GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Carlton

[Guest]

BBB is contesting and getting to where he needs to.

But the strength of his contests has been poor. No explosion and one arm contests do not make for good forward craft.

Melky is looking great. Remember a few years ago that he got the highest SuperCoach score recorded against Carlton? Good times.

My hero.

Forget Grundy.

Do whatever it takes to buy a genuine key forward.

Our forward line is a mess.

[Phil C 728]

Hard to watch

[DubDee 25,447]

This game is enough to make you want to never watch footy again

If that was Weid his thread would have another 8 pages by now.

 

I love BB but ffs the one hand up stuff in a marking contest is not good enough

We need a forward line.

Plugger Dunstall and Gordon Coventry would struggle the way we're bombing it in

100% bank the cash and make a huge play for one of these Blues boys

We need a few players to produce a big third quarter to lift us in this game.

Every time Saad gets the ball, we need to absolutely smash him, even if it means a free or two. he's so soft and it really seems to rattle him

[DemonOX 8,779]

We need Tmac back to take the pressure off BB

[Spargonicus 539]

Endeavor seems pretty good to me. But we’ve got problems. (All documented previously)

[640MD 3,346]

Did anyone see what the free

 down the ground that resulted in frittata goal was for. Did not see it here at the ground. And it’s bloody cold freezings 

[Jibroni 4,987]

What happened to 2021 Melbourne?

We would have to be the worst in the league at getting back of the man on the mark and being the slowest to move the ball from a mark. Not many players would get a pass mark at this stage but where in front and hopefully find something in the second half. 

[dazzledavey36 54,116]

The 1 key forward set up simply doesn't work. Why we have continued to run with this set up is mind boggling.

The move the ball as slow as possible kick to him out numbered 3 to 1 tactic isn't helping

Late bump after he kicked

Pretty soft

[Maldonboy38 6,390]

Commentators gloating over a "great tight contest". I reckon it has been horrible to watch. Tacklefest, followed by Dees bombing it into the forward line with BBB attempting to mark with 1 hand, followed by more tackling, Blues kick a horrible blind ball to half forward, Dees intercept... rinse and repeat.

Well done Melksham. Pittonet is a dill. We are a better team but need to CAPITALISE.

Oppositions tackled it back to 2019

Why was that “a gift” for fritta, he marked it anyway… 

much happier about this game than the Collingwood and dogs games, blues without their stars are clearly playing as many tagging/negating roles as possible. 

They won’t be able to keep it up the whole game. I think we will break away and win by 40+ keeping the blues to under 50 points
