Melksham just missed his 2nd shot in a row from 15m in front.....
Again last night against the Weagles. Scores level, minute to go, and kicks a point on the run from 25 out. Kicked 3.0 against us, and 3.9 for the rest of the season. If there's a 3,2,1 at the end of the year, he may just be the clubhouse leader.
Marks 20m out against Port, tries to play on with a snap and has his shot smothered.
May not kick another career goal....
This had been happening to us for years, Chris Tarrant kicks 1 goal 6 behinds one week and then the following week kicks 7 goals against us. Lindsay Thomas kicks 8 goals against us and the week before and after kicks 1 goal 5 behinds (or something like that).
Teams just don't respect us and players who have the yips or lack confidence know that we are the team where there deficiencies won't matter too much and won't be exposed - so they relax lose their inhibitions grow in confidence, and treat us like a training drill or more often than not like witches hats.

St Nick kicked 9.0 on a wet G a few years ago too against us
I'm sure there is a very long list of these performances.
Rob Walls did a number in an article about Pavlich who hardly had a kick for the whole year and he turns around and kicked 8 against us.
Teams do not respect us and out of form players look forward to playing us - been happening since St. Kilda started reaming us in 2002.
Speaking of which - is there a whole team Brad Moran category, because we are not going to get within 8 goals of St Kilda next week.
