Grandson of a gun

Close again... only 10 possies and a goal off.

Yeah so you just selectively remember stuff or fail to get all the info and then make a wild stupid post.

Finally a post with some logic in it. I think teams will realise how lazy Jurrah can be and start putting a playmaker on him and trying to expose him. Liam needs to work on this and be aware.

Ha. Agreed whole-heartedly. Don't think Grimes will be ready. Junior and Trengove- yep. Maric- ? How about 2 good performances at Casey in a row? I say McKenzie stays. He was in our best. Agree Bail has to stay too. Why are people up Bennell. He is developing well and does a lot of off the ball work. It depends on whether Beamer gets up or not. Dunn will stay in as he should- has been pretty good since he came back and done his role well in the team (i will eat humble pie on that one). I believe just the two changes. McDonald and Trengove in. Perhaps for Beamer and ?

A point highlighted all far too often by every commentator on every team. Trouble is that clubs won't for fear of over stressing the quads and therefore causing leg muscle strains given the high intensity, quick rotation game that is played nowadays. I agree with you but unfortunately don't think we will see a change any time soon.

Comes with attitude which for us only makes appearances sporadically throughout a game. Great last week. Shite this week. They need to fix their mental intensity.

Yep. How dare a kid who has played 12 games of footy not stand up and carry an entire football club who played pathetically for 60 minutes. YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS. Foolish post. Just another worthless Watts basher. Have a real look at his development before you pot him. What about LJ. His defensive pressure was abysmal for a half and he looked dis interested. Instead of singling out youngsters. If you want to put the blowtorch on anyone apply it to the leaders who should lead by example.

Stupid topic. The grey matter in between the ears of ALL 22 for the first 60 minutes is what cost us. THAT's IT. Oh yeah, i forgot that we have to have a weekly Watts bashing thread.

And upon further reflection might i just add something else.......... A Melbourne of 2007-2009 would have lost that by 15 goals. This Melbourne showed grit when they were shite for 60 minutes and fought their way back. For that i am pleased.

And therein lies the problem as i repair the holes punched in the wall. That is what THIS side needs to learn. Intensity and effort must last for 4 quarters. A pre-season of gut busting high intensity work may be required to drill into these blokes that everything they do needs to be done as if a grand final rested on it. They will learn............. i think. Watts, along with Frawley, Scull and a couple of others dragged Melbourne back into that game. Perhaps people will start to believe now instead of potting this kid whenever they get a chance. In the cold light of day the losing margin will be respectable but the first half won't be. Hopefully INTENSITY is the theme of the post match analysis.

i can't take any more.....

Another free in the forward 50. [censored] it i'm gonna put my fist through something in a sec.

The backs are under seige. Gotta kill their run and flick that pressure switch on...

We have left our brains in Melbourne...... C'mon Lads- lift and show some urgency.

[censored] ME CAMERON !

Need more desire defensively Liam...

Much better start. Good work Jamie...

Once again i would hate to be a forward in the Demon team on days like today. You think the mids and backs could hit a target and move it quickly???

I think we all do...... It is not good enough.

Yeah i know you fool. I'm saying the Melbourne players are stupid for continually giving them away. Just like the stupid Bombers players. Pull your head in...

Wow. Awesome start. There's that competitive performance i was hoping for.......

It's the reverse of last week. 4 goals from free kicks. Switch your (expletive) minds on.

Fark. We just keep gifting the ball to them...

you would think they would have learnt from last week about the 50's.....

PJ our pinch hitting forward
