So true Lucifer . We just seem to be so dumb and reactive on and off the field. This was a double whammy too. Maxs other great attribute are the grabs he takes around the gound. After so much rain we would have known that his marking power would be reduced as well but we didn't seem to have plans to address this either. When you watch the last 90 seconds when we lost possession and couldn't even man up to try and turn it over, we seem so one dimensional on and off the field.

Really good point. Too many Lions supporters there?

This was the most frustrating thing for me all night (apart from the maggots). We lose possession with 90 seconds to go and then don't man up. It's such a fundamental thing to do and we just let them pass it around. Why are we so daft? P.s. Viney carried us most of the night and gave us the chance to win the game I reckon.

We didn't even man up

Umpires again

Let's steal this

Oscar hit around the head. Htb!

Jetta handpasses and still htb. Gerard you're a [censored]

That was ridiculous!

This htb stuff is driving me nuts

Don't pick it up you'll go for htb?

Midfield slow to start but starting to click now.

Bennell held!

Good to see Milkshake get an early one. Build his game up.

Like a bar of soap

We'll done gold coast and the afl. That's really ordinary. That will keep you socially distanced. It's not and enjoyable walk either. Ubertime?

Good to see the saints win. We always struggle to beat them when they're pus. Will be a challenge to beat them this year. They're playing good footy. Port are definitely gettable.

Swans getting gifted frees all over the ground in a 2 point game as well.

The hour on Sidebottom is fantastic. I'm listening to the "Two fingers of Corio" episode from "Roy and HG - Bludging on the Blindside" , presented by Roy and HG - https://abclisten.page.link/Z1RDXi7JyqMM9n4e8. Available now through the ABC listen App - http://bit.ly/ABCradioApp

Roy and HG had a great crack at BT and Bruce last weekend. Their podcasts on ABC listen have been brilliant this year. Took the absolute p.... out of Steele Sidebottom for an hour chec out two fingers of corio episode.

Yep, Jackson's ground work is one of his strengths for a big fella.

The only really big advantage I could see with TMAC on the wing is to change up our one dimensional approach from our kick in. Always went to Gawn last week. Opposition will surely focus on countering this. Could we spread Brisbane thin by running a marking option on both sides of the field? I'd be worried about TMACs lack of pace against Brisbane playing on the wing unless we really felt we were after aerial domination. Fair bit of rain coming through over next few days too. I think TMAC was starting to get some touch back before his injury. Just not sure where he would fit.

Being Melbourne?

My first impression is that he's just out of touch and confidence in a big way. In a dysfunctional team, its harder to get back into form but I think there signs of him getting his hands on the ball more this week and from there hopefully the skills and delivery will come back to his best. There were similar signs with Tmac and Omac. They're playing their way back into form. It's a different year this year and dropping him back to Casey to find touch isn't an option. He'll come back into form and he's one of our best when he is.

We dominated all day and won the free kick count 17 to 16
