monoccular

IF Melksham ever plays again any "tough guy" opponents will call him on missing the GF and how it has effected him. Clearly has serious anger management issues and a tendency to violence. Maybe I am a wowser, but every time there is a big fight on violence seems to surge.

"Another consequence of Steven May’s Melksham's actions " - so did May bite his hand? Surely if one choses to punch and injures your hand it is not the fault of the guy who is hit.

Yes I said the midfield as a whole contributed, as did the defensive unit, but I didn’t pick out individuals as the ones who cost us the game. The team (or lack of) cost us the game.

Defeatism never wins anything. And the lack of midfield pressure didn’t contribute?? That is an awful comment about OUR players

Yep. Ginivan to get three frees in front of goal before the first bounce.

He doesn’t need it after recent “performances” And another 4 letter word, also containing f Seruoudly, this is a pivotal moment in OUR club’s season. May is our most important player in the backline, and we have lost two perhaps largely due to his absence for 7 quarters - now, looking for him to return and add stability and leadership, and 💥 Win (if this fires up the remaining players a hell of a lot we may yet do it) or lose, he owes his teammates and us supporters big time for the rest of the year.

Nobody was particularly good in 2019 - so hard to judge him on that.

Please elaborate on your last point. Both Browns out for whom? Sydney did a brilliant job of isolating him and other defenders so they couldn't help each other. And why can’t we try the same tactic instead of all our forwards going for the same ball? Lack of discipline? Forgetting the successful self sacrifice tactic of 2021?

…. and last week v Freo too. We need a strongly built, skilled deep KPP forward, with a touch of mongrel. Neita would have been a perfect fit into this team.

Pickett through individual solo efforts set up at least three of our goals. Yes, crude stats underwhelming but did you see the game ?

How about both??

I don’t know who we have but the last two weeks we have been comprehensively outmarked both in defence and up forward. Turner is listed at 194 cm but how is his spoil and leap? If so could he relieve Petty to go forward for either Brown. And can someone list the players who missed with covid a month or 6 weeks back? As I recall Bbb and Jackson were amongst them - have they fully recovered?

Very sad performances - I just wonder how much is residue from Covid? Seems to lack any energy. Who were the others who missed with Covid? Was Petracca one of them? Stilllacks his previous spark. BBB needs a rest, and I mean a rest not playing at Casey if he hasn't fully recovered. Maybe just a bit too radical but play Max predominantly at FF, Jacko at CHF, both with some ruck duties with Majak. From the little I saw today Majak seems do Ruch well and ruck to advantage - maybe VFL position mids aren't nearly as smart at VFL ones, but even when Max dominated the whiteouts they don't always translate to output.

GAWNIUS MAXIMUS GUS CLARRIE JORDON LANGDON BOWEY Special mentions to Harry Petty for battling on on one leg, and to Kozzie for some incredible solo pressure efforts that lead directly to a couple of our early gaols.

I suspect the team may have read this thread and thought that they would help sure that we remained humble 🤔

Just like their senior counterparts. So nobody to pressure BBB in particular who has really struggled post covid. Seriously does he need some down time to recuperate?.

Maybe May is. No commander in chief on the backline. Mitch >>> Ben.

Two blatant 50 meters that would have been certain goals totally ignored. And they say umpires wants to be respected! Well start by being respectable.

Stand in M Briwn our best forward so far

That pretty face twerp #2 has it in for us every time.

Kozzie absolute magic x2 > goals.

Massive brain / skill fade by Dustan just before the end which may sun up why he is only depth despite last years Downlow votes.

Any notes on AVR? How is he handling the slippery conditions?
