defuture15 902 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Can't have goals kicked 1 m out. Must be 3 lucky goals tonight
The heart beats true 18,201 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 And here I was thinking today couldn’t get any worse. They just got on one of those roles (the Hawkins off the ground, the Cameron on the line, the ball bouncing forward for them out of the centre). I just want our boys to show what they can do. We aren’t 7 goals worse than this mob. We just need to stick together and support each other, and play our style. Go the Dees! 1
picket fence 18,185 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Anyone who thinks SPARGO is up to it is on drugs shocking!
monoccular 17,760 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Yet we somehow lead in. inside 50s 30 - 27 ..... but no structure. 1
Stiff Arm 4,420 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Getting slaughtered in the middle. Leave Dogga in the ruck. Play Max forward. Move Tmac wing. More pressure on their mids Was Clarry playing Q2? 1
Antioch 235 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 5 minutes ago, Webber said: One word. Uncompetitive when the finals heat comes on, and this IS a final. So much promise, so much hope, and bang. 7 goals in 10 minutes. That’s not just a fraudulent defence, that’s a contested embarrassment. In all honesty, who here thinks we can win the flag? And how? Zero chance
picket fence 18,185 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Out in straight sets I reckon! No response tonight is telling! 1
layzie 34,528 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 The only comfort I'm taking is that the light is off us for now. Let Geelong, Port, Brisbane and co have it. If having this crap happen now means it not happening next week then so be it. Going to Port isn't the worst thing in the world. Would give us the best chance to be battle hardened and my word if we do it over there we can do it anywhere. 1 1
leave it to deever 17,618 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 1 minute ago, Deecisive said: well that was a woeful quarter. take oliver out of the picture we fall apart, especially with Petracca being held. too many passengers, we cannot handle their short game and our kicking efficiency sucks big That was interesting for a while but its a long way to a flag now. Im sick of playing cats at kardinia but playing like this i guess it doesnt matter. 1
dees189227 12,512 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Typical Melbourne, all season we have sat on top and in the final game we will butcher a chance to play a home final somewhere, instead we will have to travel to Adelaide to play port in front of there fans.
TheoX 1,222 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 So the non-call deliberate against Adelaide has cost us top spot and a 'home' final. 2 1
Nascent 9,345 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) This is why we need more quality midfielders. After Oliver and Petracca it's slim pickings with Harmes Sparrow and Viney all having significant flaws. Can't expect Oliver and Petrecca to dominate all games all season long, and when their output drops its noticeable. We've covered for this by having an amazing defence, which works against lesser teams, but it's going to be found out in the finals and now. Edited August 21, 2021 by Nascent 1 1
BDA 23,048 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 I don't know which is more embarrassing. That first half performance or some of the posts in this thread 1 1 2

Diamond_Jim 12,773 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 the good news is that we won't see geelong again before the prelim and it's our choice of venue. The smart coaching move here is to experiment but are we smart. By the way the code for experiment is to protect the team's pshyce from a thrashing 1

demon4eva 110 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 This is what happens time and time again. We put all our expectations on the Melbourne football club. They let us down. We will start all over again and again. They will let us down again and again. 2 1
Colm 2,204 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 I’m confident we will step up in the second half. We have stepped up all season when questions have been so I’m confident we will again. Result doesn’t matter at this stage but we need some sort of form to head into next week with. We can’t be as bad second half. Cmon dees 4 1 1
At the break of Gawn 4,512 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 think some supporters need to cool their jets here. We ain’t winning 7 in a row to win the flag. A tune up here and beat Port at home isn’t too bad. We haven’t lost twice in a row all year and there’s no way we’re losing 3 in a row. 6
Youngwilliam 381 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Defence look panicked. Trying to do too much 1
Monocology 1,109 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 I need to be comforted by Jacqui Felgate, regardless of who she follows...... 1 1
