Basically, Melbourne were guarding space about 40 to 60 metres in front of the ball so all St Kilda had to do was get over or around that zone (which wasn't difficult) and they were away with loose players at the back. It was absurd.
-
Good thing we have Tom McDonald to zone off him next week.
-
In a strange way, kicking the first two goals didn't help our cause.
-
I agree, I don't think he should be in the team but if he is to be in the team it must be as a key defender.
-
We lack key defenders, Frost is a key defender but for some reason we are trying to make him into a forward pocket.

Not McDonald.
-
Fair call, Harmes should be out instead of him.
-
They were playing a loose man in their forward line.
-
Out: Frost, Bugg, Hunt, Dunn In: Oliver, ANB, Grimes, Brayshaw
-
Great strategy worked well.
-
Three times Jetta was left alone on Riewoldt.
-
He wasn't ready, Oliver should have come back in. When Daisy Pearce mentioned his debut in the pre-game formalities I had flashbacks to Nick McCallum doing the same at Watts' debut.
-
Hopefully he comes out and apologises because he may as well have just run around giving Melbourne members the finger.
-
I still can't get over seeing Tom McDonald running away from Nick Riewoldt in the second quarter. Who does Tom think he is?
-
Sadly, the signs were there in the first quarter when we were winning and even at times against Richmond. We were lazy, making dumb errors and overusing the ball.
-
Sam Frost is special, and not in a good way.
-
We really are a slow team, the fact that the coaches are persisting with a zone that clearly isn't working is disturbing.
-
Funny what happens when you kick it long to our forwards.
-
We aren't even providing any leads for the ball carrier.
-
Staggering.
-
Game over.
-
This is beyond a joke, we are refusing to man up.
-
Free St Kilda players everywhere.
-
Ditch the zone, go man on man.
-
He was kicking it like that in the warm up.
