Waterman is my new favourite player. Works so hard and earns his goals with strength and craft. Even when our key forwards kick multiple goals, it's all opportunistic scrap or free kicks. That's the difference, Waterman relies on himself and as a result is consistent, where as ours rely on the ball bouncing the right way.
Our midfield is bloody embarrassing. Can't execute skills, can't link up, can't stick an effective tackle. It's like we've gone back five years with our "inside bulls" bashing heads over the same ball and the opposition sitting on the outside waiting for us to fumble it to them.
Is Lever's on field coaching so important after all these years? Our defensive structure totally fell apart.
One play stood out with Windsor running down the wing. The camera showed four one on one match ups in our forward 50, every single Melbourne forward ran away from Windsor. It's like they're expecting him to kick it 70 metres. What the actual ****? There was so much space to lead up into, could have been an easy 30m pass to get to 50m out and Windsor could have kept running to receive and create from there. Instead he tries to kick over the defence, and it's easy pickings for the defenders.
I'd love to know what is being said internally. In any modern workplace, if something isn't working, the workers are encouraged to challenge the status quo and champion change. But for years our players are happy doing what they're told. Culture is shit.
