Shocking defence efforts but very efficient forward line entries -  almost the opposite of last season -  our backs need to get head in the contest and mids work harder defensively 

Some horrible missed / soft tackles early

With almost 20min to go - such a disappointing crowd -  looks tiny -  MCC members you can sit where you like

Wonder if Ross the Boss being teed up for a return

Straight player swap -  Tomlinson for Hunter??.

I’d be happy for James Hird to take Yze’s position 

Bowey in to replace one of the pressure forwards - Spago or ANB -  we need his kicking skills into the forward line and both lads out of form - particularly ANB.

Leave Brown - but just play deep -  doesn’t lead past fwd 20m arc -  and encourage midfielders / backs to run ball further toward 50m to kick.  Standing 15m out from goal is the only time Brown looks likely.

Out :  Kozzie & Hunt

In :  Chandler & Bowey

Kozzies game and season has to come into scrutiny -  too many time he’s avoiding contact - one handed marking attempt -  tapping ball, kick off ground etc  instead of picking up and absorbing tackle -  he’s naturally hard but has developed soft behaviours that the club needs to stamp out and stop accepting —  because the standards you walk past are the standards you accept. 

Kozzie a few too many soft moments unfortunately 

His hands and judgement are shot -  couldn’t catch a cold - and decision making when he has the ball is poor -  needs to iron out game in 2nds

Ben Brown has become a liability

Will finish as the Clubs greatest ever midfielder

A Smith special

It would be justification and reward for all the times supporters of other clubs have made derogatory comments after you tell them you support Dees.  It would be reward for days of sitting at the MCG with a crowd of 17,000 and just wishing for a competitive performance.  It would be reward for sticking fat through the ‘ 96 merger, the Neeld era and for the nervous mornings during the tanking saga where we constantly worried over what would be leaked to press next.  All of the hardship has made Melbourne supporters the most resilient, rusted on and under estimated - and this is our justification and just reward.

Best appointment we made -  collingwood recruitment fell away after he left and our went through the roof!

I’m a absolute wreck already

For context - a screenshot during Hell & Back, difficult to read but Jackson listed at #2, with what appears to be Anderson #5

Think we've got great recruiters -  but jesus they got the doggies Bailey Smith wrong -  rank him 18th on this screen -  most people at the time thought dogs got a steal at pick 6.

Got to pick Adelaide Oval.   Make bris travel the furthest in quarantine conditions and Goody should shout out to all crows supporters to get behind him and fill oval with red and blue

Viney kicking out of defence = geelong goal

Get Viney out of the middle -  and put brayshaw in the guts

Sparrow -  I just don’t understand the selection

Just now, DeeSince73 said:

Eddie just gives us a big wrap for Gerard Healy to comment on and………nothing. Arrogant [censored]. 

Thought the same -  Gerard has no love for Dees

Sparrow continues to jump on the ball and drag it in - clueless -  who’s doing game review with him! 

New team rule -  don’t let sparrow kick inside 50

Is Brayshaw out there??
