Phillipou misses from dead in front.

Owens wandering around in a daze. Goal to Kelly.

Sharman is a complete dud but we are now down to playing duds because of injuries. Owens was possibly robbed of a goal because he marked near the square line not where the umpire placed the mark..

Gone

Around the body kick from 20 metres says no one knows what they are doing at the club.

Sam Taylor out cold. ... Which is bad luck for him but it should have been a free to the Saints player since Taylor ran into the player trying to take the mark. It was a free to Roma on the backline when he pushed straight in the back and they goaled. However, the difference in skills is clear at t...

It was nice that we won, but it was an ugly game, not unlike most of the other games. Two things contributed to this in our case. The first was the tactics. "Smotheration". But, it enabled us to win. The second was the lack of skills. Every time I watch a Melbourne game and see Christian P...

Bit harsh on a 4 gamer don't you think ... Yes. A couple of things to note. He can kick either foot - I'm not even sure what his preferred is. He can take a mark. He fumbled a few times yesterday, once on the back line in the last quarter which could have been crucial. He was immediately surrounded...

If he had been 5 metres out he would have missed as it just hit his instep.

We are the least skilful and slowest side in the AFL. Teams usually come back in the second quarter after such a start. This will pretty tell what the rest of the season is likely to look like.

Each player who missed tonight is fully aware of their shortfalls They will be hurting more than us It can only improve Maybe. The players and the coaches seem to be unaware of a simple fact. Players are missing because they kick the ball in the wrong direction. With the TV camera shot behind playe...

We miss they goal.

At last a straight kick.

game over

Membrey is hopeless.

Two misses from Sharman. Giving the game away.

Too short on the backline. Unless Roma has time to get back we are in trouble.

Byrnes looked a million to one to kick that - but it was more like ten million to one.

But at last a straight kick by Owens even if he didn't hit it cleanly.

And then a dropped sitter but still a goal.

He is the exactly the type of player we have been wanting for the last 15-20 years.

He’s out of the box!

Alas, I agree. He has pace, can take a mark, is a good kick and has that extra ingredient - Spark!

Yeah was missing for most of last night, I don't think a short run in the 2s would do him any harm, let him dominate a bit at a lower level and gain some confidence. He was pick 10, not pick 50. I fail to see just what his AFL level strengths are. He's too short for a key position player these days...

This is likely to be a blowout. Our skills are too poor hence the number of turnovers. We are one ruckman short. Jack Sinclair into the centre is our only hope.

The Bonner decision was No 9. I thought he actually fumbled the ball in trying to pick it up. The Stocker decision was in the back. Stocker had his hands on the ball before Dangerfield even entered the contest. The holding the ball decision was a result of the umpire who paid the free being behind t...

NWM should be on a wing. He is too easily moved off the ball in a backline contest. Bonner looks OK - can take a mark and is a very good kick. His passes were low and hard. But he too is light for a backman. Our back six seem skinny compared to the top sides. Howard only makes that worse, and he fum...

Why kick when you can have six inaccurate handballs.
