GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs Geelong

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

We didn’t capitalise but it’s pretty clear we should win this. Just need to come out composed and take our chances. 

Would love a win at kardinia to kick off the end of the week!!

 Let’s go Dees

One more quarter. Lets grind this out

[SPC 3,552]

Geelong flogging us in the tackle count.. most of their tackles don’t count however as they are off the ball. 

[Stiff Arm 4,419]

Hawkins super surprised the umpires don't listen to his demand for a free on the siren. Don't those fans/umpires listen anymore! Write a letter to Gil, Tom. He'll overturn it

[Roy Boy 381]

Brayshaw needs to work at the meat department. He’s a butcher.

Maybe during the week focus on your kicking skills instead of playing golf!

Hate potting my own players and his 2 finished have been important but kozzi had played one of the softest games i can remember

Langdon has been similar.

Geelong players allowed to take on tackles. Ball up. 

So many fend offs that we've wrapped up in tackles

It's 70 to 51 Melbourne's way

[Lord Travis 10,763]

Viney is carrying our midfield this past few weeks. Such a workhorse and getting back to his damaging best.

Gawny is really struggling. The balance with him and Grundy just isn’t working and it’s effected Gawns form badly now. Need to rethink how we use him and have a word to the umpires about how often he’s blocked or belted off the ball!

Why’s that not fifty against Hawkins? 
torp from the middle no one on the line defending the dribble……..

I was hoping for a 50, then because Hawkins would still be arguing we’d get a second 50 and a shot on goal 

[dazzledavey36 55,360]

Smashing them in all aspects of the game.

Time to put them to the sword this last quarter!

Cmon boys!

[DutchDemons 1,430]

Hunter’s over the head no look handball to Brayshaw towards the end of that quarter was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

I cannot remember a worse team that the current Melbourne team, for giving up goals/opportunities for goals in the last minute of a quarter. I turned to my wife and said, "watch this, mindless turnover coming up followed by shot on goal..."

If we could kick, no-one would get anywhere near us. I know it is wet, but our kicking remains our biggest issue.

What's happened to the decent rules tonight?  

[goodwindees 2,537]

Can’t believe they’ve taken a running player off to sub Spargo in when it appears that Petty is a mile off.

Brayshaw is no 1 turnover merchant atm

As a percentage of disposals i would like to wager Lingers is worse.

Gus yes but not as a ratio.  Gets alot more of it.

That last kick was a horror though.

Umpiring is embarrassing.

So Chandler gets taken high but continues to play on as no call.  Then as he's attempting to kick the goal the ump calls the free but then says he's taking advantage.

Geelong tossing it around like a rugby ball.... never called.  Viney attempts an overhead HB and according to the commentators he "may have got a fist to it" .... pinged straight away.

But to add insult to injury just prior to that the Geelong defender grabs the contested ball 20m out from our goal throws out a don’t argue but gets tackled to the ground holding the ball. Definite free kick but nup not from these Nuppties! 

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

We either run away with this or Scott pulls something out of his [censored] and we lose.

[whatwhat say what 22,948]

i loathe geelong and i cannot STAND hawkins and his constant whinging and whining

[McQueen 17,867]

Time to put these pussycats away!

[Jaded No More 68,974]

We should run them off their feet now. We are coming off a 10 day “bye” and them off a 6 day break from Adelaide. 

[JimmyGadson 3,455]

Gus Brayshaw. 

We had 30 second and he had the ball with zero pressure. On the wing. All it needed was a kick to the advantage to a forward (at the very least). What does he do? 

Kicks the ball out on the full. 

It is genuinely astonishing how often we do that sort of thing. And from him in particular.

Its just so lazy. 

[layzie 34,013]

Tom Hawkins really needs a good Hawk to the attitude

They’ve been replaced by the indecent rules.
