Gorgoroth

How many tackles have they broken? after watching the tigers and filth today and how well they tackled it is easy to see how poor our efforts are.

Absolutely dreadful skills. From a free and missed the target by a mile.

Yep. This is going to be a long night unless something drastically changes.

Yeah we are. they aren’t.

Deliberate... he 2as standing on he [censored] boundary line being tackled.

Stills are poor to start, seen Oliver fumble/ double grab 5 times already... normally doesn’t do that in a whole game.

Saints should be 5 goals up vs Giants... can’t kick goals tho.

I hate giving Robbo credit but he was right when he wrote this on Monday (small quote not full article) By the time Melbourne gets its act together it will be the best educated team in the competition. After every damning loss coach Simon Goodwin says his players “will learn from that’’. They will, but frustrations have reached boiling point.

Play like we did early last week but lower our eyes and kick to a player instead of banging it in long and we win. Don’t and we lose.

My meaning was we don’t know how many times the cats would come back from that sort of lead. Did it to hawks a few times in years gone by at the G. Rams look good this year. Went nuts on the recruiting front. Hoping for a big year!

But the good teams never travel there (unless a interstate team and even then it’s sometimes been at etihad) . So it’s a flawed theory.

We will beat suns and maybe swans, lose the rest. No finals.

Up again at 3:30am sunday to go to work. Do I watch first half as I have been or just avoid it completely. Not sure I can bring myself to watch the whole game. Need my beauty sleep (read I’m old and struggle with little sleep ?)

My biggest gripe is he kills momentum weekly by dropping simple marks. Killed us v Tigers last year and he has done the same thes last weeks. He seems to worry about contact more than marking the ball. until he stops doing that he is a liability.

No, Frost should have known better. But the moment Max went off it gave them 1 minute to instruct and to set up properly. Not sure any of that happened.

Uggggghhhhhh no change. JKH “plays” again. Down to 21 before the game starts.

Frost coming towards the wing instead of tracking Hawkins through the middle. The whole last few minutes were atrocious. In the time Gawn went off, the leaders should have had time to get things set up right and convey what needed to be done.

[censored] cracking news!

Interchange drop to 40 will make the biggest difference. Coaches will find ways to make the other changes work to their favour and we will be back to where we started.

Agree we are finally beating the sides we should but we have not beaten any above us yet. Adelaide and North are better wins than people give us credit for but it’s the not flooding back, not controlling tempo, etc. that is what worries me and why I can’t see us making finals this year and after being where we were at the half way mark it’s a failure in my eyes.

It’s not like we think that next year we will fail again and not make finals. My problem is with this year. We have failed due to the same reasons of the last few years and even this year. I have thought we won’t play finals this year since the port loss and nothing I’ve seen since convinces me thatI’m wrong thinking that. I truly hope this loss gels them and we go over belt the crows, beat the suns and swans and make finals. I don’t care about next year. For 13 years I’ve been getting to July and thinking of next year. I’m over next year.

Surprised we are even getting drips

All true, but the captain needs to lead by example. Jones to me is sill best 22, just shouldn’t be captain.

Season is over in 5 weeks NFL season starts soon ... can’t think of a third
