GAMEDAY: Rd 20 v Gold Coast Part 2

[layzie 30,232]

Getting better looks at goal but we’re also taking a much more relaxed approach to set shots and giving them the best chance to go through. If we’re missing them they aren’t missing by much eg Clarry’s poster on tight angle. 
BBB has stopped moving the ball around in his run up, I think they’ve definitely gone back to basics in this area.

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

Perth is only a 4 hour flight away….

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

did you watch yesterday's vfl game. jonesy's decision making was very ordinary

Viney still has no idea. Doesn’t kick when he needs to, tries to take everyone on and gets caught holding the ball. In the bottom 2-4 players in the team.

Probably not as noticeable, but AnB playing very well.

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. 

Dont feel too bad. He has 4 years left on his contract for us to enjoy.  Imagine having that money available to go chase a quality ball user.

What a difference a dry deck makes. 
 

Doing it easily essentially without Kozzie, Viney Sparrow and Harmes. Jones and Vanders back in for the Eagles games.

Be disappointing if we drop off now.

[Deesprate 1,263]

A quarter is a long time. Some of these posts by our “supporters” have not aged well.

1. Mental Midgets

2. We are XXXX average

3. Jack Viney has no weapons

4. Choking vs Suns

5. This game has disaster written all over it

6. Upset loomimg 

7. Fair dinkum. Played Suns back into form.

8. Our defence is xxxxhouse

9. Where a very ordinary football side

We will be third on the ladder tonight. Touch wood we have no injuries and I have no doubt we have lost games by loading and focusing on the finals big picture than individual wins. We are within touching distance of guaranteed home finals and double chance. Let Dogs and Cats hog the limelight this is our best chance since 64 to win a flag. As Oscar Wilde would say rumours of our demise are greatly exaggerated. Go Dees

Yeah   might be time for a spell  maybe bring the jones boy back for a few games. How is he going in the twos.   NO one can question Vineys commitment and courage but just not working for him and team  since he came back...  and I love the bloke

I’d have JJ in. We need to build his ball use and decision making long term. Could be the missing piece.

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! 

Hes seems down on pace too so Im not sure hes fully fit yet.

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

Gee you get off someone quick. He is the vice captain he is not going anywhere.

He can find touch in the VFL like everyone else. I dunno why he gets special treatment. He’s been trash since coming back. Yet Hibbo gets dropped after a stellar year and two poor games. 

[layzie 30,232]

Agree with most things said about Viney. He’s standing out in our midfield right now and not in a good way. I’d love to think it’s just about shaking the ring rust but how games back do you give a guy? Maybe the fast deck at Marvel just isn’t going to be the game for him.

Kozzy held in the middle in front of the umpire. Play on.

still stressed enough to have a chip at Viney though ?

Go Viney!

[Pates 9,551]

Jack takes first option, we end up with a shot for goal. Maybe someone finally got into his ear at HT.

Yep but someone needs to tell him that most AFL players now days are as strong as him and to stop trying to run through packs. Please just give the first option. Harmes also needs to be told this.

[Lord Nev 13,512]

2nd nice short kick to a lead by Viney. He's trying to fight his instincts and if he can keep doing that it will help us massively.

 

[dees189227 11,246]

Much better by Jack then

[Demonland 66,833]

Clarry threw it then. 

[praha 10,552]

I know we are 10 goals up but Brown and Max are held CONSISTENTLY and free kick never called.
