[blitznu]

Wtf was that

That my friend was the Melbourne Football Club

 

[Ablett2Garland]

somethings rotten at this club, i dunno what it is

 

[blitznu]

Theres last years game we were under the pump all week before this game as well iirc. Same shit will happen theyll just steam roll us from here

 

[PerfectFooty]

Energy is completely down now. Need to find it again otherwise Richmond will blow out the lead for good by 3qrt time

 

[thecuzsays]

After watching this performance up to half time we pretty much just missing Jesse Hogan to break open the forward line and get us a couple goals.

Everything else is promising. If we had lever/may and Tmac forward that's all we would need.

I'm officially drunk now.

Fox Footy saying we should be happy with the first half effort and defensive change.

Nah not at all, dominated contested footy early and the game was even, lose it in the 2nd quarter and we go goalless.
All we did was drop all our numbers back completely behind the ball, no point being better defensively if you go goalless yourself and hardly look like scoring.

There is nothing to suggest we can turn this around now, we fired our best shots already

 

[Crimson Azure]

Effort: 8/10
Poise/composure: 1/10
Skills: 1/10

 

[mrmonkey]

At least the behind we kicked was a bloody good one.

Yes was at least a set shot. This game feels like last year's. We're in it scoreboard wise but we aren't actually in it.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Emphasis clearly on defending this week. Which has been ok considering Tigers weapons and the fact they have 11 more inside 50s. But same issues that has occured all season so far occured that quarter. Winning tap outs comfortably but losing stoppages, and the connection to the forwardline is really poor. Plus we're losing tackles and posessions. Happy with our defensive mindset, but if the same issues keep happening for the rest of the game, we'll lose by 60 as the spirit will break at some stage.

8pts down at halftime isn't awful, but it could get ugly unless we find an avenue forward..

Well get on that bike ya arse shouldnt hurt as much now. Just make sure you wear protection dont want to have an injury (Im not even sure you were talking about riding)

 

[All Aboard the Dee Train]

Defenders can take a bow that quarter. Tmac has been decent since the first 10mins. Frost has been brave too. Not too many balls going behind the marking contest which often kills us (Frost always misjudging the ball). Lynch has done fk all after the first 5 mins (touch wood).
Another week and that could've been a 5 goal to zip quarter. One of the two goals fell into Dusty's lap on the line.
Cannot just let them outmark us when it goes to our 50 though. Especially not their midsize players like Vlastuin etc. If we have to dump it down the line, get it over the boundary so we can at least set up to our strength and get a stoppage.

Andrew Clamprill dislikes this.

Expected that from Brayshaw Senior

 

[Johnny Karate]

100% Brayshaws shithouse effort

This. Frost is shit but tries his heart out. That was so ****ing horrific from Brayshaw. He almost deserves to be dropped for that alone.

 

[PerfectFooty]

clams are the worst

**** Clams!

 

[stEdy]

agree on Braysh, that was an awful look, he looked stoned out there

 

[Topkent]

We;re talking the Dusty goal yeah?

...meh i lost interest

Yeah Frost beat Riewoldt to a ground ball, then ran past Brayshaw to tackled his man and Brayshaw then let Riewoldt walk around him with a little lettuce leaf effort

 

[dmoore30]

What's in it for us?

A win

Have you posted this on both boards?

Wouldn't bother to go somewhere where they wear their own asses as hats.

 

[Topkent]

So apparently in the whole of last season we had 6 goalless quarters including 2 in the prelim
We have already had 4 this year.

I was gonna go to work, but then i got high
