The irony that we're now dominating but can't kick goals because we're mentally weak.

Lever has been great back there. Our backline has really been strong lately. WEID ohhhh no.

???. Brayshaw thinks he's Dusty.

HE'S NOT ANYTHING

Harmes. 4 clangers already. Tomlinson a liability, always one step off the pace as usual. Our lack discipline and composure is under 10's stuff, it's embarrassing. Vandenburg, are you serious? Do you actually want to get picked again? They have free players everywhere, the pressure meter must be at record low levels. Basic fundamentals, why are we so bad at them?

He looks... painfully slow too. If he can't go full speed, why are we playing him? He's clearly hampered by his body or his mind right now.

Shame we had to play the bottom team tonight, hard to take much out of it. Great to pile on a few at the end, but the skills were a worry all game as per usual. Horrible first half against what is basically a rabble. None of the players we brought in improved us in any way really, however we didn't miss the fast food chain brothers at all. Stephen May was a PRESENCE. We're lucky to have him. An under pressure bogey side in North Melbourne will be a huge step up for us.

Nick Reiwoldt said it best last night and there's no escaping this hopeless cycle we're going to be in for another 8-10 years until the list gets completely turned over again. We just have a large number of players who: a) have poor skills b) are bad decision makers. May God have mercy on our souls.

Have we got a decent assistant who can coach the year out? Not you Alan.

This is pointless, kicking goals now. It'll just take the heat off. Lose big with pride you cowards.

All week : "Melbourne have turned a corner".... Hahaha now Port practising different game plans agains us because they can. It doesn't get lower than this.

How good is the Festival of Football ?

I N S I P I D

Perfect way to start the quarter. Handball error then holding the ball. ?

Chillingly accurate way to describe it ?

and handballing just as bad

God we suck going forward. Horrendous and outnumbered always. And yet Port just walk it in. It's soul destroying.

I literally just said that modern footy is now much more than just your own opponent. That you need to have an attacking side. Then you go ahead and quote his direct opponent's stats? It's you that's not getting it mate.

'Don't understand Modern Football'? What a load of sanctimonious rubbish. Modern Football requires athleticism and players that aren't one trick ponies, i.e those lumbering low possession defenders without an attacking side, who can't move or think quickly enough to help rebound from D50. He struggles more than others when he has to get across to the free players because of HIS limitations. It's not our structure that makes him look reactive and slow. He is literally just reactive and slow as a person. Yes he plays 'a role' but it's a severely limited one, which is always going to leave our team at a disadvantage in pressure situations against the better teams. We may as well be one short when it hits the deck. HE IS INCREDIBLY SLOW and can't think his way through tight situations. Yes, we probably don't have anything better to bring in right now - but everyone can see how limited he is, he's not a whipping for no reason. Blaming the Structure is just an excuse for those limitations.

Dangerous tackle? P*$$ off it's not Netball FFS. What is happening to AFL, it's a joke.

Unbelievable that we're still kinda in this. We're due a bit of luck, they've had a bit tonight. Could we?.........

I'm blaming the forwards pathetic kicking. ..and how goddamn missing we've been at ground level, in every part of the ground.

FFS Bennell

This is hard to watch. Last week everything we did seemed to work out. Tonight we are bungling every single part of the game. Except that goal just then by Melksham.. very good carry on

that strategy worked fine back when the only tactic was to torp it long to full forward.
