Didn’t Goodwin call out McGinness from hawks for how Langdon. Played he is a hypocrite

The club is full of sooks. Blame everything but themselves for bad performances. I swear they look at expected score and claim the win.

It's why their game plan and list hasn't changed dramatically since 2021. Refuse to make themselves accountable.

Got the 4 points and kept a clean bill of health.From now until about round 20, that should be the only thing that matters.

I am happy for us to stay in 3rd to 4th gear until round 20, even if it means our wins are more ugly than the wins we have had to date.

Just focus on banking wins, doing our best to maintain a clean bill of health (even if it means being overly cautious with some players with minor niggles) , focus on finishing our rest rotations by around 20.

Then with any luck , we can start ramping up /fine tuning our game plan and intensity over the last 3-4 games of the season heading into finals.

I’d say Nick got the points?

yes melbourne had a good game style and the weather was less than ideal, but did anyone else feel the squad as a whole was down on energy , was very similar to the last quarter of the geelong game?
Never felt like we were willing to speed up the game to break through the melbourne wall and avoid their set defense that was clogging up the corridor and the outer wings.

So now Gawn is covering for May's shitness, even though his initial reaction was the correct one.
I like Max, but for the sake of the ostensible team culture, he's making out that May was right.
They need Melksham to repeat the Entrecote dose on that piece of excrement.

I did notice that we did not seem to adapt as dynamically to their chosen game plan as we have in other matches.
Could be down to lack of energy (since we are in the last set of teams to enjoy the bye), could have been due to the heavy conditions, could have just been a relatively "off" day.
Great teams find a way to win, even on an off day.

Of all the dumb takes…

Be honest, are you WHE’s mum?

i'm not Cheryl lol

I've gotta side with the Pipe here, that caller was a moron.

I don’t wish injury on anyone but May has to be the exception.

Then that means you do wish injury on someone.

I only want one of his legs to fall off completely.

be careful Dees fans will report you for injury trolling lol

I think Gawn is getting too much credit here. He took 6 marks, not 16. Cameron was as much, or more, of a marking problem for them with 9. Gawn's marks weren't even close to game breaking.

He certainly broke the game open with his last kick.

Will give you that one Gawn and Oliver gave us a real leg up late.

 

[3rdMan]

Need to mention Steele again. That goal from 50 off a step or two another ripper. That's three goals from 50 in the last two weeks (unless I'm confusing the Hawks game with Roos). Distance on his kicks was something I thought he'd been losing even with his improved form (GF miracle aside), but he's been dismissing that.

 

[beez]

Exactly. It’s bizarre the plaudits Langdon is getting for his game yesterday. He reduced his opponents impact moderately while completely negating everything else out of his own game. That’s always been regarded as a loss in the big book of taggers.

I thought Langdon had a very good game; his tactics worked. Melbourne's tactics worked.

He kept arguably the best player in the competition to, as you say, moderate impact. One of the reasons we've been very successful over the last 2.5 years is because of Nick.

Langdon's primary role was to stop Nick and he did it successfully, and it was one of the reasons why Melbourne was in the game up their eyeballs against the best team in the comp.

But happy to disagree.

This was a script the WWE would be proud of! Well staged AFL! Turned me off AFL, but yeah, hope you get those short term dollars!

Even pausing the song again.... and pan immediately to the May/Gawn incident.... too fake and poor scriptwriting!

Not a product worth investing in anymore sadly.

How good of a tagger is Naicos btw? Kept a career 20 disposal player to just 4, all whilst getting 19 disposals and 1 goal himself. The man can do it all.

He's just doing this shtick for attention.
