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.

Haha you just knew that despite our repeat entries that GWS would get the first goal.

I can't see how today's game is possibly of any financial gain vs having the game at the MCG. There must be 2k people there. If that. The cost to get there. Accommodation. I really can't wait until we stop doing this.

Collingwood showing what a genuine contender should do against a bottom 10 team. We should do similar against GWS tomorrow.

My song to the tune of "What's new pussycat?" by Tom Jones. "Suck [censored], Freo, heave ho-oh-oh oh oh. Suck [censored], Freo, heave ho-oh-oh oh oh."

Is anyone else here a naive [censored] like me that is surprised it's so cold in Alice? Honestly thought the place was hot all year round.

It's a mistake dropping him. Happy to be proven wrong but Brown can barely turn at pace and will get smoked by decent defenders. You think Brown is going to do better on Moore in a final than JVR would? Not against him having a spell but I am just lost that people think Brown is a long term replacement for us. JVR needs to play finals. We're going to miss out on key development for this kid while we try to recapture 2021's form by playing a Brown who since the GF has barely lasted on two feet for more than a month. Love the guy and if he helps us achieve glory again I'll take the L with this post but I hope the plan is to get JVR back for finals. As for Tomlinson the obvious change for me was Tomlinson for Hibberd, Bowey for Jordan. This again just reeks of trying to recapture 2021 form and it just looks desperate

you new here? 😜
