Is someone sitting on Viney?

BBO's got him in the dunnies

 

May saved a goal

Grundy and Gawn need to run Jackson around ragged and tire him out

Careful. it might be vice-versa

Underwhelming, that's all I'll say.

Soft insufferable display. This game plan is complete trash. I can count on one hand the players out there today who give a stuff about winning. 

What a disappointing performance. 

Our midfield skill and aggression is not just off - it’s well below our best. We have  come way back to the pack and in some area starting to fall behind.

Think Longmuir has coached this well, game is not on our terms at all and it's near impossible to score.

Are we getting paid by the handball??’n

 WHY ALL THE HANDBALLS?

And why do we always look so mental f going forward?

Truth is we need to win today because we’re not going to bear better teams playing like this. 

IDK if its the Dees bias but I feel like we have been shafted by the umps at certain points, TMac looking better but that quarter was tough

ANB needs to do more, I know there's a lot of love for him on Demonland. I just can't see the value he adds to our list and overall gameplan.

Any chance we try and go fast and direct through the corridor?

JVR underwhelming. Should have played BBB.

Thank heavens for the defence. Nothing happening forward of the ball. Langdon can’t get into it. Spargo of his game. 

 

Are we being out coached? (non rhetorical question)

Need more from Viney 

Any chance Goodwin's could give up like Hardwick

Enjoying the game. Can sense we will break them open in the 2nd half. Carn Dees

Worst half of footy for the year 

worst than v lions 

worst than v bombers 

worst than v port 

overhandballing is horrible 

ineffective inside 50

going wide going wide and wide 

Best. Ummm Trac and lots of others just going ok. 

Viney. Kozzzy. Chin. Do something!!! And Spargo is a negative

Longmuir and Lyon are ugly coaches. It's putrid football to watch. Neither team will win a flag playing oppressive football. The strategy is to minimise the deficit and steal a win. Onviously you do everything you can to win but it's terrible for the game. 

Thankfully given how poorly we are playing our defensive structure is tight and back to being the best part of our game.

Why does Kozzy seem to be on a rollercoaster every game?.

One spectacular goal, or play. Then 10 minutes of zero impact or involvement.

Too much left to too few.

We’ve tried that at times but certain players don’t have the skills.

We can revel in a time where Melbourne is OK to good vs what we have been in recent memory, but if we do we ignore the fact that we just aren’t doing very well (beating up on easy beats) and we could do so much better. We’re out coached and wasting generational talent and it’s frustrating. I’m not a sad sack I just know the better teams in recent history have not frustrated their fan bases as much as ours does.

What are we doing!!!???

Darcy’s gone for the game which is good.
