Dr. Gonzo

He's been extremely vanilla, no impact whatsoever. Took too long after taking a mark on 50 yesterday when his opponent went to ground, could've played on quickly and passed to Fritsch(?) in the pocket. Instead went back then kicked a nothing kick to the top of the square which was easily defended.

Yes and that all comes down to mentality. Players turned up expecting a fresh kill, arrogant and mentally soft. Been that way for decades. They talk about "respecting the opposition" and all that crapola but they still don't walk the walk, they still don't respect the game or respect the opposition. They think they can get away with bruise free footy when they can't be arsed, they need to be ruthless and put these bottom of the ladder teams to the sword before they get a sniff otherwise their momentum and belief grows, especially interstate. How many times must it happen before the leaders, coaches, senior players etc do something about it??

Mentally weak. A hallmark of Melbourne teams for 60 years.

Pathetic performance

We have the talent, we lose it above the shoulders.

Schofield?

Max is a great player but a poor tap ruckman, it's always been his weakness

We have a team of arrogant, lazy players

Still better than channel 7 tho

Not starting next season, fox have their own commentators for every game I cluding channel 7 games.

I can see a time in the near future where we can't get any access to this when it's Collingwood's home game. The AFL wants all memberships to be reserved seat memberships (like Essendon at Docklands) which would mean no access for opposition supporters.

I get the club loves the exposure of night games on TV and for years we cried out about being shunted to the Sunday twilight slot but so many night games in a season is really difficult for the elderly or young kids, especially Saturday night games when they have junior footy the next morning. With parking at the G much more limited these days too or the gates closed for ages after the game before you can even leave it's harder getting to and from the ground as well.

Nah, not this year. We play them in NT 😂

Wonder why 🤔

No way 😲

Rubbish, if Kozzie got a week Newman should too. Left the ground and collected ANB in the head with his elbow.

Once Cerra got subbed out we started to get on top.

The goals at the start of the 3rd (Curnow) and the 4th (Hewett) along with the misses of Fritsch, Petty, Koz and Chandler and the non goal from the sling tackle free against JVR - all were just as costly as the 1st quarter.

Nuffies

We did alright against Crows 😉

They look stuffed, 5 day breaks are a joke

Petty, Fritsch, Kozzie form chocolates to boiled lollies in 5 days

Our forwards have been smashed. If it's not given to them on a platter they just give it up and out it comes.

This kid is a star in the making, has the talent, composure and aggression of a seasoned veteran after only a handful of games. I love him. Another win for JT.

Those in the media are rightfully potted because of their role in covering what is the greatest sport on the planet terribly. You can avoid them to an extent but not when you are watching the game/replay, not at half time, not when people bring some of their comments to your attention etc The medias role should be to make the intricacies of the game easily digestible for those in the outer but they decided some time ago we were too dumb for that or at least most of us are. So they ignore that and elect to go for the over the top personalities, the shock jock controversial calls that drive the 24 hours news cycle and the tabloids journalism of players personal lives rather than dissecting the evolving nature of the game from a tactical/strategic perspective and holding the AFL to account for the many egregious and downright terrible decisions they make as governors of the sport and the league. As fans/supporters we expect/demand more just as we do if our governments. They let us down and it is up to us to point that out/demand more when it happens.
