[DeeZee 7,363]

Bowser looks great and Dogga with 4 goals is turning it on.

Our percentage now above lions.?

What a difference kicking straight for goal makes!

Dom Viney.

That's harsh on Tyson. Don't think that even he got caught that often.

I do like Viney but he's just trying to do the impossible too often.

[Demonic 40]

Good job everyone! except Viney you can rot in the 2's forever and Harmes you can do the same if you cant kick easy goals. 

[The heart beats true 18,110]

I’d like to see Koz get around it more. He just needs to get that spring back in his step. When he’s feeling dangerous opposition clubs get so nervous, and it’s great to watch.

You’re joking right?

He always got caught holding the ball, always.

FMD Garry Lyon is a miserable campaigner. Was a great player for us but not convinced at all he's still invested in the club.

Game starts again from 0 for me. Do it again 

[loges 6,767]

The key to is and always will be tackling pressure.

[titan_uranus 24,975]

Can’t fault much, but Harmes and Viney kill me. 

Neither has learnt to take the first option and Harmes can’t hit a single target. 

Really want to see them lift their game, as they should be copping a bake from Goodwin. 

Loving the forward pressure. Brown’s looked really good and that helps TMac, Fritsch and Jackson get free and hit the scoreboard. Oliver incredible and Lever, Petty and May solid. 

[Smokey 4,389]

A week is a long time in footy huh. The confidence we’ll be getting from this is very important 

[DemonDan11 106]

For me I think this is Viney trying to find form. He has been injured and not in the team also trying to find match fitness. What a good opportunity to try and find some of that touch. He is getting the ball and once that confidence comes back he will be the bull he was again! 

[praha 11,236]

Feel quite bad for Viney. He seems so out of place in this team. Doesn't seem to be "one of the boys" and tries to do too much.

Also getting FAR better looks at goal, looking more shallow and straight as opposed to deep in the pocket.

Hes an absolute mess of a player.

Needs to FRO to Casey and learn to play football. This guy will kills us come finals.

The issue I have is Goodwin is unfortunately too soft to drop him.

Absolutely spot on comments as usual Dazzle

[Pates 9,660]

I’m not satisfied, half to go and there were bad habits creeping in at the end of the quarter. We have a big opportunity to get some good form today and get some huge confidence. That will all be undone with a mediocre/poor second half.

Yep spot on. BB50 leading straight rather than 45 degree angles into the pockets....who'd have thought!?

I'm not denying that but my point was that I didn't see him get caught at the same rate that Viney is today.

Anyway, Tyson's been out of the team for three years, so let's get back on topic.

[praha 11,236]

Jones would actually be better than Viney at this point. Smarter with the ball and seems to be more adaptable.

Magnificent second quarter. That being said, confidence can be a double edged sword.

Dare and dash are required to open teams up. We have shown plenty of that. It’s manic, relentless and inventive.

It can also lead teams to unwise and presumptuous disposal. The Fritsch and BBB forward entries are case in point. BBB was right to be dirty on the former for torching him, and then proceeded to lose all moral high ground with that unrealistic shot.

Dogga is having a day out. The opposition isn’t overly organized, but you can only play against the opponent presented to you. He’s also fixed his kicking from beyond 35 out, which is a credit to him.

Bowey is a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t big on blooding more newbies leading into September, but he’s shown poise beyond his years.

Clarry may need to be the medical subbed off alas. He’ll be suffering from leather poisoning. ?

From now on all Melbourne players have to spend 8 hrs on a plane before each game..

I can kind of see his point about is it good to be playing in a game like this. I mean today looks cruisy but next week we will come up against the Eagles & it will be a completely different game

[olisik 4,060]

Should see if Geelong are still keen on Viney. Worth asking the question
