Stina

Our midfield were getting smashed all night bar the last few centre bounces. Feel like we're one gun midfielder short at this stage in our evolution. Maybe Rivers should be moved in there whilst Petracca is tagged. Brayshaw gone hurts us 😟

No SA homecoming for Dees Melbourne will rebuff Adelaide’s attempts to secure star duo Harry Petty or Tom Sparrow in the Shane McAdam deal. The Crows are keen on a ready-made quality player in return for McAdam, who turned his back on a fresh deal at Adelaide to join Melbourne in the exchange period. But the Demons will likely offer the Crows a third-round pick or low-round pick swap in the McAdam deal. Melbourne’s top priority is to secure adequate compensation in the trade for Brodie Grundy to Sydney, such as a second-round pick.

Midfield not doing much. No pressure on ball carrier and they get easy entries

Did any forwards take a contested mark inside 50 today?

Is it me or are we just plan boring to watch. Ball movement is so slow and predictable. Opposition teams have worked out how to take Max out of the play. Our midfielders don’t know how to pass to our forwards and our forwards don’t know how to block, make space for each other and lead.
