Game Day Round 3: Melbourne v Essendon, Friday April 1, 7.20pm AEDST - MCG

Not sure about that. I'd argue we've had soft ones our way, including the 50s.

We've had a couple softies but the two howlers both benefited Melbourne.

Essendon player kicks 50m down the line, Melbourne player marks it uncontested



Sums it up. Someone else will do it mentality

As someone pointed out earlier our field positioning is woeful.

 

[Lore]

No one home, again. At least Guelfi had presence of mind to slow the game down and get our structure back

 

[Phone]

OH FFS

Just ******* forfeit the season if you’re gonna pull that shit. YOU HAD A LONG KICK ON DON’T LOOK FOR SHORT HANDBALLS YOU GRONKS

The problem was more guelfi hand-balled it back to shiel and then instead of continuing to run to be another option for shiel, went for the bump on the player chasing Shiel which meant shiel didn't have an option

 

[Lore]

Kelly thank god

absolutely, both 50's were barely beneficial (Laverde did have a shot on goal but wasn't exactly a gimme from 35ish)

 

[mike14]

Got away with one there

 

[boncer34]

Poor kick by sauce but I loved the idea.

But then that Fritsch miss was pretty bad too.

Turns out we do have a defensive mid that can run off his man and impact the game after all….?

3 Votes, T Cutler

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Really hoping we won’t give anything up into the half

 

[mike14]

Didn't know we were allowed to kick red time goals. We should try it more often

 

[Scottie65]

Mcgrath actually beating petracca… petracca had 9 touches only

I said earlier this week McGrath was the guy.

We know he can play accountable footy from his time at HB.
