Autopsy Rd 16 Blues last quarter comeback ends in heartbreak

[Arr0w]

* I love this club

Even though we will still have some bad moments, quarters, games, we are now seeing the side is willing and able to fight to the end

The maligned Levi, Jack, Setters, Kennedy hitting the scoreboard

Love how this side is developing

 

[dumb]

teague needs to say at the start what he says at 3 quarter time. nice to get back in and take the lead but it's shocking footy.

 

[SOSforPM]

Simpson 1000000 games and you do that...come on!

Good game but!

JSOS, Kreuzer & Casboult well played.

 

[Wickzki]

12 of Melbourne's goals were from either free kicks or plays beginning with free kicks.

Carlton has it in our forward line. Umpire pays advantage, nothing there - Melbourne get the ball. Results in a Melbourne goal.

Nathan Jones plays on CLEARLY, turns it over. Umpire called advantage and then brings it back. Result is a Melbourne goal.

Absolute ******* farce.

If the umpires are even remotely legitimate we win today by 8-10 goals.

Worse than the Pies game and Leigh Fisher's antics in our game against the Saints by the length of the Flemington straight.

 

[HBF]

Flattered by the end result really. Need to be much better with our skills. Some of those kicks in the first half defied belief.

Melbourne down to 1 rotation in the last qtr stuffed them badly. Justice prevails really. We had no right to be in that game.

never flattered, it is why you play four quarters. Only matters what the final score says.

So many close losses this season

 

[JustaBattler]

Oh Simmo....Simmo Simmo Simmo...<embarased face>

love the fightback ...

GO BLUES!!

 

[teknodeejay]

It’s better than the absolute tish show we had under Bolton every week, but the team does themselves no service getting blown out in first quarters / halves.

Silvagni probably BOG for us today imo.

Some real spuds in the back half today. Newman and Plowman together... at least Plowman can do some things okay here and there. Newman is just putrid whenever he gets the ball.

 

[The Flying Doormat]

But for a bit of polish at the death we could have won that.

 

[Blueboys7]

McGovern had 5 disposals. Enough is enough, has to be dropped.

I'm off him.

Pea hearted and gives nothing.

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

How truly pissweak are Melbourne!!

So many players who think they are so tough, when in actual fact they are pathetic.

We’ll be beating them regularly very soon and I can’t wait

 

[HBF]

Just needed a long bomb out instead of trying to perfect every kick and it cost us setting up the winning goal

We tried to be too cute when we got in front.

 

[CFC18]

All but locks in bottom 2 finish, which is the most disappointing aspect.

 

[VeinGlorious]

****

 

[HarryFlashman]

That’s bullshit, setter was a ******* free on the second grab! It was smack to the face!
Next person who says “don’t blame the umpires” I will hunt down & carve their heart out with a spoon!

Ya can’t be serious. We only turned up for the last hour. Our kicking around the ground was atrocious.

 

[LanceRomance]

Horrible game of footy (from both sides).

Very little to take from it.

Only positive is that we never gave up. 4 weeks in a row now. Great to see.

I think there is a lot to take from it

Teagues firsts quarters are bizarre... Don't make sense.

 

[teknodeejay]

Oh Simmo....Simmo Simmo Simmo...<embarased face>

love the fightback ...

GO BLUES!!

I’ll take his error and the rest of the amazing he does over the continuous turnovers by Newman in particular and the weekly Plowman kick out that is straight to the opposition for a 7 point play.

 

[No1Suspect]

Newman can seriously * off, im devo'd williamson isnt fit

 

[JEZZAS BLUES]

At least they showed fight in the last quarter and a bit but not good enough in the first half though...
We have too many that go missing for large portions of the game...

 

[GinTonic]

Not blaming Simmo, it was Newmans fumble from the SPS handball that put us under pressure. s**t game all round.

 

[RAPPA]

JSOS beast mode. So glad he backed up last week with an even better performance

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Wowee, I’m half devo, half over it.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Has been our MO for years

 

[Coops93]

I think the commentators where right when they mentioned the players thinking that there wasn't much time left, chipping it around like there was only seconds left.

Also, Simmo, you've just got to boot that as far as you can. No lasers through traffic in that spot at that time of the game. He should know better
