This is a tad grim

 

This game day thread is a carbon copy of a in-season 2024 game day thread.

Unfortunately. 
 

Poor skills, poor conversion, lack of ball movement. 
 

The only slight difference I see is more chip and less long down the line. 

 
Just now, brendan said:

Same old same old 

Yep. Our skills are woeful. 


This appears to be heading like all other games recently vs Flogmantle 

might get ugly 

Ooof

I saw this twice last year. Don’t know I’m up for another episode.

I’m a sucker for punishment so I’ll likely tune in for the first half of Q3 to see if Goody actually tries something different. But if no change I might turn this off and wait for the learnings. 

Lame 

 

Those bemoaning lack of a new game plan...it's the cattle. 

As soon as the ball is in motion we can't stop it because we are slow on every line. It's been happening for years. 

We're a tough, slow team. We've never been a fast or skilful team, and unfortunately that's where the game has gone. 


Max is standing in front of every pack and getting crunched get him off

Another year same old story, get no reward up fwd and get burned on the rebound


That effort by Salem in defence was weak.  Walters had all day.

So I thought the game plan had changed, nothing I’ve seen has shown we have changed our games style 1%

Still slow, still dump kick long, our early pressure kept us in this but this is putrid. 

About to turn this off....

Horrible, I know it's hot and we are playing in a country location but this is [censored] poor!


Tell me please ,   has anything changed apart from the year ?

If we are playing like this for the first ten or so rounds, it will be a very interesting watch to see how the club reacts. 

 

Bad kicking aside, we are on track for allowing 30+ scoring shots against us. Not going to win many games of footy with that.

Love how they flush just about every set shot & we absolutely butcher our chances time & time again. 

Skill execution is still a major concern of ours. Don’t see how that changes any time soon.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
