We have plenty of muscle already.. we need speed and pressure

Out of curiosity which player that was traded last year do you think Melbourne could have gotten and that would have made a significant difference to the side?

It seems that Oliver has lost his zip. He used to be able to take possession and burst out of a stoppage. He also had a great ability to take a mark, turn and run past the player on the mark. he has become much more stagnant this year and has lost a yard or two from his games

Don’t want to make an excuse for that horrible performance however it is so out of character. Is there another explanation other than being completely outplayed? During the pre match telecast they mentioned that it’s been raining heavily and the ground was wet and heavy. Since 2021 we haven’t played well mid season. It’s been a common theme for the past 3 years. Theory is that it’s got to do with a loaded training run during this period. could a heavy, wet track and a loaded training regime explain this performance? i know im clutching at straws but i cant just accept that the players gave up after 4 minutes.

Thankfully Freo has averaged less points per game than dees…

We arnt playing in Darwin. Alice weather will be dry with no humidity

I can’t see petty being dropped if fit. At worst he can be moved down back

AFL member. Logged on at 2:30. Could only get tickets for top level 7 rows from the back. Bringing oxygen mask

Is he not eligible for this years draft?

We kicked 4-7 in the first. Our best qtr of football for the year. What exactly about this was boring. Maybe football isn’t for you

He will be taking the 3rd tall which for most clubs isn’t a great player

Anyone see him play? Stat sheet shows him with 6 possessions

Stat sheets has White with 6 possessions and no hit outs. Isn’t he meant to be ruck? Regardless, and underwhelming result

I didn’t think Gold Coast had instant access to top 20 academy players? Similar to Melbournes Mac Andrew rule

How?

There won’t be any more outs.. only 2 players are coming in.

Seems that only Langdon and JVR are coming in…

Every club is missing a top player. This isn’t an excuse. Sydney hasn’t had their captain all season, Brisbane have 4 player with acl’s, Collingwood have 10 starters on their injury report and Fremantle have lose Oscar McDonald lol…

We had 15 I50 tackles last week

Correct. The crop of 10 best players are past their prime and won’t get any better. The window has officially shut

Does anyone have stats on sides winning after a 5 day break. Seems to be a real disadvantage

We didn’t win because we were down by 38 points to 0… chances of coming back after that is almost 0

It’s ok.. we play it our fortress

I said 3 qtrs not the whole match. I would give us the points in the 2nd 3rd and 4th. Unfortunately we never recovered from the abysmal 1st quarter

We played better than them for 3qtrs but couldn’t convert or dominance.
