Can't remember the last time I woke up just as [censored] off about a loss as the previous day. A stinger for the ages

Did anybody else see Vince laughing with Dangerfield after the siren while all the other players and the supporters were on the verge of crying? Get fuched Vince. Never play for this club again.

Vince [censored] spoiled Melksham who would have marked it. Absolute panic merchants in clutch moments. Soul destroying stuff, seriously gutted. Will stew on this all week.

Heart wrenching.

Expect a bloke called Clayton Oliver to have a field day if that is the case.

Melbourne sit 6th on kicking efficiency % and Geelong 10th.

To be honest I totally misread the initial comment. I thought he was saying a 5-10 goal better team then us down there, which I disagree with. Point taken ?

I rubbished it because I believe this years Geelong is a completely different beast than previous (more dominant) seasons. I think their current standing on the ladder and their unconvincing performances at home this season back that up. They were only 2 goals up at 3/4 time against Carlton down there this year, which is an indictment given the state of Carlton.

This is the weakest Geelong outfit I can recall in recent times. If we bring out A game it is better than theirs. I hope we are watching tapes of how the Swans go about it at Kardinia, they have a brilliant track record there.

Obviously it is highly subjective but imo Spargo, Frost, JKH, Joel Smith, Tyson, Garlett V Geelongs Henry, Parfitt, Cunico, Bews, Jones, Narkle I think ours is significantly stronger but maybe I'm biased.

Rubbish, could not disagree more. Their bottom 6 is awful

That is a nice dose of perspective, these guys are an enormous part of our core and will only get better with 75+ games under their belt

It should be called Misson Control

If we manage to get over the line here it will be the biggest win for this club in the last 10 years. Absolutely hostile down there, a few soldiers short, oppo at near full strength. Monumental task. All I ask for is maximum effort and whatever happens happens. Go Dees

Where has our forward pressure disappeared to? It is our back bone, St Kilda waltzed out of our forward line without so much as a whimper from our medium forwards...ALL DAY. We looked slow, lethargic and directionless yet again going forward. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and failing (bombing it inside 50 to a pack of 15), and we have been doing it all year. How can Goodwin not have fixed this by now? I'm livid with this team atm.

Because normally you would have 15 opposition players lining up in the goal square for a certain goal ??

Here is some perspective, this time last season Richmond were 8-5 in essentially the exact same position as us. It'll click

Hunt has done his ankle in the VFL and is out for around a month. I like the ginger ninja but I'm not sure he's ready yet...

The fans deserve for the team to make finals. If they can't handle the heat against top 8 sides that is a blight on our application and mental steel rather than talent

I'm worried about this game. Port have their tails up and if we are a couple of % off after the bye we'll get done in hostile territory

I think given his age that notion would be promptly dismissed by the AFL. Goodwin's mantra of "When you win the ball on the inside, the outside game comes naturally" rings true, however even when we win that area I still believe we are lacking one forward half distributor in Melksham's mould. Too often when the pressure is ramped up, we bomb away inside 50. It is as clear as day. Someone who lowers the eyes under pressure and can hit a moving forward 50 target is a priority for me in the coming off season.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-06-15/comment-why-murphy-should-consider-the-dees Any interest in Murphy? 31 next month, doesn't seem like a optimal fit for our list profile however he has elite decision making. Gaff a priority but not against giving Murphy a look in if we don't break the bank in doing so.

I'm actually finding myself missing Watts as a F50 target, he also used to use the footy beautifully around the ground. Noticed it more tonight where a bit of class and composure would have gone a long way.

EDIT: He did it during the game - fair enough. Needed to be dropped anyway.

I posted this in the match review thread but what is the deal with Hunt? Charlie Cameron made him look positively slow at stages last night. Is he carrying an injury or just out of form? I don't think there is a tagging role for Bernie next week, and I hate him and Lewis in the same 22... it really slows us up. Can't imagine 3 changes would be made to a winning team, however last night didn't convince me of that being the optimal combination at all. Out: Hunt, Bugg, Vince In: Brayshaw, Kent, Stretch
