Straight Sets Simon

Seriously, Dom Tyson?

Melbourne are the first AFL team I've seen handball to a stationary target whilst running at full pace.

Who's slower, Trengove or Toumpas?

We are in it because we are playing a rubbish team who are missing their midfield.

Stop playing on! When you play on you can be tackled, when you don't play on you can't.

The way we are playing.

This will be our easiest opponent all year, worrying signs.

McDonald's skills are insipid.

This is the most obvious one.

I love Titus.

Horrendous news, deepest condolences to his family and all the clubs he has been associated with.

It almost has nothing to do with how well they are playing. In the case of Watts, Toumpas they both have that split second of indecision if they will commit to the contest. Viney doesn't have it and neither does Wines. Yes, they are outside players but even outside players need to be comfortable with the physicality of the game and at the moment it is holding them back from becoming good AFL footballers.

Agreed.

Someone had to play them.

Back to reality which is probably a great thing.

We should get great insight into Sydney now.

We reached that point 10 minutes into the Richmond game.

He's just about one of the first players selected.

I only saw the second half because I was flying home from Sydney.

There's plenty of parking in and around the ground. This issue has always been everyone leaving at the same time at the end.

I didn't realise that, fair call.

I felt as though the players still aren't quite going off their instincts yet. I think it will take time to get the balance between doing the disciplined game plan things and the instinctive attacking footy right.

Just 13 disposals was a bit of a worry.

Ross Lyon took a punt, almost won two flags (mind you he inherited a pretty good list) but left the St Kilda list in the worst shape possible. Even when you consider they had very few draft picks over the recent years, the choices they made with their picks were on par with those of Barry Prendergast.
