Been feeling this for a while but tonight it has come to a head......we are so f$#@ing boring to watch. 

 

Other than 2021 finals we've always been boring bar the occasional quarter

There's no run and gun in this team.

Playing momentum footy for no reason has played right into the depleted Tiger's hands and they will now have massive belief coming into the rooms at half time.

As someone said earlier...no leadership out there anywhere so far.

Maxy had a chance to set things up and settle the team with two in a row and instead went for the hero kick... ughh

Yze knows it’s pressure that beats Melbourne 

What happened to our skills ?

Imagine if we played a good side tonight like Geelong ? Would it be a 100 point drubbing.

Maybe last week wasn’t an abomination?

Don’t worry, this is made for the super sub Bailey to come in and look like a million dollars. 

His woeful skills and decision making will fit right in with his teammates.

That is the worst half of kicking turnovers I have seen from MFC ever. 

 

There were worse during the Nield years!

It has been a putrid match so far. Skills from both sides atrocious. Umpiring poor both ways. On form it's hard to see how we're a legitimate contender this year with such poor forward connection and conversion. Seems we haven't fixed our main issue of the last two years.

I don’t even know what position Petty is playing. I don’t think he knows. 

Why does T Mac think he can kick a accurate pass off one step?

he is good when he knows his limitations. 

that turnover was soul destroying

Epic Battle. 

Like watching two pigs rolling in the mud, epic!

We lack skill plain and simple.

He's a waste of a list spot in 2024. Let's hope he comes good before finals or nets us a first round pick when he pisses off to Adelaide.

There's no pressure on half of the missed passes. 

Are Trac, Viney and Nibbler OK?  Few possessions and when they have, never clean possessions.

Petty can go back to S.A useless

My god we are playing pathetic football. Our skills are more akin to a bottom 4 team, not top 4 (or even top 8).

Our forward line is a basket case, our delivery not much better.

How much longer will our backline be able to keep our sinking ship afloat?

I’m at the ground and watching Petty run around like a headless chook. 
Not only does he not offer a target, his opponent (Miller) runs from him with ease. Yes, I know he had no preseason and he has already had more disposals than he had last match (3 cf 2).

Come on Disco!

Yeah, nothing compared to the game against Brisbane. Are they still spooked from that game and feel the tigers are on top of them as the Lions did? It looks like that!

Have we lost our edge?  We seem completely uncompetitive, particularly through the middle and forward.

Ditto. Beautiful conditions.  Laziness is the word. Pure laziness.

Should've been a percentage boost tonight. Poor effort to waste an opportunity like this.
