Straight Sets Simon

That's the thing, he cannot move sideways at all.

Howe just got reported for headbutting Tambling's foot.

That was the worst decision.

McDonald has been pathetic.

Don't you have to be tackled for it to be holding the ball?

Why didn't anyone tackle Ratten? As that ball was coming in Dunn heard footsteps, terrible.

Two classic examples from the Adelaide game: 1) Trengove has a free kick after Adelaide kick it out-on-the-full. Trengove doesn't get back behind the mark far enough and turns a free kick into a pressured kick, as a result he is forced to kick it high in the air and the ball is turned over. 2) Dunn has the ball at fullback, after taking a mark he drifts to his left (instead of going straight back on the line) which means it is now play-on and he is forced to kick on his left foot resulting in a turnover. These are what kill me becuase Melbourne players turn free kicks into pressured kicks! By simply getting back behind the mark quickly, sufficiently and without playing-on Melbourne players can avoid these situations so easily.

Why did McKenzie handpass to Grimes when he could see there were opponents in front of him?

What the hell was that free to Sloane for?

And then misses an easy goal.

Tapscott, seriously if he got back behind the mark quicker he would have been able to pull the trigger earlier and kick it to Watts who was free. Instead he hits a Crows player on the chest.

Pedersen, worst ever tackle attempt. Terlich is losing me.

Why ever kick it to McDonald?

It's been like that for as long as I can remember with Melbourne.

That's why he needs to stay in the backline. At least down back most of the game is in front of him and not behind or around him.

Grimes caught twice, Spencer getting in the way and was not thinking at all.

Pedersen is not only lazy, he is fat and lazy.

Because Spencer was stupid enough to hold his jumper.

The decision to play Pedersen over Gawn has already backfired immensely,

Trengove has a free kick, doesn't get back behind the man on the mark and is forced to kick it high in the air!

Slack effort by Kent in the forward line.

Yes it was good, not "great".

I wouldn't say great, he got that soft free kick by going to ground but he has been better.

Please never leave, Frawley.

A little bit unlucky but he did take the tackle on.
