We are losing it due to Max King being in the side and Members not being able to kick goals from within 30m of goal. It's that simple. Even the coach is publically acknowledging this point.

Out: King, Hind In: Marsh Lonie. Those changes keep the same structure. You can't keep playing players who make basic skill errors repeatedly in every game. Selection integrity has to be established by Ratts otherwise all of that talk in the pre season about skills being non negotiable was just BS.

Max needs to be dropped so we stop kicking it to a forward who can't catch a ball at the moment.

Too many words wasted already in this short thread.

Bottom line is we are drunk on our own bath water.

Gee an immanent return of a marking forward would be a salivating prospect for Ratts.

800k is minimum wage so I can't see a problem.

And if the heat doesn't come for the side this week and the media continue to blow smoke up the clubs arse then we are farked. I think we started to drink our own bath water after the Port win, similar to the phenomenon after the GWS win on a Friday night in 2016 or 2017. We peaked in that game and ...

18 intercept marks to Melbourne May had 6 Poor entries, and yes Max did drop some that he got his hands to, but can you drop your vendetta against the kid? So posters on here who relentlessly attack players like certain midfilders and small forwards is fair game but criticising a tall forward who i...

Our gameplan is kick it to King. Or rather bomb it vaguely to King. Other clubs now all know this. It used to be kick it to King, and have our crumbers near him. The opposition do their best to keep them away. Only goal and mark King got was on the lead. But mostly we just keep bombing it over his ...

Gee we've made it easy for the opposition to work us out if that's our excuse. Poor skills by select individuals and looking like we are running in sand. Plain and simple that is all. The loss of those two attributes has also caused us to lose our dare and take the game on. We've dropped off the per...

Moreover re where we are losing it, I am now also wondering if the Asterisk Cup conditions are coming home to roost for our young side.

Maybe too much surfing, cafe lattes and smashed avo on sourdough in Noosa. I called it a gap year for a reason.

I think there are two main reasons for our loss last night. Firstly the team look like they are running out of petrol tickets quickly in games now.. At Times they looked like they had concrete boots on. We had about 5 to 6 players make bugger all contribution. And secondly our key forwards in King ...

Statistics, statistics and damn lies Define "winning clearances" Is it the ball initially in a players hands? Is it the initial movement of the ball in a certain direction? Because, if we won the clearances, there was no potency from that statistic - no surging forward when forwards are o...

1) Inside 50 entries are horrible, it's long to a contest every time. 2) Midfielders either not being able to find the ball consistently, or blazing away or taking the wrong option when they do get it 3) Forwards not converting when we do manage to carve out a decent chance 4) Every time Melbourne ...

Make no mistake about it, the forward line lost this game. King and Members have to take accountability.

Dropped marks and missed set shots within 30m.

There's the game right there.

Yup.

The opposition coaches must look at the tapes and say...gee they seem to bomb it to their skinny 19 year old 70% of the time for their Inside50s. We need to pressure the kicker and double team King... They don't seem to have a Plan B. 3 out of 4 of the games lost by a goal should have been 3-4 goal...

King is completely clueless on how to use his body Case in point was in the 2nd quarter where the ball was kicked across the front of the goal square to King at the back one out and behind a smaller opponent - all he had to do was use his body to push the smaller defender under the ball and extend ...

What a load of garbage. The ball was delivered to him accurately on nearly every occasion. And he dropped them all. No chopping of arms or contact from defenders and they all went past his hands. If he drops absolute sitters how is that the fault of others. SERIOUSLY! Yep. A lot of excuses being of...
