Collingwood 4.1 25
Melbourne 7.2 44
PREVIEW:
Finding it a bit hard to be excited about this match given our continued poor form and the interstate fixture. While we look good in patches we also look terrible for larger parts and my expectations for the year are quickly fading back to where I thought we'd be preseason. That is struggling to avoid the spoon, worse though I beginning to now think we may struggle to win a match in 2018. In fairness it's not through a lack of effort, but with top end quality thin across the comp losing the top 2 in B&F has really decimated our already slim chances.
Our skills maybe a harder fix, so for mine the number one thing we need to do for the remainder of the season is consolidate our best 21 and also their positions. Whether it was appropriate for Sheahan to comment on our team she's right we're making too many positional changes both from match to match and also across a match. Given our lack of ball winners Molloy is wasted forward and needs to play out the season in defence, likewise King is clearly our best ruck.
On a more positive note it was pleasing to see Hope respond to her axing with a much improved performance against GWS. Hopefully she can back it up against the dees, 2 goals per game for the remainder of the season should be her goal.
Melbourne comprehensively beat us last year and while it's difficult to see a different result a four quarter performance should be the minimal objective.
