Game Day Round 18 - Melbourne v Hawthorn - MCG - Saturday July 17, 7.25pm

[Johnny Karate]

Lucky to get the 2 points in the end. Bottle merchant campaigners.

Suns will touch us up next week

We were so outcoached it wasn't funny. Goody just expected a win and so did the boys.

Biggest bathwater drinking team in the game

 

[ImissFrosty]

Does the draw actually matter in terms of where we finish?

 

[ptrg]

Of course. 17th team on the ladder missing a heap of players drew with the top team. They absolutely deserve credit.

Paid to sit there and be cheer leaders? Mate, if there’s ever an opinion required, you provide the stupid one.
Never said anything about hawks not deserving credit

Imagine 6-7 years ago being pissed that we were only 1/2 game clear top of the ladder with 5 games to go

Let's be honest with our % a draw and/or a win makes no difference to us

Only 3% above the cats. Could easily cost us a spot.

Yeah this is true actually.

It’s a strange and special gift

still haven't lost to a top 8 team cant lose to a bottom 4 team in the finals

 

[King Kunta]

Regardless of the result, the lack of composure from our players in the last 5 mins was concerning. A goal up and we're frantically bombing to contests that we haven't won all night. Where's the sense to kick sideways or backwards in order to soak some time and spread their defence?

I get what you are saying, but what positives do you take from that? It was pretty insipid against a team decimated by injury and with a dearth of talent.

Lol settle ya big sook. I know it must be difficult trying to find a way to blame it on the umpires but take a deep breath.

 

[Proper Gander]

Thank * none of the bottom four are going to make finals

So much of our play seems built around getting intercept marks with May/Lever Petty that when a team works around that we go to s**t. Crows did it with fast ball movement, Hawks with their chipping or chaos balls.
Why not win by getting the ball ourselves? We've got the midfield cattle but * around with it and concede cheap clearances every week hoping for intercept marks so we can chip our way to midfield then bomb to a 13 v 15 in the pocket.

People are disappointed by a s**t performance, how dare they!

 

[Clink]

That’s a joke. This team has serious mental problems.

It was honestly unbelievable. Steve May will be pretty ashamed of his effort tonight down back

 

[Topkent]

Yep

Willing to bet my left nut that we won't drop out of the 4

Practically 3 games clear of 5th

All I care about is a 'home' qualifying final

Please lock this thread and never let it be spoken of ever again.

Midfield was smashed mostly. When they did get it they bombed it long or did useless Hollywood crap.

Pity we couldn't lose to North. We could have had the perfect run against the bottom four sides.

I’m getting a really bad feeling about where ‘home’ may be located though.

So maybe it matters less now. God I’m just tired

 

[Daemon]

I honestly don't see us winning the flag this year. We are too inconsistent. I hate saying this but tonight confirmed it.

 

[ImissFrosty]

Can we still get Horne?????
