I was just typing "Tyson needs to lift". Good goal.

No forward systems whatsoever. Just bomb it long. You actually have to be smart with it. Get it in quick and long by all means, but otherwise think about it.

We need Jetta back out there. Our safest defender by a long way and decent off half back.

In greasy/wet weather we are hopeless. Our game breaks down badly across half back and through the middle.

Get Harmes out of the midfield. He puts his team mates under pressure every time he gets it.

Lazy, Jesse Hogan.

Harmes is not suited to midfield yet. He coughs it up every time.

Horrible signs early.

You're a disgrace James Harmes. And how was Colin Garland.

I'm pretty worried. I'll keep posting though.

One of the key reasons structured defensive footy like the Eagles' doesn't win in 2016, is because teams are moving the ball so quickly. The Eagles can't set up their defensive structures.

Slightly different though. Because they were ordinary in Simpson's first season and then he came up with a Plan B. Now that's been worked out, it'll be interesting to see whether he has a Plan C.

The Eagles have certainly been worked out. Does Simpson have another reply?

What's the common denominator between North Melbourne and Geelong? And now you have your answer. The two little w*nkers who whinge the most, coach the most protected teams.

Flicked it over to the Geelong/Eagles game and Dwayne's bias is painful. Switching channels as soon as the Carl/Coll game returns.

He took about three or four contested marks in the last three minutes of the quarter. Dominating in the air and has had a couple of marks pretty much in the goal square.

Good spot before too. Carlton have slowed/tired in the last five minutes (despite that Levi goal).

Not the first time Roos has managed that. Colin Sylvia says hi.

Mostly because he says stupid things. Same reason Brereton isn't down at the Hawks.

Well he's no good down the other end either. So glad he's not our concern anymore.

As I think I said earlier, if we win the midfield battle, we should be able to kick a winning score.

I don't usually like opposition players, but I love watching Patty Cripps play. Already won three of the four centre clearances of the match.

From that list, I'd say they'll win 5 for the year.

Sorry if this has been posted already, but check out the little piece from MelbourneTV with Robbo and Trenners. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2016-05-06/robbo-and-trenners Just so hard not to love Trenners. What a great young bloke he appears to be and an inspiring person. Really looking forward to his AFL return.

To an extent I agree, DD, but I suspect they'd be worried about ANB's leg speed and blokes like Saad (if he ends up playing) and Malceski scurrying away from him. Harmes is quicker and although he's extremely lucky, will get the week to atone simply for his leg speed. We'll obviously be hoping he brings his A grade tackling game.
