Review Dees v Norf - the Good, Bad & Fugly and a Happy Norf to you all

[schmuttt]

I think the players and club staff more broadly would be seeing all of the negative feedback on social media, here, Reddit etc and they're getting a bit defensive about it.

We have no choice but to double down on said criticism

Make some noise Dees fans!

Good: I enjoyed watching Roos young guns running around and using the ball nicely.

Bad: we had none of them doing so for us

Ugly: this club and the people who run it.
Edit: also Oliver. How you can be that fat and play elite AFL week in and week out is a modern day medical miracle.

As one of my favorite coaches Said" Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining!"

Love this one, wife regularly dishes it one out when I'm copping a spray too.

[PerfectFooty]

Deserved honestly

 

[Charlie_s123]

Pretty sure we had an obvious htb taken off us recently due to a play planting their face into the ground. Lost by under a goal not long after too … no staging in that case though?

 

[Toump Ass]

Pathetic going scoreless for a whole quarter against Carlton but now we're doing it against a team that hasn't won four games in a season in living memory.

Just watched first crack and Montagna says melbourne are back to their defensive style after trying to hard to play attacking. So let's expect to see many more goalless quarters, more doing enough to win the game and park the bus.

They tried about as hard as I tried in year 10 maths

70 def 67 = premiership winning formula.

Inspirational win to get our season back on track

A win is a win, very pleased.

I'm just so thankful for everything the club has given us and continues to gives us

Lol im watching it now. He showed we're back to playing along the boundary line with even slower ball movement and he said expect Melbourne to look even more boring how could we look even more boring

May got done for staging but if the ump had blown the whistle fast like they are meant to, it wouldn’t have gotten to that point.

 

[melbournemartin]

Why did we sub out Salem?

 

[Demon Attack]

Carried a knee knock into the game and iced it up on the bench.

It is possible Goodwin wasn't going to use the sub at all

 

[Ando727]

Goody's stubbornness and dourness is just so exemplified but the Brown sub move not happening until 10 mins to go.

Other coaches are getting bolder with an early sub but no, Goody keeps him sitting on the pine until the closing stages even on debut.

The bloke has no flare, no spark, no aggression in his decision making.

I'll have you know Goody is working incredibly hard behind the scenes...

 

[Topkent]

We are the 5th worst scoring team in the competition, 50 points more than the saints on the season after trying to be an 'attacking' team
There is so much pointing to us falling heavily over the cliff even more than I saw coming.

It makes sense though tbh. The style we were trying to play we were getting belted. And we simply don't have the pieces to pull it off. With Trac down and key players out of form, what option do we have?

We wanted some kids playing, and that's what we got. We actually had more under 22s than Norf. Lever comes back and our defence is our strength, so it makes sense we'd go back to a more defensive style. Our back 6 is still pretty solid. Riv looked very good in the midfield..hopefully he stays there and we see Koz and Sparrow and maybe Kolt thrown in there in the coming weeks which might make it a bit more dynamic. Forwardline still an absolute mess. No idea what we do there.

When 25+% of your team can't manage more than 1 mark per game, then you know you have a problem.

Go out and spend money on/trade for a forward and wonder why we still look the same again next year?

 

[melbun]

Delivery into the forward line is a bigger mess.

Rivers, McVee and Koz into the centre please. Viney and Oliver ain't working anymore.
