GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs Yartapuulti

[picket fence 15,788]

The Tardis  Mc Donald is an absolute fuggin LIABILITY WHY THE FUURG DID he get a game Van Rooyen not to much better

We are asleep

[D4Life 2,307]

Kossie never gets that Horne Francis free paid to him

[chook fowler 18,596]

They want it more sad to say 

[John Crow Batty 8,376]

Dropping marks for Port to clear effortlessly. murdered on the ground ball.

[Spargonicus 507]

Richo: “you’ve gotta pay that”. 
 

yep, hence why forwards will keep ducking.

[Phil C 651]

Can’t mark, can’t man up, can’t stick a tackle…so frustrating to watch

[Lord Travis 10,327]

Another poor quarter. We’re yet to find our rhythm against any decent teams yet this year. Still plenty of time to get going tonight, but we need to adjust to the wet conditions. We’re fumbling the ball and slipping over and getting sucked into the contest. As soon as one port player wins the ball and flicks it outside the inner ring, they’ve got numbers and take off while we’re left flat footed. They’re basically doing to us what we perfected in 2021.

[dazzledavey36 49,812]

Gawn 1 disposal, Petracca 3 disposals, Brayshaw 3 disposals, McDonald 1 disposal, Viney 3 disposals. 

Where the [censored] are our senior players??

[PVardy 72]

Concerning signs. Defence under seige that quarter. Port midfield using short kicks and handle through the corridor is killing us. We are also second to the ball a lot

Duck?

Duck and it wasn't high to boot.

[praha 10,575]

6 marks inside 50 and they were all completely uncontested and in paddocks. We're very lucky it started raining when it did.

[Billy 2,182]

They are not going to win this, totally lacklustre quarter of footy, why do we keep going back to McDonald

Don't get the hate,  was a free kick

Correct. Kosi and Spargo got them all the time. 
 

[Gawndy the Great 8,043]

Get out hunted again. So frustrating watching this team play sometimes. 

[leave it to deever 16,590]

If port players are going to duck, they can complain when they have their heads pulled off.

# free goals.

[Juk3b0x 166]

The bad Melbourne turned up… it’s always clear in the first quarter which version showed up, and this feels like the one where I stop watching about half time…

They're cutting us to shreds off half back

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,457]

Follow the recipe to beat us

Pressure up on the midfielders, and in the contest, back their skills through the front of the contest

Our guys fumble, and loose checking means they walk our the front side and find a unmanned target

[Kick_It_To_Pickett 3,106]

McDonald cannot even jog. The bloke is done! 

[BDA 20,895]

Leaders need to lift. 

[Kent 2,677]

Melbourne not contesting

OLIVER ON 11 OR SO STANDING UP

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,101]

I mentioned I was worried about us going in to this game soft vs port having won games against better opposition. And here we are, playing exactly like a team who hasn’t really been tested. False confidence.

3 quarters to go but our only goal has been from a 50m penalty. Not inspiring.

[layzie 30,422]

Is the ball just coming in quick our does our backline look useless at the moment?
