Review Dees v Maggies: Good, Bad & Fugly

[madcapmilkdrinker]

Last 4 matches have seen a return of 11, 10, 8 & 8 goals (today).

Look past the win/loss. It’s a huge problem.

We kick straight today and we have no issues. Most were gettable shots and that can be fixed up. 26 scoring shots against them i reckon is ok.

I thought we had the winner of the last two coaches awards out, but what do I know

Did you have a good afternoon getting drunk in the Members PG?

Agree it's an issue but the solution isn't as simple as Brown = goals, problem solved.

Our ability to lock the ball in our half is compromised when Brown or TMac play. They get marked on too often and can't chase or pressure.

IMO we need to generate more shots close to goal and we need Fritsch, Pickett, Spargo, Chandler etc. to be converting better than recent weeks. I don't think it's worth compromising the game style to bring in someone just because they're accurate.

Stop trying to use logic with old mate.

I don't want to hear Ben Brown mentioned again unless it's him announcing his retirement..

Ben Brown.

100%.

Great win but pretty lucky. 66 points won’t cut it in September against full strength Pies.

If we’re serious about adding to the trophy cabinet Brown will be a must have inclusion in September.

It's not Gillies level of reaction at least for Ben

 

[domus]

Had so many pies nuffs telling me "just wait until De Goey is back!"

And four other dead set best 22 players. But that's okay.

Oliver, Petty, Bowey - and then are you including both Brown and McDonald?

Brown has been left out based on form! DeGoey, Sidebottom, Elliott and McStay are walk up best 22 when fit and available. You can have your full list and I'll take ours! You were very good today all the same.

Wonderfully polite! Pleasure doing business.

We were also missing Daniel Turner and James Harmes. Ben Brown averages 3 goals per game in 2023, clearly keeping our powder dry for September.

being a sore loser.
Bad: JVR jumping too early in aerial contests.
Ugly: Set shot goal kicking.

Had a few opportunities to take a massive hanger tonight! i like it, hell get there very soon

If you're looking for sympathy, it's between shit and syphilis in the dictionary. Mate.

No, no - Jeremy Howe doesn't even play for Melbourne now!

 

[Simon_Says]

loved what i saw tonight.

1. May was excellent first half. Gobbled up everything that came his way.
2. Viney massive, carried us on his back. Deserved BOG.
3. I Honestly Believe that Lever is the backline General. You could hear him with 50 seconds left audibly calling the players to get a man. Desperation i love it! Ultimately we did get scored from a Dacios snap but it was his intent/Intensity.
4. I actually liked what i got from Joel Smith, 1.2 He also has a Deceiving pace off the mark to impact a contest.
5. Tomlinsons best game in a long time.

Would love to know why coach refuses to give Kozzie a run at centre bounces . Might help to get him back into some form.

 

[BaliDemon]

Good: Fearsome back 6, Viney, Petracca, Grawndy
Bad: Another paltry goal return (8) from impotent forward line
Fugly: Kozzie’s atrocious form, The Clique

I really wish a journo would ask Goody this. His form is actually pretty bad, I can’t see why we don’t try get him into the game.
