Game Day Melbourne vs Sydney Swans Sat 8th May 7:25pm

[Mister B]

Umpiring been pretty good all things considered.

We were just outplayed and didn’t make the most of our chances

It really hasn’t. When you have umpires making clear decisions not to pay HTB or incorrect disposal despite having clear line of sight it is a concern for the integrity of the game.

 

[mtooler]

At the ground I would say Florentine and Fox have done more good than bad. Hayward’s miss was costly. Cant see what he offers that Stephens wouldn’t.

Dont even worry about Florent's kicking, he cabt even hit targets by hand now.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Gawn Petracca and Oliver look very imposing in the middle gonna be a colossal effort to reign them back in.

We arent going to have easy 20-30m shots by the look of things they are very good at forcing us wide and taking shots from outside 50.

 

[the hypnotoad]

Florent and Hayward, my goodness, team killers, Fox too. Shocking start from the 3 of them.

florent's been fine

 

[Bonz]

We'd get pinged

Depends on how well we disguise it.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Top 5 contested ball winners are all Melbourne.

 

[mikey_san]

Brayshaw did 4 360 spins as long as they are consistent (but you know they wont be)

Yep, that's clearly not a rule this weekend. We've been done HTB a few times and not paid too tbf.

 

[Dan87]

Papley second, behind Kennedy in our clearances

...

 

[wills2g]

Thats a good transition, we are getting the better of it when its gone to McLean

 

[Ticky009]

Top 5 contested ball winners are all Melbourne.

That's no surprise. Achilles heel for us this season so far.

 

[wills2g]

Thats better Hayward

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

*ing huge.

 

[mikey_san]

ah FFS, Brown....how is that correct disposal?

Nice goal.

 

[RW]

Hayward may have kicked that goal but we won't kick too many by bombing long against this Melbourne defence...

 

[swanssince2002]

They are flooding like its the Hawkesbury River atm... very hard

 

[wills2g]

Hayward may have kicked that goal but we won't kick too many by bombing long against this Melbourne defence...

Dont have a choice, theyre flooding D50

 

[Dan87]

Hayward boom boom

 

[JZ_Skitzo]

Hayward may have kicked that goal but we won't kick too many by bombing long against this Melbourne defence...

Not when they're getting everyone back.

 

[wills2g]

Again, kick to McLean, we get the better of the contest.

 

[ashep]

Very good from Mills there. Shame it ended in a goal.

 

[mikey_san]

Faaa ... we were determined to give it back to them then. Just go to ground on the 50 with it. Umps won't pay if you hold it.

 

[Jeffers]

are mccartins hammys still proppy because he cannot bend over to save himself

 

[swanssince2002]

Backline panicking at the moment... only Rampe has stood out

 

[BarneyBent]

Dawson immense right now.

 

[Superstar swan]

Being overpowered down back
