Analysis Death-Riding Melbourne 2018 (now with poll)

[Bearded Clam]

Shit wish we had your first rounder, would be looking ******* good

6 wins in a row... 5 of them against bottom teams and one against an injury depleated crows, who were well on the way to the bottom 8, and you Dees fans were up and about basking in the glow weren’t ya... gee, didn’t you thud back down to earth fast today..

You’ll make the 8 because your pea hearted team has the soft draw... but you’re miles off winning the GF at this point in time.. your blokes were absolutely monstered today.. completely crumbled under pressure j ffs the one sided umpiring favouring the Dees couldn’t even help you..

I think you’ll be giving us around pick 12-15... and in a draft where many are saying the top 20 players would all be top 5 picks in any normal year.. we’ll definately enjoy spending it..

Pear v Dees at AO after the bye will be interesting pear win Melbourne could drop 3 spots assuming both powa and North beat the doggies and pies beat the blues, giants also have the lions after the bye so they’ll probably only be half a game behind the dees as well. Soooooo go pooooort!! (YUK)

The battle of the flaky front runners.

Got to feel for the town of Snowtown. All they did wrong was house a disused bank and not have an inquisitive mind.

It was the natives in Salisbury North who should cop all the heat.

Surely they need a name change

 

[Jarman3]

Ah Melbourne - never change . You'd think they'd turn after goody and Bernie ( and Peter Vardy )

What's James Sellar? Chopped liver?


Oh wait... He basically was chopped liver, yes. Carry on.

 

[cmndstab]

So, no Lever, no Melbourne, I guess?

Ive seen so many thrillers and horror movies in my life, some as sick as Centipede. However, the movie Snowtown scared the fcuk out of me that night, when they led the guy into the bank vault with 10 guys watching for him. Sends chills every time. I guess its real which is what makes it terrifying.

Common. This is a death riding thread. We set ourselves up for a bit of banter surely. I don’t see how you can have a thread like this and not expect some payback.

At least Melbourne flogs should have a bit of leeway surely. I agree it’s no business of fans of the other clubs. But fairs fair.

We have to take our medicine on this.

 

[Simmo28]

Happy with the Port win, our season is shot and Port won’t be winning the flag so best thing is a Melbourne loss.

Yep. Time for Melbourne to get the wobbles up and then implode, Adelaide style.

 

[jackster83]

Melbourne are this year's Port circa 2017.

Good at beating up bottom 8 sides, but their crap forward line gets found out against the better sides.

 

[Sanders]

On the fringes of the team? JJ has been selected in the team every game he’s been available for the last 4 years.

What?

 

[Crow till I die]

Melbourne won't make top 4. They will sit somewhere inside the bottom 8 come seasons end and hopefully get bundled out in an elimination final giving us pick 11 or 12

 

[Cleric]

Yay, go the Paer

Agree, I thought they were certain top 4 after flogging us big time (given they haven't beat anyone noticeable up until then) but then we now know we are crap and can't compete with all the players out, they are 8-5 with 7 wins against teams in the 11-18 that's saying something.

 

[RePete]

Melbourne can probably only afford to lose 1 more game if they want to be top-4.

They play:
St Kilda
Dockers
Bullfrogs
Geelong (away)
Crows (away)
Suns
Sydney
Eagles (away)

A few tough games there. Look like a prime candidate for 5th.

If there is one game I want us to win this year, it is that game against them...and we might if we can have our full squad (minus Crouch and Smith) take them on then.

 

[hey shorty]

They'll win half of them.

Finish 6th.

 

[kulak]

They've had a pretty good year to this point It'll be interesting now to see if they plummet down the ladder without the heart and soul of their list. Losing the spiritual leader of the club like this has got to hurt. To see such an inspirational player so brutally cut down by injury has got to have an impact on the rest of the playing group.

Might have been one of your better calls here Jarman3, Dees are already 0-2 without Lever.

Lol

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Melbourne really should have won last night. They smashed them in clearances, contested possessions, inside 50's and still lost. One of the worst chokes of the year.

 

[El Doederino]

Where have all our Melbourne friends gone

Their ball movement into the forward fifty was appalling. Long bombing to no one, hack kicks to contests and no real structure at all. Dare I say it they could use a player like Tom Lynch.

Not a bit of leverage ?

They don't really have any trade currency left in terms of draft picks to land that trade, though. Maybe they'll put Lever on the table . Although his value has declined significantly what with the dodgy knee and all.
