Is that a Premiership Metric©️

This is 100% a coaching and strategy issue. Bringing in Brown and Harmes was applauded on this forum. I just can't fathom it. Naturally, JVR killed it at Casey. I really wish we'd stop with this trying to recapture 2021 form BS. We need to move on otherwise we're going to get caught out and the wheels will fall off. We lost today at the selection table and in the coach's box.

Of course he missed it lol

That's game.

Melbourne gets behinds where teams like Geelong and Collingwood kick post high through the middle.

The fumbles....

Next goal wins.

Note the space GWS has when they go forward vs what we have. Very lucky if we win this.

GWS wins this imo. It's just too hard for us.

thems some tasty PREMIERSHIP METRICS.

This is a genuine battle between 2 sides battling for top 8.

it's loading.

ALL GOOD EVERYONE. LOADING. PREMIERSHIP METRICS.

He's waiting to come back after we finish them off with a 15 goal to 2 goal second half.

If I had wheels, I'd be a bike.

Given that, our dominance going forward, and just general control of play, we are entering Carlton territory of performance at the moment. Let's not forget that over the past 12 months we're a slightly better than 50% win team. How relevant are our "premiership metrics" after that half?

Yep. Langdon couldn't even score with a checkside directly in front under no pressure. This is awful football.

People will defend this because of the conditions. Giants are doing exactly what literally every team that beats us does. It's such an easy strategy.

Grundy and Gawn in the same team is peak Shaq and Karl Malone in the same team vibes.

Pickett is quickly turning into Wish.com Cyril.

He's not suited to small ground. Loves a long running goal or long forward entry.

The gameplan: 1. Get an entry to a 1 on 1. 2. Ball gets to ground 3. Opposition has players waiting, Melbourne forwards second to contest 4. Stoppage or Melbourne shot on goal (and subsequent behind) 5. Opposition eventually gets possession end-to-end to an open forward line 6. Repeat

Club update:

I mean it's not a broken ankle obviously? A sprain?

Just like the Geelong game we are dominating possession and simply can't capitalise. Opposition goes forward into space, has numbers and crumbers and then goals. We kick against a swirling wind in the next quarter.
