Negatives

[M29]

So far this year.

1: Loss interstate round 1. (Yes, it hasn't been played, but we will lose.)
2: Relying on the same players each week.
3: Losing to St Kilda. (Which we did last year anyway.)
4: Kicking for goal. Last night highlighted we must be training on grounds with no posts. Shocking misses. Hirds was bad last week, but that patch where we missed 6 or how many in a row was shocking!

Suprisingly can't think of anything else yet.

Murphy made a few blues. Wasn't very happy with a free kick he gave away in our defensive 50, among other things

Bolton - What's he there for???

Allan - Ruckwork is a big boost, but his work around the ground leave a lot to be desired

Our defensive matchups
Mercs - had Milne run rings around him
Fletcher - got outmuscled by Gehrig too often
Wellman - Got injured
Bolton - ****, we gave him a 3 year contract!!!!
the return of Solly, Welsh and McVeigh is keenly awaited...

Physical intimidation - where was it?

Some very stupid turnovers, and some decision making which cost us goals

Poor delivery to the forward line, things just fell to pieces at half forward.

I couldnt see the incident properly, but could one M.Lloyd be heading to AFL House on Tuesday night following a 'collision' with Nick Riewoldt?

Don't think so, but i've only seen it live...

Bolton was vintage Bolts last night.

When McVeigh and Welsh come back where to for Mercs ?

And don't forget Cupido. I'm not sure that Sol will make it back for the round 2 clash. But he should be back by round 4, I imagine.

I still don't understand why Sheedy gave up at half time (considering we had the better 2nd quarter) and played Fletch up forward for the entire second half. He also threw Allan forward in the last quarter as well as benching Hird. Obviously won't be done in the real stuff, but still I'd like to have seen a proper game.

To be honest, I am a bit ****ed off thaht we screwed it up in the end...

It was as if we played for the first half, then messed around with positions and match ups for the second. If sheeds didnt wanna go after it, why make it that far into the comp in the first place?

Plus we stayed in Melb for the whole time which is a big bonus.

 

[bacon buster]

we really missed welsh and mcveigh, as milne really gave us the run around.

Is it just me or did Scotty Lucas look like he was trying to be terrible against StKilda.

To be fair he had a couple of good games to start with but I think he may have had 3 fumbles on his stat sheet for the game.

He can look very ordinary whe he isnt best on ground.

Not only him, but the whole team.
