Reminds me of a few players at Melbourne....

It's pretty simple forget stats we are a one paced midfield, poorly skilled side and by that I mean we continually struggle to kick low 20 metre passes at eye level, when we transfer the ball it is never low and hard It's long high balls, when we get the ball say on the wing watch where they look first always along the line never inside to see if someone is lose to play on quick, Lever is a classic at that. One reason why we slow start is because we are not a quick side we are and endurance side and that is one reason we come back into the last one and a half quarters. As for people blaming the backline last week, if you had the ball coming in time and time again any side starts to struggle, and to the forward line that has been a problem since 22, slow entries balls bombed in. I think we are now stuck between two gameplans so I hope the coaches get it sorted out as we still have a good side but it's how far they can go this year, and there is still 14 games to go.

Didn't Longmire have something to say about hits to players after the Paddy Mc Cartin hit against the suns don't hear him today.

Cannot tap the ball when you don’t jump for it....

And that's the problem, the gameplan, we had problems in 22, 23 we tried to play the same way and the game has moved on, we have several poorly skilled group of players, one paced midfield that became robot like going from contest to contest forward line that stands still waiting for the bomb in. It seems we have tried to marry 2 gameplans and that is the major problem one is old and the other is a problem where you have to move the ball with pace, let's see what Goodwin and co decide to do but it is a problem.

And that's the gameplan in a nut shell.

I have turned the sound off whoever it is has become boring.

Simple the game has changed, we haven't since 21.

Have said the same thing for a while now he seems to have lost his jump and just wants to engage just body contact.

Not yet..

Two words, one paced.

Why is Trac on Reid in the first place is the question.

Ok folks what time or quarter it will it be before the umpires are at fault or hate us according to demonlanders? I go 5 minutes in the first quarter.

I admit I really have not seen much of Jefferson but what I have seen of him I'm not sure not big on contract, throwing some weight around for a key forward and by that I mean crashing packs etc same as Schache and Fullarton, but maybe with another pre season things might improve that's where I wish we would get someone in to teach these guys and fix up JVR's marking technique.

Was he a tall guy with a beard of some sort?

Bit hard nowadays when your opponent is holding the ball will both hands to you your body and six guys on top or around you.

Explain that to gen z..

Spot on forgot about the confetti.....

Nope southern stand 70's

And don't forget the streamers we used to throw...

I believe it was by choice because we were higher up the front row was where all the people with floggers sat.

Yep a guy called Ray cannot remember his last name used to be in charge.

The Melbourne cheer squad used to sit on the wing in the southern stand in the old days....

lmfao thought the same thing.

That last 50 was a bit tough on the cats.
