Hibbo aging backwards? 

Geez he looks good doesn't he?

I had him outside our best 22 come round 1 just with his age etc. But he looks fit playing like his 2017 form.

On today's performance he plays round 1.

Don't have Kayo so am enjoying myself following this on the North bigfooty game day thread. It's very satisfying having our team talked about like this.

A couple of times we’ve been caught out going forward with turnovers because have they been pushing back hard defensively and we are getting outnumbered .

Melbourne's defence is hard to beat.

they've split us open now

Good reality check. Stops the uncalibrated preseason chugging off.

Not a bad quarter of football but we saw about 5 minutes of play from the Dees that shows the difference between the Premiers and Wooden Spooners. They are a class above and we saw it late in that quarter.

They move the ball quickly we were not able too

Melbourne too strong and too good for us to play silly.

Melbourne read the ball ahead of what we are doing as much as its about poor execution.

We stagnate we should be playing on quickly but Melbourne don’t allow it

Melb numbers behind the ball and numbers in front of the ball....

We are winning out fair share of contests but the Melbourne backline is picking off everything.

Melbourne with ascendency across the ground. Running with numbers, more numbers around the contest, cleaner with the footy.

Melbourne are very good at smothering kicks in close

How long till Round 1, 2023?

They are just out working us on the spread offensively and working back a lot harder defensively. There are a lot of lessons today let’s hope we learn from them .

We're getting crushed by melbs stronger mids.

There are a lot of skill errors, but most of those would be because of the pressure being applied by the defending premiers.

We just hemorrhaged 8 goals in a row and as soon as the pressure came we played like under 10s

Their last two games were an absolute dismantling of Geelong, and then kicking 46 goals in a row to smash the Dogs and win a flag.

Melbourne are really good

At the ground, effort is ok skills & structure the glaring difference. 
Seems an odd set up with the personnel we have on the field, allowing them huge outnumber behind the ball playing into their hands. likewise around the contest their positioning is much effective, better spacing allowing clearer outlets despite what looks like an extra there for us.

Enjoyable reading. thanks!

With Lever, Fritsch, Viney, Petty and Hunt to fit back in how do you break into this team barring injury.

I hope Rivers is around for a long time.

Gee we look good.

I'm not even sure we are out of second gear.

Fritta would have had a day out but good to see Tmac back in form.
