MATCH THREAD v Nth Melbourne !!

[sainters85]

we can't even do the basic things.. seriously what do they do at training?

[Scollop]

I am in no doubt now that we are tanking when Farren ray has the job of kicking out

Well its looked obviously the last 11 weeks

[crippsy]

Scary thing is I dont think we are tanking!

[bigred]

So smashed on the outside.

Soooo Smashed.

We are just so poor at basic defensive skills at the moment.

That said, we had plenty of opportunity to be a lot closer.....

I hate losing like this.

That is a very good question.

School boy stuff. Shepharding, crumbing, goal side, keeping your feet....

[Freebird]

Shents comes on and is involved straight away. Recon he is really showing something and worth persisting with.
Way ahead of Ross, Newnes, Saunders, dunnell, simpkin, Saunders IMO. really has a dip, but importantly, he gets the ball and uses it.

Add Hickey, Roberton and many more to that list

[SMS]

KICK at least 2 more gols SAINTS!

[Wrote for Luck]

I think it's a bit rich to have a go at Newnes. He's been one of not many younger players on an upward projectory at the club to show clear signs as to be a legit AFL player. Webster the other.

Unlike Geelong our seniors have not maintained their game/fitness and have let us down badly.

We lack strength speed and stamina - we struggle to out bustle our opponents, run away from opponents and stay with our opponents

[samuraisaint]

How could Dunnell miss that? Fair dinkum!

Apart from that and a lack of skills we're just fine!

[bobmurray]

Only 4 minutes to go, thankfully

[SainterK]

10 individual point scorers today

[perfectionist]

10 individual point scorers today

Oh no. Not another record we don't want to hold.

[whiskers3614]

If we can stop them scoring for 5 minutes, we will have lost by less than Melbourne!

[whiskers3614]

yAAAAY KEPT IT UNDER 10 GOALS!

[perfectionist]

Bet all those people who said we'd lose by ten goals are sorry now.

Melbourne are way better than us unfortunately, better list and a very very good coach

[samuraisaint]

3 goals in a match played in excellent conditions. Appalling stuff. Really atrocious to watch.

I feel a bit sorry for some on here with Gwilt playing a reasonable game.

debateable. At least we know where we are. Stone motherless last. Melbourne have not made the inroads they were expected to make this year. Roos has said that he will only stay two years at Melbourne anyway, so they have one more year with him to develop all the players who have underperformed with them for 7 years. Dicey.

Agreed.
