Game Day Thread: Melbourne V North

[SunKing]

No shame going down to the roos they have some serious young talent.

 

[Pjkimber]

Does anybody think we went in too tall and are missing jordie mckenzie?

 

[THE D]

We are just playing poor footy. North are pressuring like we have the last 3 weeks and we don't have an answer. Not switched on at all.

 

[jamespssmith]

This was always going to happen. It's good development for us - last two weeks we played one-on-one and got free-flowing run off of half back. Now North are playing a completely different style and chocking our run.
Though Green has kicked 2 in a row so not all hope lost XD

 

[rhaz]

2 goals in a minute to Green... one from a soft/technical free kick, the other by 2 great kicks from davey --> petterd ---> green

 

[jamespssmith]

THE D is right, they need to lift and start running more - take risks and don't change the way we play.

 

[rhaz]

petterd has some shoulder woes... wouldnt be suprised if he missed a game or two sometime soon

 

[jamespssmith]

They've lifted.. 3 in a row.

 

[pezz]

Brad green if you get us out of this mess you can have my first borne son or my misses.
whichever suits best

and there is our problem. all this good play through the midfield, gets to the 50 meter line.... no options. need a tall forward. watts will be in the side soon i'd think, round 8 vs WCE still looks good to me. probably martin out for mine

trengove a 50 meter and goals!!

 

[jamespssmith]

I'm happy with this. I don't mind any result now, just had to clarify the last three weeks weren't a fluke. Good spirit Melbourne

This, but it doesnt excuse the abysmal skill errors. So frustrating.

 

[pezz]

Sylvia omg

 

[rhaz]

Why didnt stefan go for the kick? I would've thought he could make the distance there.
Once again we needed a big forward up there

 

[ptrg]

come on dees! fight god damn you, fight!!

 

[Bartram_Class]

Roos pressure has dropped off, and we were able to get back through the centre, cue onslaught of goals.

Still a mountain to climb, but I BELIEVE. Come on you Demons.

 

[ptrg]

i believe

 

[pezz]

ahhhh shit
needed that first goal

Comeon Dees plenty of time to go

 

[Darksidepoints]

Frawley sounds like a bad concussion....

 

[pezz]

all over

 

[jamespssmith]

Not over yet, they are still running... three quarter time came too early lol

 

[Darksidepoints]

Need a goal, now...

 

[jamespssmith]

great goal petterd. aaron davey is on fire, give it to him.

 

[rhaz]

Need a goal, now...

petterd delivers.

need a quick one out of the goal square now to give us any hope

 

[Darksidepoints]

All over now.

Great 3rd qtr, but an absolute spud of a game.

Way too many skill errors. A complete 180 from last week.

Another shocker at the Dome.
