Unfortunately Melbourne women have been shown to be a soft team against the top teams. Disappointing that both men and women get beaten up by opposition teams in big games. I just wish we would be the aggressors for once
Mihocek is 192. Rivers 188, Hibberd 186. I would say Mihocek definitely has the height advantage.
1. Cox 211/ Cameron 204
2. Mihocek 192
3. McStay 196
4. Howe 190 - although he may be shifted back
And can't forget the aerial prowess of Jamie Elliott.
Fortunately the weather might restrict their height advantage, although wet weather hasn't been our friend either
Does seem like we are a bit unbalanced in our tall defenders vs their potential of 4 tall forwards.
However, the forecast is looking very wet between 7-9pm tomorrow. Pies may have gone too tall for the conditions. How does Mason cox go in the wet?
Disgraceful loss. Controlled the game for most of the night. Dominated the stats and then soft as butter in the last. The forward pressure was trash, Spargo the sub non existent.
That's four weeks in a row where we've struggled to score more than 8 goals
Unfortunately JVR free against Finlayson was the turning point. We had withstood their hot start to the final quarter and were out on the rebound when his act gave them belief.
I hope the leadership group and goody will have a good talk to him during the week
Concerning signs. Defence under seige that quarter. Port midfield using short kicks and handle through the corridor is killing us. We are also second to the ball a lot
I like Brayshaw in the middle, but understand why he plays half back. I reckon they might leave Brayshaw back and give Rivers a game in the middle after his performance last week
