Very Jaded

Petracca having a mare

Salo up the ground is SO much better

Not hard against GC

We are always one on four or five. Horrible lack of accountability.

The minute we turn it over they are all over us like a fat kid on cake. Everyone has worked out how to play us. Pressure. Force the turnover (or do nothing and watch us fluff a kick). Run hard the other way. Score.

Yep. Doesn’t look good. Maybe a scratch to the cornea? God that would hurt so much ? Well we are still a stupid team with no skills.

Rubbish rubbish rubbish

Every turnover turns to a goal for them and they are kicking each one of them out their butthole

For the love of god the tackling in the back line is rubbish.

Unbelievable this team.

Yep his ball use has been trash and a major disappointment. Because other than his ball use, I’ve loved his run and spread and his speed on the wing. But he lets himself down with execution and decision making time and time again. Melksham needs a big game today if he wants to retain his spot. When he plays well we play well forward of the Centre so fingers crossed he can pull a finger out today.

There is no comparison. King will be a star for the next 10 years. May was what we needed at the time.

While Max Gawn is in this prime, there is literally no point trying to attract another established ruck. They will battle it out at Casey for most of the year, getting an odd game here and there if Max is injured. We have Jackson in the wings, and he should be hitting his prime when Gawn retires. No point spending decent coin on a backup player, and certainly no point getting rid of Preuss only to get a slightly upgraded version that will service the same need. We need to chase a tall forward in this year's trade period or through free agency. No idea who may be available, and given our rubbish draft position we are unlikely to have any cards to play at the table.

I hate you. But also enjoy for all of us Melbournians currently back home in PJs and on high dosages of booze!

I know you’ve been barracking for this club for a long time. We’ve both been through some truly horrific individual displays from players. Smith has been putrid down back, but he doesn’t come close to some of the truly horrific displays of footy we’ve seen from the likes of Newton, Morton, Gisberts, That ginger kid whose name escapes me, Heffernan, Moorcroft and the list goes on and on and on. The bad days of Nicholson pre-beard, Holland, Carroll pre-jail. Ah memories.

It might mean Gus has to play more game time which I’m happy with. And I think there’s a golden opportunity to rest AVB forward.

More like it’s played at Olympic stadium while Victorians are in lockdown. Gawn and Oliver do their knees in the first 5 minutes. We lose by 1 point.

I think Rivers ahead of Lockhart purely to give him a rest. From what I understand the AFL is planning on cramming a lot of games into the next 4 weeks with 4-5 day breaks between games. Which means we need to look after the younger players. We all know Melksham is Goodwin’s bestie. How he still gets a game in his current form is mind boggling. AVB is on thin ice too, but given how little continuity he’s had I think he deserves a bit more time. I would like to see him playing as a defensive forward.

Hallelujah! A second tall forward. A player who can kick the footy. Jetta. And a far more reliable tall defender in Omac who will make Lever more able to zone off. It’s like the coaches finally caught up to 2020 ?

Lockdown was a lot less painful when I didn’t have to watch Melbourne lose while stuck at home. Round 2 is going to require a LOT of wine.

If this headline said “Jaded is the best kick going inside forward 50 for Dees” I doubt anyone would be surprised either. Our ball use is horrendous.

Definitely there with his wife and two kids.

Hahaha autocorrect at its finest. To be fair, the IDF would have done a far better job in those hotels. Although Israel is back in lockdowns too, so they mustn’t be that great.

I’m so jealous. Never have I hated living in this state more than right now. What an absolute [censored] we find ourselves in. I wonder if Andrews will take any responsibility for employing an incompetent private security company to manage hotel quarantine (instead of the IDF!) which has started this second wave.

Goodwin won 2018 on the back of having a player coming off the back of the square. Once 6-6-6 was introduced his one playbook move was done and he has been lost ever since. Our gamestyle does not suit our players. Simple.
