PANIC PANIC PANIC

So Gawn marks. We control the footy about 75 out. Instead of calmly waiting for a short option or a lead he quickly turns and rolls around on his right kicking it to no one! They gather the spill, cough it up, we cough it up even worse with more panic and worse skills than them (if you can believe it) they then just put speed of foot on the ball and kick and easy joe - the - goose (sort of).

Swap Turner for Petty. And that's saying something. Petty's just not mobile enough for a KF and unable to get much separation, if any, on his man. Useless forward that occasionally gets lucky if the ball's delivered inside super quickly. Our forward line up, methods coming inside and finesse / finishing skills are easily up their with the worst in the AFL. Can't even perform against the worst team in the comp.

Sharp should be straight on for Kolt after half time. Sorry but someone that raw and wet in terms of football smarts, skills and slow reaction / decision making needs to learn it lower down. He's mucked so many moments in that first half. Coach & team killer. Kozzy trying to do too much .... again! Just play the percentages pls. It's a team game!

This club can't handle man on man pressure Won every single source and clearance stat but can't handle a bit of pressure. Constantly turn the ball over under pressure. Nowhere near AFL standard. Woeful coaching, panic stations by so many around and inside 50 No leaders or quality up forward either The forward half madness continues

The Eagles just playing man on man .... That's enough to get on top of us and turn the match

I can't see down the ground but are we seriously saying we're putting Lingers at CHF on Baker!!??? Please tell me i'm mistaken

The game plan is worth Zip if you have zero forward craft, structure, finesse and finish

So Spargo breaks free✅️ Runs straight at the goal✅️ Just needs to kick straight with a drop punt 😬 ❌️ but instead goes for the dinky kick on the instep We get a fast break deep off HB then via the wing and everyone runs away from the player under pressure who kicks it shallow into 50 and Melk then gives away the free trying to come back to the drop that he originally lead away from!! Ad to this ...anytime we go forward = Almost always BLIND PANIC!! Where do we learn this rubbish

No one looks inside when the come towards the 50 Mostly straight line entries straight toward the goal. So easy to defend

Given them a sniff. Left the door open. Dominating almost every single area and only 2 goals up lol... Classic Demons

Always tries to kick the leather off the ball. We are now on the verge of kicking ourselves out of this and handing the Eagles their first win.

Melbourne's forward line, connection & finish in front of goals The nightmare that keeps on giving

Right post FFS

Forward Craft, Connection PLUS Finish in front of the sticks. We SHOULD BE 6 goals up already!!! A better start to the second In this regard but... Fix the above and we will have alot more wins Trouble is it's now 2.5 seasons and 7 games in and we are still crud in this area.

Yep he missed the news of Clazz being managed then digs up some crud... "Look at me i'm still relevant!" As if the club's gonna feed this non-event any morsels

Absolute master class from Ross tonight using the sleeper hold in the first half then ye olde pile driver in the second

Absolutely this. If it wasn't JVR in this week as a bare minimum you had to leave Melk out for AJ I would've gone with AJ for Melk as he brings the chop out for Max PLUS the attack at the drop and pressure / manic tackling at ground level that JVR generally doesn't. We harp on about getting our old mojo back in terms of pressuring inside 50, locking the ball in and/or repeat entries then add a medium forward when we already have one with neither of them renowned for their tackle pressure inside 50. So we are happy to water down the pressure instead of maintaining what we found in the last few weeks that saw us get back on the winners' list? Strange days indeed.

Highly unlikely Roost. He's a good bloke Pendles. A large-ish fine and a slap across the wrist

He who shouts loudest jay We are too often the mild mannered gent

For those who may have taken this the wrong way (not the first or last time on DL i'm sure), that was meant as a compliment to Ghosty ie; Tom is riding off the back of her reports

Stickier than filling the divot with sand that's for sure

Disco

More like Ghosty gave it to him involuntarily!
