Buzzy

Absolutely getting ahead of ourselves, blokes like Petracca and Oliver taking on tacklers and failing, instead of giving the easy or obvious option. Really disappointed with Petracca today, we need him, along with Tmac and Weid unable, unwilling to demand the ball or run to the right spot. I would love to see a montage of our pathetic kicks inside 50 today. Either straight out of bounds, straight to 3 huge Collingwood players, or so wide it would be impossible to score anyway, just over and over and over. At this point I think we'd get more of a wake-up call if we lost this game, because we sure as hell don't deserve to win it. YUCK

'Cool customer with the ball, Brayshaw' I beg to differ BT. I have never seen us play this badly forward of centre, EVER.

and nobody is going to them! The lack of pressure is horrendous.

LOL at our inside 50's, seriously. Kick it any higher and wider guys? Collingwood are literally demonstrating how to do it, yet we can't get our heads around it.

Delivery inside 50 is DISGUSTING And any danger we can stop firing panicked rocket handballs to blokes with 3 opponents already on them? Horrible to watch so far.

That was the worst best goal I've seen

Jesus it's so weird how TMac just melts through tackles sometimes ?

probably because he plays for so many

Whats the point of sagging back and letting them walk it out of their defensive 50, when we then don't even man up on the wing? When is leaving Daniel Rich alone a good thing? Clearances now 13-22. 4-10 in the middle. Horrendous. Who is playing on Bailey?

GOD! Two terrible kicks in a row by Trac, it's costing us. Can't blame our forwards tonight, the midfield is letting them down.

Clearances 9-16. There's a lot of gumby efforts by Melbourne players tonight, reminds me of the Adelaide game. Aaaaand another throw by us. Aaaaand another holding the ball. Jackson is better off staying away from the ball tonight. I'm not a Brayshaw fan but he's been great.

STOP WITH THE DUMB FREES MELBOURNE

So we come out, give away a dumb free and then give away a dumb goal. Great start.

Would help if we could win a clearance! But yes, Weideman is never there when you need him.. and Jackson has the conviction and marking ability of a nervous 12 year old.

Can't buy a clearance. The lack of pressure and number of loose Lions around the ground has been extremely concerning. Defence looks nervous as hell. They're giving us a lesson in how to mark.

As well as we've played, the marking tonight has been poor. Very jumpy with the ball in the air the last 2 weeks. but overall I'm EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THIS

I always feel sorry for the poor cleaners/club officials who have to deal with the aftermath..

No offence but you can't be serious.. Gus officially had 10 clangers today, only 1 tackle and just 66 ranking points (Oliver 140, Langdon 110 for scale). That is a horrendous waste of 26 possessions. I can't see how you can think he's possibly improved?

Tom McDonald you star. What a resurrection. Heart and Soul stuff. Fantastic win against a team that was incredibly hungry. Brayshaw is getting shakier by the week. Never feel confident when he has it, it's a real concern for us. He's way off the pace. I'd almost bring Jones in instead next week. Well done guys, what a year. I can't believe this is actually happening.

Brayshaw looks way off the pace at the moment. Slow and tentative.

I had him in at 4th best ?

WAT ?

for me it was Gawn / Langdon / Pickett... Kossie's goals kept us in it. Once again, we should have won by a lot more. But again I'll take it. We'll need to be a hell of a lot cleaner at the G next week,..and if we win that? I WILL BELIEVE ❤️ ?

showing Lever how to take a mark above his head.

What's going on with our centre clearances this year, as in.. why can't we buy one. Also, bad Tmac tonight, looks like treacle and making bad choices. And Lever - if you must insist on soft option chest marks, at least hold them mate.
