Defence wins premierships and we've seen so many coaches harp on about this. We were the number rated the 1 defensive team in the whole competition back in 2021 as were Collingwood last year who were top 2. With all due respect to Brayshaw, he's no where near the calibre of talent to Dusty and Petracca.

Richmond lost Rance to an ACL injury round 2 2019. They went on to win a premiership that year. They had no one to cover the calibre of his talent and especially as he was their spiritual leader but they had the soliders and system in place to cover him. We're making excuses for the sake of it. Had we won the those close game in Carlton, Brisbane and GWS this whole Brayshaw discussion wouldn't even be brought up. We'd be sitting at 13 wins ready to attack finals.

Spot on. So according to Jaded our season was completely shot when Brayshaw retired, yet the exact same people were talking about finals only a few weeks ago.. You're either on one side of the fence or not.

Gut the whole coaching department and overhaul the game plan. Continue to get games into Howes, AMW, Tholstrup, Woey and then Jefferson next week.

Very stark to the doggies ball movement tonight. Generate run off half back and sling shot from there. Swarm in numbers around the contest and then run in waves. Compared to us where we chip sideways to a wing then bomb down the line. Incredibly predictable all night.

I'd rather he never pull on the red and blue again. We don't owe him anything.

ANB reverting back to 2020 spud levels again.

Howes and AMW have been a positive down back.

Can we please sub Clayton Off.. killing us big time

Sparrow and Chandler. Both average players doing average things 🤮

6 million dollar boy Oliver with some of the most pathetic efforts you'll see.

I'd play him yes. 29 goals from 16 games this year. Eventually you need to reward form at some stage.

I'm scared.

Who cares.. they were early losses of the season. They're timing the run beautifully at the right time of the year. One of the most inform teams in the competition alongside Brisbane and Hawthorn. Every chance they could finish too 4.

Half the Melbourne players have all checked out. Hunter should just retire in the spot. That was an embarrassing performance from a more senior member.

Laughable comment. Same selection issues that has them motoring along winning 5 of their last 6 games beating the likes of Sydney, Geelong at Kardinia and Carlton?

Wowed that was weak by Lachie Hunter..

Reminds me a fair bit of Chad Warner.

Good lord Fullarton is absolute crud in the ruck contests. He really is a below VFL standard player.

So you were disappointed we picked Kozzie over Bergman..?

Jesus the term "star" gets banded fairly loosely around here.. A good up and coming young player but a star? Nah.. Kozzie Pickett, Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver are stars. This is his current stats playing as a half back/wingman.

Wow.. bizarre decision to drop Laurie.

Paywall

I know for a fact we were monitoring him throughout the 2022 season before he got picked up in the mid season draft.

That wouldn't be Wade Derksen by any chance would it..? Ps Welcome to Dland! Feel free to add any worthwhile trade talk 😁
