Buzzy

This is vintage Dees F50 efficiency, feeling nostalgic 🥳

Because he's not an [censored] and knows it was an accident?

Well done Dees, really showing care for eachother with your disposals, as always.

If we miss the 8 this year, is there anyone that wouldn't support 'Goodwin Out'? Surely it would be time. We have wasted what should have been a golden era. I suspect the players don't care enough any more. There is nowhere near the required pressure being applied. What an embarrasment, this and West Coast. YUCK

This is typical of Melbourne games this year. Messy. No flow. Slow transition. Clogged forward line. Poor/wasted final kick. Inaccurate. Leaning on defence. We're kidding ourselves if we play this style against the big boys.

I am so bloody sick of dominating inside 50's and losing due to forward efficiency. Over and over and over.

Are we ever going to play attractive footy again? So hard to watch this year, even when we're winning.

This and his fumbling 👎

About 6 minutes of that game was enjoyable. Clanger city, just real ugly stuff.

Funny to think of the millions of times they've kicked footballs in their lives yet miss targets by 15 metres most weeks. Geelong will be licking their lips watching this. 🤢

missed tackle, dropped mark, nervous handball, dud kick, caught with the ball. Repeat

Lot of decent first efforts but then we have a lil rest and they sprint forward. I would really love if we could string together some chains and lift the level of footy, because it's not that enjoyable watching us butchering the ball against a weak side.

We have literally nobody else to bring in. Our depth is woeful.

That was a very 'Melbourne Season 2023' type game. Bit of an ugly mess, but effective D all over the ground.

Billings will not want to watch that game again. Snatching at chances is one thing, but that attempt at a tackle on Rankin was not our brand.

So glad I made the journey up for that. It looked like half the team had never touched a footy before. Can't blame the humidity when it was clear most of the fumbles were simply due to absolutely sh*#ng ourselves under pressure. We are definitely carrying quite a few non-AFL standard players and our depth is horribly thin. Schache no. Laurie no. Stop forcing it, it's not going to happen. FLAT.

Absolutely dominant. But left a lot of chances out there, as per last year. Praying for some forward half confidence & composure in Round O.

Tomlinson got a 5 year deal on $500K a year. Figure that one out.

Steven May played like it was the last 3 minutes of a close game. Fumble-town.

Understand there are some ' cobwebs' to blow out, but let's be honest, the skills, decision making, and i50 combination was pretty poor, so I'm not sure what to take out of it - beside some fitness and Kynan Brown being refeshingly adept at the level. What is Blake Howes supposed to be? People keep talking him up and supposedly he's 'athletic' but didn't look like it at all today... Who is he supposed to play like?

Pretty disappointing if McAdam is the best new talent we can bring in to this forward line 😐

I think we're purely struggling under the weight of a having a hugely competitive ball winning midfield who unfortunately are just not great kicks. Under pressure they just aren't lowering their eyes, as we all can see. Not sure why it won't sink in, but it's going to keep costing us year after year with this midfield group. I know it's compounded by our lack of forward 50 ball winners but in reality this group are hamstrung by their skill limitations. It's a real shame. Imagine the Brownlows and GF's that we'd win if any of Trac, Viney & Clarry could kick like Hodge, Mitchell & Lewis...or Voss, Black & Lappin. Ugh.

How would Grundy have helped? Not a forward, it's been proven.

There's no way he will get suspended for that, will be a joke if he does.

Wow, could never have guessed it would be wasted inside 50's and forward efficiency that would be our undoing, who could have seen that coming.
