I am so happy. This team has really helped me get through this godawful year. Imagine that. A consistent and dependable Melbourne team, in my lifetime. ❤️💙

2 major issues in this disastrous quarter. Our defence look panicky and slow. They are scoring every time they go in. May, Lever, Petty can't handle the chaos down there after the spoil. Nobody at ground level for us up forward, it's rebounding out way too easily. Danger signs everywhere.

Rivers was fantastic tonight, desperate when it mattered, made great decisions, held his marks, hit his targets. SOLID.

Please, anyone can 'take a defender' and allow others space. He's not a decoy, he's there to kick goals. He was well below his best and barely got near it. 4 possessions from a roaming forward with his tank is not good.

What's going on with Tmac? Almost replace him with Melksham at this point..

BRAYSHAW stop disappointing me

the only thing worse is his looping handballs over his head straight to them

FRITATA

Ben Brown is really annoying me tonight.

Brayshaw you are killing me.

Salem is really slow.. like his little legs are pumping but he never gets anywhere :D

If Trac could kick this would be done. His kicking technique is nasty. Just need that belief in front of goals, the tentative vibe is creeping through the whole team and it's been an issue all year. Brilliant behind the ball and loving our contest work. Just focus on winning this quarter and we've got it.

I turned it off too... it was too painful... but luckily I turned it back on at 3 quarter time!!!

What's the bet Brown doesn't take another mark for the game. Tmac? Any danger of getting involved?

Brayshaw has hacked EVERY KICK

Turning this crap off.

There is literally no point playing Hawkins body on body, that's what he wants! May is giving 10 kilos. F#@cking tsunami of goals

man, our forward entries and ability to find space are just so disappointing. We're just hacking kicks all over the ground, they have more polish when it counts.

He's kicked it well over the full forward's head twice to be fair

it's annoying that it's frequently Langdon that has to deliver the final inside 50. Both our wingers aren't really A Grade in that area. We're doing well, it's just our skills we need to clean up.

Seems to be good at getting his hands on it at centre bounces, more than Jordan was anyway. Just needs to build confidence with his decisions and disposal.

He's too slow to play in the middle for more than a cameo now - he can't react / change direction fast enough. It would be offset if he had elite skills but he turns over handballs frequently too.

What is clayton's thought process. Wide to Spargo in the pocket? We have to clean this up. Fritta my man

this is the most disgusting kicking game around the ground I've seen all year. We're kidding ourselves if we play like this in a couple of weeks.

Brayshaw is so far off the pace it's not funny. He has to be under threat of losing his place, you can clearly see he's not switched on, just drifting around making no impact either way. He's our lowest ranked player by a mile. Lingers on the other wing busting his gut with 21 already.
