Melksham, Petty and now Brayshaw out. A step too far.

And the MRO will be looking closely at JVR's careless (or stupid?) elbow.

I think we will run over them this quarter.

[Webber 10,438]

Unless we can disrupt them defensively by moving more quickly on transition and from half back, this ain’t happening. Hopefully Tracc can lift, and the Pies tire. They should, cos they’ve been fading in the last month, but our inside 50 game at the mo is simply awful. Making it so so easy to defend. Ugly stuff, but there’s time.

What the hell is with the media trying to get Maynard off. He elected to jump and caused a player to go off concussed. How can it be any clearer.

I'll burn something  down if he gets less than three weeks.

Is trac playing ??

Sparrow two touches.

Trac 7.

Tmac 2.

I hate to say it but even Viney hasn't  been good.

Lots of them want the easy footy, just stare at the contest. Why can't they follow Vineys exemplary body of work?

[GCDee 3,193]

Feel like we really dominated that quarter without gaining on the score board, looked a lot more Melbourne like. 
One thing about this team is we can go harder for longer. 

[Chook 14,998]

Starting to win a few more contests but our method going inside 50 is deplorable. Only Bowey and rivers showing any poise. Would have loved to sneak a goal in the back end of that half but Collingwood backline too solid.

Burn a cross with Maynard nailed onto it Deever 

[Dr. Gonzo 23,725]

We had the game back on our terms but couldn't convert. Our forward line is a dog's breakfast but it's only 17 points. First goal this quarter and it's game on.

Poor Gus 😭

Roo will get suspended

Starting to grow into the 2nd half of the 2nd quarter. Have to be more precise going forward take our opportunities.

Gawn starting to lift aswell as Kozzie need more action from Fritta, Trac, Clarrie cmon lads we need more from you guys.

JVR and Tmac time to stand up and take a couple of grabs.

Get busy Dees.

Get a fugging move on.

Now they are saying JVR can be called to the tribunal. Is that believable?

[BDA 22,306]

Third quarter crucial. Gotta apply scoreboard pressure and be within 10 points at 3/4 time. Forward play shambolic so far so for Christ sake can we try to find our forwards on a lead.

 

[Hopeful Demon 1,476]

I liked the way we eneded that quarter but I don't know where our goals are going to come from. We can't seem to grasp the concept of lowering your eyes inside 50.

1 week for certain, sadly. Textbook careless, late and high. Welcome back Brodie Grundy. Maynard should go too, because he could’ve avoided turning. They’ll give him benefit of the doubt tho. 

[DutchDemons 1,423]

JVR should probably be suspended, he threw an elbow.

[dees189227 12,234]

I don't want to have to have to come back next week. Please win Melbourne 

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,432]

Richo is a deadset gronk 

Hate his voice

He was a sook as a player. I’m happy he got no success at the tigers.

Now he’s a cretinous, biased dropkick with the mic. 

[Deemania since 56 6,562]

TMac to back pocket, JSmith the GHF, smalls front and centre with paired run-throughs provided. Bit more from Viney, Tracca and Clarrie - not much teamwork between them. Rivers into centre, Sparrow takes on Sidebottom. NO BOMBS. JVR has got to lead to space. Gawn doing well.

We have 8 more inside 50’s and bomb it for no result. 

No one leads out to get separation.

Totally dysfunctional forward line atm.

He moved his elbow towards the chin of the pies player. Not a good look.

[dees189227 12,234]

Maybe start trac forward for a bit, get him in the game 

[Dannyz 2,555]

Need a huge lift from Sparrow, McDonald, Fritsch and Salem. Simply not good enough so far.

Spent a bit of time on the bench that quarter  but yea he's been exceptionally  quiet.

I'm really disappointed after Gus was stretchered off we didn't respond .

Tmac worries me so much.

I know our entries are poor but he could be out bowling people over.

I feel he just makes up the numbers when he plays these days.

Please prove me wrong Tom.
