you can understand in a normal weekend where the kid can get a full SANFL game. Totally inexcusable today.

Bont was very well held. (I have to look for some positive).

You weren't alone I had him well inside my top 20 for us.
Can't work out why he slipped so low, maybe he didn't interview well because his football that season wasn't too shabby.
Why the * does any AFL game ever get played at that shithole ground. It's an embarrassment for a professional sport.
Ended up winning centre clearances 17-8, a stat that the Bulldogs smashed us in last year. Kicked a couple of direct goals from these clearances too. It was stoppage clearances where the Bulldogs were well on top and why we only registered 40 inside 50s.
Berry only had 4 disposals.
Pretty good 4 disposal game.

I thought we played ok in patches. I thought we would lose by 15 goals, so ended up better than I expected. Just shows how far behind the top sides we really are at the moment.
Our tackling was woeful today, so many times the dogs players broke our tackles with ease.
Sloane was good, Berg and Fog looked ok up forward. ROB had a solid game too.

Thought fogarty presented well and was a bit unlucky not to have a multiple goal haul today. His game deserved it
A few cameos but no four quarter performances of note.
Thought Doedee was good. Murray, Butts, Fog, Berg all did some nice things. ROB broke even.
B. Smith is a really disappointing player. Needs to go when it's his turn, continues to take short steps when there is any hint of a contest.

If we were that far off the top sides we wouldn't have beat two top 4 teams this year. Our worst performances have come against the middling clubs, they're the games we need to improve in if we want to start pushing finals again within the next couple of years.
Are we watching the same Brodie? His defensive work has been excellent this year and courage is never something he's been short of. Took a couple of nice intercept marks again today and was fine defensively. I honestly don't understand where your statement has come from.

Sick of Rowe just playing for free kicks. He kicked a nice goal which is what he needs to do, not playing for high contact. Bit of pressure wouldn't go astray.
who do you want to move out of the midfield to get Berry and Pedlar in there. Noting Crouch likely back in a game or 2.

Everything was as expected for me… but the most disappointing was the tackling! This has been an issue for years, and while we’ve had a few good games where we’ve tackled well as a team, more often than not we don’t.

Agreed. Not even a local crowd there to justify it at least being good for country fans
What can I say, but it wouldn't be a surprise to anyone what played out today.
It's exactly as everyone predicted last week.
Weak midfield exposed.
3 midget forward line does not work.
Defence was besieged but did ok.
Lack of class and skills when the pressure is raised.
We are one of the worst teams in the competition with very little actual talent.

what's your issue with it? Playing surface looked really good.

Coaches needed that win to justify ridiculous selections and so they can say "see we've made progress"

TBH given what's gone down at Hawthorn this week it would have been extremely difficult to lose that game.

Melbourne have lost to more bottom 4 clubs than top 8 clubs and cats were average their first few weeks. Those wins aren't has awesome as they seem when you look a little deeper.

well with the number of kids we have blooded this year combined with not having Talia and Crouch all season and Lynch only for the back end, we have double the wins we had last year and may win another one before seasons end. That is progress when measured to last season and about where most of us would have seen where we were at
Well we keep doing stupid s**t.
