Game Day Melbourne vs Fremantle - MCG

[Fat Nyfe]

They are playing with more desperation atm. We need a bit of a lift or they will run over us. Strangely it’s the opposition this week wasting their inside 50s not us.

 

[Dale147]

Cox gives us nothing, Switter etc have disappeared off the planet, I don’t think Ed or Wilson are fit, might have to fit Blakely in there as well.

 

[FreoMonocle]

We need to send one of Mundy or Fyfe forward to try and engineer a second taller target; particularly if Cox is going to persist in sitting in the pocket and not leading.

Fyfe has been high up the ground a fair bit

 

[WilloTree]

We went on with only 4 forwards and Walters (Hogan, Switta, Matera, Cox). That's gonna bite now.

Been saying for weeks now - pick 6 forwards.

 

[Taylor]

Melb should really block us getting any marks up the ground now without Hogan.

 

[eastfreo75]

Melb should really block us getting any marks up the ground now without Hogan.

Maybe, play Mundy forward.

 

[poshman]

news on wilson?

 

[westy1]

Are we playing as bad as the inside 50 count looks? Been dragged away by the girlfriend to a museum...

ill just say mate( not talking about the footy here)
its better to ask for forgiveness than permission
it would wanna be a good museum

 

[Taylor]

Maybe, play Mundy forward.

I don't think he is quick enough to find space on a lead, we need marks between the fifties.

 

[MrDanggazz]

In trouble here, midfield needs to work incredibly hard now to restrict inside 50s especially in the dying minutes and keep pinging it inside 50 hoping our x factor can save us.

 

[awaremind]

Cox on May a seasoned, quality defender, un likely to dominate, need to play smart, and think way through this.

 

[kingswood71]

22 inside 50's and we are leading. Dear God.

 

[Heart Of Purple]

Hogans seriously gonna hurt with Tabs/Lobb out. Cox has his perks for sure but isn't really the ideal No.1 man (especially given he's also the back-up ruck atm). Somebody's going to have to go forward, likely Mundy but I wouldn't be opposed to a Hughes/Duman type and just getting them to "Intercept" our kicks forward (Play in the spot and just half contests to bring walters/matera/switta into it). Theres not really a lot of tall personnel to play with.

 

[awaremind]

Haven’t watched the first half. How are we playing?

Good but melbourne are bringing the pressure and we started to cruise.

 

[MrDanggazz]

22 inside 50's and we are leading. Dear God.

Backline once again the reason we are still in this contest.

 

[kingswood71]

Cox on May a seasoned, quality defender, un likely to dominate, need to play smart, and think way through this.

agreed. Throw logue down there for a bit...big body. Can lead off him...

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Good move not bringing in Bennell this week.

 

[dockerfemme]

We are going to have to pull something amazing out to win this. Melbourne playing all over us, down 1 tall, always hard to deal with. Be a lot of grit if we get over the line.

 

[salim malik]

Is Wilson injured?

 

[MrDanggazz]

Switta and Walters out of the square :/

 

[MrDanggazz]

gonna be some big bruises after this game.

 

[Jeba]

Dumb is50, had mundy short

 

[Taylor]

These kicks across fifty are opening us up defensively.

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

S Hill half hearted efforts so far

 

[Jeba]

Pathetic
