Still wish we could kick to our forwards advantage like they are doing tonight.

It’s a very rare day I stop watching a game part way through but the writing was on the wall at the start of the third. Said to my family this is the same script I’ve seen before, and went off for a walk. I’m actually embarrassed by our team at the moment and how we manage to loose the same way over and over again. It’s not like teams are doing different things to beat us each time, it’s the same thing!

Non-existent

This is the bigger issue. That last Toby Greene goal was a set play they have done for years, if we haven’t figured it out by now what the hell are we doing.

So against a side like GWS, we will likely dominate 3 of the quarters and loose 1. If we continue this level of inaccuracy they will only need to kick 2-3 goals in their dominant quarter and they will win this game

What the hell was that Koz??? Brown free inside 50 and he puts out on the full

Think his leg fell off and was run over by a road train!

You would think Petracca would learn that dropping the footy from shoulder height will lead to inaccurate kicking. We teach the under 10s a low ball drop so I dunno how he has missed the message?!

If we had Dunstall, Lockett and Ablett in our team they would never kick more than 5 goals for the season with the way we deliver it to them

Seriously burning every opportunity atm

Oooooooo Binman will love this post! Very interesting indeed, thanks Wheelo!

Swing Gawn down back rather than forward and keep a genuine forward (BBB) up forward?

Was listening to ABC radio today and BBBs manager was on talking footy with the ABC commentary team. He was discussing Melbourne and he said he can’t understand why we aren’t playing BBB at the moment. Now of course a manger will go into bat for one of his own, but what it tells me is that we are simply not choosing BBB as opposed to him being injured or doing a training block or any other reason. Sometimes players don’t get a great deal of the ball and if you look in isolation at their stats you would say drop them, but some players despite limit stats just make the team better for structural/game style reasons. I wonder if Fritta and JVR wouldn’t be better with BBB in the team. The argument that he can’t pick the ball up from the ground is moot as none of our small forwards are doing that anyway so given you would likely replace a small to bring him in I don’t think we would loose a lot at ground level, but would gain by forcing the oppo to spread their defense a little thinner. Anyway just thought it was interesting.

Wow just wow Demons

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

It’s incredible how much dissent Hawkins gets away with with the umps!

Ok, Gawn needs to sub himself off

OK [censored] me, the umpiring has just gone from very average to appalling!

THAT IS NOT ADVANTAGE YOU [censored]!!! YOU TOOK FOREVER TO BLOW THE WHISTLE MEANWHILE HE HAD TO HAVE A SHOT, THEN TOU CALL ADVANTAGE. [censored] off!

WHY THE [censored] DID TRAC JUST WATCH THE GUY MARK IT???

Hahaha and Kozzie bobs up!!! Confidence booster there 👌👌👌👌

Finally Grundy gets a free

Stanley isn’t interested in the ball at all, only interested in negating Grundy by a sdrsgging, holding, blocking etc

Reckon the around the ground umpiring has been reasonable so far, but they have no clue when it comes to ruck contests. Grundy getting scragged hard in every contest, gets donuts, so does similar back and the whistle goes!
