If we win from here we are the real deal   but worried

 

We wont win this and our excellent start has just gone down the toilet. So too has us doing any good in Sept. Premiership aspirants DONT Lose games to Adelaide,Collingwood and now Gws! Players drinking their iwn bathwater and Goodwin failing to select BB was disaster waiting to happen

    Difficult to see on TV but The expert comments are saying we are playing a 7 man defence giving GWS an extra around the ball when it’s being contested. We are getting belted around stoppages and thru the middle. Time to get numbers back in the middle I think. Is it Jordan playing back to make up the 7?

    Don't care if Weed or Brown don't get a touch. Need a contest. GWS are marking everything uncontested in our forward 50.

    No point Tom Macdonald marking on the wing then kicking long to Spargo & Pickett.

    Viney isnt an asset at stoppages. He is again blocking the outlet as he is 2nd to the drop.

    This is simple.

    Outnumbered at the contest but we have an extra in defence. 

    Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Harmes, can't win a clearance so forwards are getting nothing.

    GWS have also taken the Melbourne wingers out of play.

    How many more year of Viney do we have to watch lol 

    Yes he's heart and soul - but he's just not a good player I'm sorry 

    Game is going past him at an alarming rate

    Agree. 16 rounds in and they can’t work out we go sideways when their is no key forward and then make a disposal error to turn it over.

    How are our speedy small forwards looking, when the ball isn’t delivered properly, or kicked to a big forward who can bring it to ground?

    Maybe a loss will force Goodys hand and bring in one of the browns.

    We had sam w in for five games...dropped him without like for like.

    Sick of our backline having to do all the work.

    And if bbs fitness is in question then so should  vineys.

    Edited by leave it to deever

     

    They are going in way harder and are using it better. If we don’t lift our pressure we will lose heavily.

    Hibbo: 1 disposal

    Toby Green: 3 goals

    Time for a rethink.

    Toby Green: four kicks. Yes, he has converted well, but  Hibbo is doing a great job

    They clearly want a tall in the goal square because they’re playing Gawn and Jackson in the square. But neither are forwards.

    BLITHLY OBLIVIOUS GOODWIN NO IDEA 

    Selection committee blocking out fugazi, aka common sense with Brown's non-selection. Too much self serving tripe at press conferences not to mention the Gawn/ Bradshaw podcast rubbish.

    2nd qtr

    ❌ getting smashed at the clearances 12-18 and losing contested footy 30-39 

    ❌giants switched on. Pressure acts  

    ❌ who’s on kelly. Ffs he’s killing us

    ❌ oliver Viney brayshaw are having zero influence 

    ❌ a goalkicking tall forward !!! Give me Ben Brown now 

    ✅ gawn salem May lever 

    ✅ Anb goal  SPARROW goal

    goody??? 

    ?  I think we do need a Ben Brown NOW 

    ? Giants have extra man at contest and we have may behind the ball. That’s a defensive mindset

    ? kozzzzzy. STAY INSIDE 50 ffs !!!

    And if so WTF for??

    Ok, I’m probably gonna cop it but I have never got all the love for Viney……sure he is hard at it but rarely does he come up with the ball and if he does he gets tackled trying to do too much. He’s not fast, blindly bombs his kicks but I guess he’s not alone there. I dunno, maybe I know nothing.  ?

    Reckon the club knew we were playing Thursday so no Brown with a 5 day break. Would suggest he only plays a half for Casey tonight.

    he sucks and I'm happy to cop heat for it 

    being tough isn't an asset anymore

    I would trade him in a heartbeat.

    He's getting exposed with the pace of the game, in 2 years he will be totally shot

    Agreed. If we were winning more clearances our forwards would be more likely to score. It's as simple as that.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
