Our backline was under siege because our mids let their mids walk it out of stoppage.

NM (mel)

Scoring from def - 38 (22)

From fwd - 44 (30)

From centre - 43 (14)

Scoring from Stoppage - 69 (17)

Scoring from Turnover - 60 (43)

My own opinion is that we have prioritsed ball movement (in this forum and the coaching staff) in the past 12 months and thats been a  SIGNIFICANT detriment to our turnover differential, where the game ultimately matters.  We just dont have the right players in the right period of their careers for this game plan.  Hope im very wrong.

    So, can there be a general round of 'ayes' for, at the very least, playing Fritsch one-out in the goalsquare?

    Nobody, literally nobody, can reliably beat him in a one on one contest with three seconds of time to pick the lock.

    Or the coaching staff haven't adequately explained/taught the alternative method that is easily understood by and that all players buy into.  So players are confused ... that is how they look to me.

    They certainly looked confused and bewildered in the second half v. Norf. 

    Is it the plan / coaching, or are they (nearly all) not very bright?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbnae

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
