep why do we always tap the ball behind, dominate ruckman and we hit it behind, if we don't win it gives them an easy clearance 

 

Here at the ground. We are nowhere near it. Flat as a tack. GWS will win this by at least 6 goals. Forward line is dysfunctional. Good bye top 4

 


Nibbler, Clarry and Harmes turn it over far too often and we desperately need a tall option in the fwd line.

Fox sports commentary fails to call it a duck

It's disgusting. And to cap it off, with that weasel Greene.

Why is it that we take forever to get going?

Plus our entries into 50 ?. Even a half good Brown would get the ball to ground from which our smalls could rove. FMD, it’s sooooo simples.

We take forever to get it in because we look up and see a midget fleet as our only options inside 50. Appalling non selection. Teams have worked out our game plan and we just stick to the same old stuff 

Stop blaming umpires we are have no idea how to enter the forward line we had enough entries we just waste them.


[censored] our game.  No atmosphere at all

Its pretty strange when the number one team simply cannot come out and smash a team....just ONCE

Of all our 22.. Hibbo makes me most concerned. Very nervous, fumbles and often ball watches.. need Lockhart in 

Despite my pillorying of Eddie over other matters, he is calling this game well.

Goody: Right boys, we really need to fix our mid forward connection so we need to lower our eyes when going forward.

ANB: Are we going to bring a key forward in, Goody?

Goody: We've already got him, mate. You'll be our lead up forward this week.

ANB: ?

3 highest possession winners for the quarter were defendets. Oliver ineffective.

Poorest forward connection for a top team ever. 

Gws system and connection far superior. 

 

This team is starting to remind me of the usual MFC

lost at selection table.

All the talk of defensive forwards is nice but you need to score to win

We look flat everywhere except down back.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
