Buzzy

Rivers is just too messy to ever be an A grade midfielder unfortunate. Regularly coughs it up in close under pressure. God we are fumbly today.

Petty going to ground is under 10's stuff.

Langdon has got to be the weakest 1 on 1 contested player in the AFL. Has not improved in that area at all. Makes total sense the Goodie put him on ball for our last centre bounce against GWS.

how many times can we get caught with the ball? So embarrassing!

When you're already a rubbish kicking team like we are, it doesn't help when you make incredibly dumb decisions too. Turnover City, this is putrid.

we are cursed with so many poor kicks of the football, it's devastating.

How's our skills 😂.

That effort by Salem in defence was weak. Walters had all day.

We're that desperate for depth, we have no choice but to keep him.

It's Ball Use. The current crop are awful with ball in hand. The reason fans aren't turning up and the game style looks a mess is because there's barely any decent kicks on show - therefore no flow/lots of cheap turnovers. Lack of confidence makes it worse. It's not going to be any better next year. There are no skillful on-ballers coming through to chop-out the scrappy contested players. None. We just have to rely on constested ball and get way more of it. Chocco can only do so much when the skillset ceiling is LOW.

Can't wait for another season of this exceptional ball use in 2025.

Just amateur skills all night. All that effort wasted by sloppy kicking and lack of composure. It's always going to be this way with this bunch.

See, Billings? That's how you take a mark and finish in the Forward 50.

We are doing our best not to win this. I feel we are about to be punished again for lack of polish.

yeah i probably would have subbed off Billings not JVR

I mean, we're having a crack, but our skills are just 😑 We're such a messy team to watch, I guess we bring the others down to our level though too. Ugh.

I can't stand Billings, I swear at least half of his touches are diabolical for our momentum.

We won't do anything, this club doesn't have the guts.

Well, that was pretty sad and boring to watch. Actually thought we were becoming a dependably competitive team there for a while, but that's a distant memory now. 1 x compromised premiership and zero finals wins in the next 3 seasons is a travesty for this group. Very disappointing.

The writing was already on the wall before Petracca went down, there were alarming signs everywhere.

Steadily transitioning into an irrelevant and soulless team again. Can we change the coach before it's too late for this group, seriously.

Clayton ranked only above Woewodin for us ... what's going on there? He is a shell of his former self.

Really disappointing 2nd quarter after the effort in the first. We've lost nearly every 50/50 contest, playing tentatively and slow - and our inside 50's are a mess, as per. Need to play smarter, the Bombers will tear us a new one if we are this sloppy.

2 goals 7 in a half of footy, how depressingly Melbourne.

This was supposed to be a relaxing night. Don't you dare give me hope.
