Game Day Round 2 - Melbourne vs St Kilda - Spud's Game - Marvel Stadium - Saturday 27 March, 7.25pm AEDT

[Gysberts2Bate]

You just get the sense that this one is going to come down to outside speed and class

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

At least he’s not Kossie Pickett

He's worse, far worse. Used to be a big fan but he's done.

 

[Daemon]

I think we are playing the better footy but umpires have kept the Saints in it with crucial decisions (or non decisions)

 

[Proper Gander]

Lever deserves a pay rise.

Yeah but so do I. He can wait his turn

Letting a team monster us and then wrestling back the momentum... not sure I've seen us do that.
Ever.

 

[Headless]

Pickett's goal reminds me a lot of Petracca side-stepping to set up Jones at the start of the fourth quarter in the 2018 EF.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Yeah but so do I. He can wait his turn

Yeah I'm completely caught off guard.

Ever.

I thought we did really well, bad umpiring killed a lot of our momentum. We have been clearly the better side.

 

[DemonJim]

Really important play from Jetta there.

I actually can't believe we're in front. Feels like we should be down by 3-4 goals.

It really does Adle.

I reckon we’ve been very slightly better on average but ****ing atrocious for a good 10-15 minutes of it, so I’ll takeit

as others have said not sure I remember is wrestling back momentum’s mike that - maybe west coast in 2018

 

[Daemon]

Half time thoughts:

If Fritsch doesn't kick at least 2 goals now he needs to be dropped. Not good enough.
Oliver really good, kicking a lot more and being smart.
Team being smart in general. Slowing it down when needed and lowering eyes.
Kozzie is amazing.
Gawn is always best dropping back.
Trac getting a lot of attention and fumbling a bit. Good test for him
Defense good as always. Salem looking solid.
Forward line not great, but working ok. Good to see them leaving a bit of space.

 

[Headless]

It really does Adle.

Good to see you on the Melbourne board mate.

 

[TheCount]

Gawn is always best dropping back.

I wonder if thats been decided because he struggled to get involved last week, because I'm not sure the net result is a positive from last week, May and Lever seemed to work better together than they have so far with Max being invovled.

That said, I think the team looked better in general when Jacko went into the ruck and Max rested forward.

 

[Grimesy87]

Considering we've got nearly zero out of gawn so far, I'm impressed with a lot of our midfielders work rate to get us back into that match. Very un-melbourne-like to do.

Also we need another small forward now Pickett is an inside mid.

 

[Dancing Potato]

Did every single player on both teams forget how to football during the break?

 

[Scythe94]

Salem has been phenomenal

 

[Headless]

I'm really pleased we drafted Pickett.

 

[Toump Ass]

That was very Melbourne-esque from the saint kildas

 

[Grimesy87]

I actually don't enjoy this

I'm enjoying this more now.

 

[Daemon]

Just when I was fine say Spargo has been quiet

 

[HANDSOLO]

spargy PANTS!!!! Take THAT dr truth!

 

[netslave]

On a roll now, dont let up.

 

[Fork n Hell]

good crumb Spargs
