Carlton are a better team than them this year

CARLTON

let that sink in

... Wow

 

[year of the cat]

Unhappy with BMcC? Unhappy .. well I guess there would be the way they are playing

He didn’t elaborate.

 

[Gunf]

Maxy almost the only Melb player that can hold his head high

 

[Strange Cat]

Half expected him to miss that

 

[winty]

Let's see if Melbourne can ton up. Only need to commit 8 more turnovers to make it 100 for the game.

 

[Strange Cat]

Seriously WTF is this shit

How can two teams skills be this ****ing low

 

[winty]

We'd give 186 a shake if we were playing the Dees tonight.

 

[catempire]

Have any theories ?

I think it doesn’t take much to tip a very good team to being a not so good one. But the magnitude of their demise suggests something bigger at play. No idea what.

 

[Falconx]

I'm starting to think beating Melbourne by 80 points was a rather poor effort. Should have been 120 points.

Goals total?? Thats a big call

 

[Gunf]

Holy crap i may get the margin right at this rate (43) i tipped

 

[winty]

9.12 to 2.5 after quarter time. What a joke.

Well done 43 points it is

 

[Landgraft]

Melbourne are laughably bad. Pretty amazing how quickly they've collapsed in a heap.

 

[InnocentBystandr]

I don't think Richmond were that good (cf commentators), just that Melbourne were woeful.

They were quite chirpy after their final win

 

[Gunf]

After watching that game i am shocked Melb actually have a win

"Wocjinski - he just runs away from them! With speed, he might be thirty years of age - hasn't lost any of it - Kelly, to Ling, Varcoe's on the move, set up beautifully, might go all the way, runs inside fifty, unselfishly - to Johnson - another training drill"

My favourite commentary of all time

 

[Gunf]

Melb % 69.2

 

[Landgraft]

That's the thing isn't it? They were so up and about, but have since gone down like the proverbial lead balloon.

Could end the round on the bottom of the ladder, even if North lose, depending on the margin against Port.

 

[romeohwho]

Ordinary game to watch. Geelong v hawks on Easter Monday was actually an entertaining game to watch. Tonight rubbish.

The only game of Melbs that has been good to watch was ours because well us

 

[Baudolino]

Melbourne's mids are all different versions of the same player. One-paced accumulators with questionable footskills who all want to play the same distributor-type role. If you had one or two of them you'd be happy - on an individual basis they're decent footballers - but they don't seem to complement one another. None of them are really what you would call "receivers" you get that first or second handball after the stoppage and burst in to space. Furthermore their midfielders don't kick goals, so there's no one capable of picking up the slack when their forward line is misfiring, hence the extent to which they've been exposed this season.

 

[cats_09]

9.12 to 2.5 after quarter time. What a joke.

And during the first quarter they were praising Melbourne for hitting the scoreboard with 4 goals in a quarter after their measerly 7 goal match against the Saints

Looks like the commentators spoke way way way too soon on that one
