Without May the backline is exposed and Melbourne's front running mids have to get back to help out which leaves their forwardline exposed

Can’t even blame the loss on missing May.
The Swans belted them around the ground and were well set up behind the ball.

Three losses in a row!
I’m counting Queens Birthday as a given.

They cannot win against top 4 teams. A reality check for the Dees

Just keep refreshing this thread
They’re coming in hot already lol
Wish we had a brief premiership era. Dees be right so long as they don’t meet the Bullies in the finals.

Going through a form slump now the dees, Happens. Better to have it now then finals. Either way Melbourne arent unstoppable, which is good for the league. We don't want a comp like the NRL where there is 2 or 3 dominant teams and noone else has a chance
A lot of lazy football happening. A lot of people forget we were one odd umpiring call from being 4th last year, and one goal away from losing the GF last year..
That said we should be a lock for top 4 and after that who knows

They started last year in a form slump, and have mostly started this year in one. Big expectations for them based on last year but they are still in a similar spot to last year at this stage - and the only similarity is that they haven’t played well to get there. I suspect they will come good. But need to shake it up a bit.

The forward connection is horrendous at the moment. If that can be sorted out Melbourne are still in good shape.
Won contested ball in tonight’s game which is what generates the opportunities, and pretty much broke even in clearance.
But if the key forwards remain in such terrible form and the bizarre kick selections into 50 continue Melbourne will continue to battle irrespective of what happens in the backline or midfield.

The crowd was certainly disapointing. Not that the crowds havent been a problem all year but the last two melbourne games have felt worse

Once the margin in the GF becomes insurmountable, the losing side tend to drop their heads and we often see blowouts. Plus Doggies were flying all over the country prior to that game. Not overly surprised they faded. Josh Bruce would’ve been handy as well. Other than that, yeah I guess Demons looked decent. Long time ago now though. Not sure it’s relevant?
Swans are good. Warner and Rowbottom were immense tonight. Your defence was impenetrable. Get a few key players back and you’ll be in it up to your eyeballs. Great club. A Sydney vs Freo GF would be fantastic.
