Old and slow

We are officially a basket case

The fact the we can’t lower our eyes and hit a target inside 50 and continually bomb it in as if we have Tony Lockett and Wayne Carey down there is totally on the coach. Why is there never any movement in our forward line or players leading at the ball? Its been happening for far too long, and we have wasted the opportunity whilst in the premiership window with once in a lifetime players such as Gawn, Trac, Clarry , May etc..

Watching his highlights before his 150th game made me realise how far he has fallen. He used to fly and take some brilliant marks , which I haven’t seen for a long while.

Remember we were also a chance for Houston before all that Carp went down.

They brought the heat in spades and we didn’t. It was pretty evident from the first bounce how much more they wanted it than we did by their pressure and work rate. We look sluggish and must respond in a big fashion next week or we are in dire straits.

I though Toby Green was

Gawn is starting to look old and tired.

Very lack lustre , non spirited performance by the Dee’s, it was like Chandler and Clarry were the only ones out there. Not sure about Harry Sharp , hasn't impressed me at all. That second tier after , Clarry Viney and Trac , are just too inconsistent, guys like Sparrow and Rivers just aren’t standing up. We really miss Kozzie, May and Windsor as they give us a bit of spark. But to lose like that to North Melbourne is pathetic and very worrying.

We are slow and we have very poor skills, not to mention a very ordinary forward line. Cant see us making the 8 this year.

Absolutely pathetic skills . Gonna be another ordinary year I fear.

Same old Melbourne, reliant on too few and no forward line.

How did Caleb Windsor not even get a nomination for Goal of the year this week, when upon viewing the 3 that did, the Dukes was best by a country mile?

This guy is the total package, physical attributes, skill and decision making.

AMW is a big loss , we have no small lock down back man. Toby Green killed us today

Bad decision to bring a cold Langford on straight in the middle when the game was there to be won. We should have milked the clock a bit more with two minutes to go. Umps were woeful and that mark that wasn’t paid to viney being not fifteen was a disgrace to go

I think Jacko will only get better as he matures, but can we afford him? I can’t see a way we could fit the kind of coin he is on into our cap , unless it’s heavily future loaded for when guys like Max and May retire

😊

Yes a split round is ok as it’s all a level playing field after round one with everyone having played a game.

I really hope that they ditch this round zero rubbish next year what a load of carp it is.

I’d rather Kozzie than Jacko any day if the week. The game completely changed when he came on yesterday and looks primed for a huge year in the middle.

Johnson didnt do his round one chances any harm

Thought he played ok around the ground but is there a worse kick at goal than Billing’s?

So sad as he was just starting to make a name for himself playing some great footy. im sure the club will stick by him and bounce back bigger than ever next year, he is still young so a big career with the Dee’s will just have to wait one season.

The young forward line is developing well, with Fritcsh and Melksham still to come. i was impressed by the way all three worked together in Roo , Disco and Jeffo Sharp and Langford are certainties for round one and they both have some great tricks Stick May Windsor and Salem in that backline and it looks solid as a rock. AMW played a great game before injury, fingers crossed. Thought Lindsay looked impressive and skill full too. Finally some good back up rucks and forwards in Campbell and Johnson. Kozzie going to destroy teams from the midfield this year. All this without Langdon, Gawn Trac and Viney! Strap yourselves in for a big year folks!
