DeeSpencer 26,675 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 The midfields copped a bath but where’s the resiliency in our backline? I said all last year our backline are overrated and get a heap of protection from the players upground and it’s showing itself again tonight. The lack of run, spread and skill from our backs is just deplorable. Mentally they aren’t up for it. Same goes for our forwards but they’ve had no opportunity to show anything and we all know they’re no good.
Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,792 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) We're not up to the pace, or the conditions It's fast... Dogs were slow, we're playing like last week It's wet (dew) we're trying to play dry weather footy Outplayed all round Edited March 24, 2023 by Graeme Yeats' Mullet 2

640MD 3,568 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Petty on one leg. FGS not in the back line, put him forward make bbb rum Tmac back

Grundy hasn't taken a single mark and shows how important Max really is. It's hard to criticise Trac and Oliver because their games tonight are thankfully an anomaly. Fritta gets a pass too as like jv it's first game for season but I'm starting to worry about tmac. Let's just hope Max is OK. 1

I don’t care if we turn into the skid, just do something. Bowey to ruck, Grundy on the wing, Langdon back pocket. Get it done. 2
sydneydee 703 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Having TMac and Viney clearly not 100% is the concern. Why haven’t we learnt from last season? 1

Big difference between drawing this to a couple of goals and a 10 goal loss. Might be a good start winning some clearances. You are kidding, honourable loss we have been putrid🤯 1

layzie 34,528 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Just now, Jaded No More said: Anyone who thinks we are getting thumped because Brisbane are a far superior side, are being very kind. Brisbane look ok. They’re handling the conditions better in the heat which is expected, but we have crapped out pants here. Can’t win a clearance. Losing contested and ground balls. Turning the ball over. The most un-Melbourne performance of the last 3 years. No way are they superior. They've looked good and brought intensity that they should have had last week bit not superior. No slouches though
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 4 minutes ago, Jaded No More said: Beaten because we failed to execute the most basic non negotiables of our side. We got destroyed in every area that we generally excel at. Inexcusable. It's a mulligan. Gawn going down in the opening minutes clearly rattled the team. When you're running on top of the ground everything goes your way. When you hesitate a fraction you look fumbly, slow and second-rate. This team will bounce back just hoping Max isn't sidelined for too long. 6
Bates Mate 4,520 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Wow so many of the comments tonight are way over the top. 2nd game in lost our skip . The lions bought the heat we where not up to tonight but long way to go in the season. People need to get some perspective Edited March 24, 2023 by Bates Mate 4

640MD 3,568 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 McVee. How many games v Cameron how many games good games plain bloody stupid
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Literally the only win that can come from tonight is that Gawn’s knee scan comes back and it’s not an ACL. Can’t win anything else. 2
dees189227 12,512 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 You knows what's going to be annoying. Teams like Essendon & Collingwood will keep on winning

Even though my head says it’s just not possible, it’s so hard to turn around putrid for 3 quarters. It’s possible though, gotta hold some hope, it’s a strange game and we are capable. I’m deluded, I know lol 1

We are missing our best and biggest defender against one of the sides who could exploit us for size. May back, Koz back, playing in less humidity and we will look a lot better. 1
