We're supposed to be evolving the gameplan and the ball movement. So why, oh why, did we pick a game against an apparent bottom 4 team on a small ground under the roof to go back to long and wide kicking? Skills and execution were awful but surely these tactics didn't help. I also heard several times on the replay the commentators referring to the hard game last week and fatigue. It was a gruelling game but I can't remember a time where the effects of a tough Rd 1 game were mentioned so much the week after. How are you supposed to sell hope to the fans if the team is knackered after Rd 1?

6. Chandler 5. Oliver 4. Lindsay No-one else

Yeah I don't think 'soft' calls would be too far wide of the mark today and it really pains me to say it because I don't think anyone who plays the game is a fairy. But gee how many missed tackles were there? Not just a few here and there. I'd say we probably stuck 18% of the tackles we attempted.

You'll never have a hope in hell playing that game style and executing skills at sub-par levels. Call it for what it is, that was a dog's breakfast.

Thanks for coming.

Massive step backwards today

No More marks

When was the last time Melbourne: - Conceded this many marks in defensive 50 - Conceded this many scores from centre clearance.

Doesnt look like we're gonna kick another goal this decade at this rate

Will hand it to North. Theyre on the up and we're on the down. Real hungry

4 centre clearances to start the 4th quarter. Absolutely pitiful

Stick a fork in it

When it's not your day it's not your day

Absolutely unmatchable that quarter. To think with basic fundamentals we'd probably be even.

How can we look so gassed at Rd 2?

The skills are absolutely [censored]

Just lost another key defender. Great

Fritcsh just isn't seeing anyone around him

Wow, just wow. The one piece of play that underlines the whole day

Can't concede another

Gotta stop bombing

At least Trac down forward gives them something to think about.

Got what we deserved with that turnover

Great kick Disco. Come on boys LFG

Missing tackles everywhere
