Pros:
Saad, Docherty and Walsh.
Harry with one arm.
Owies could have been good, if he didn't keep fumbling when running into an open goal.
At least Cripps found some ball again, even if his decision making and distribution was beyond horrible.
Cons:
Injuries are absolutely killing us.
Arguably the most disappointing effort of the year. Didn't think Melbourne were all that impressive. But we just looked tentative, lacklustre and confused. The coach has been losing the supporters for some time now. I wonder whether he's now losing the players. It looks like we've now evolved from slick forward movement and no defence to slow, uncertain forward movement and no defence. Every other club defends with players behind the ball, defending stoppages and hard defensive running. It looks like our great defensive solution is simply to slow our ball movement forward.
Having to listen to Taylor rabbiting on constantly about the quiet crowd. It may have more to do with Carlton supporters having lost all hope, than the Melbourne supporters.
Why is it that McDonald and Neal-Bullen have a field day against us every time, but trouble no other team. Who the heck was supposed to be on McDonald?
Not sure really what Newman adds with his glacial pace.
Parks has been disappointing the last 2 weeks.
Hard to see where our next win is going to come from, with mounting injuries, coaches out of their depth, and players steadily losing confidence. Hard not to see us getting outcoached again next week against Clarkson, and find a way to lose to a team that are pretty poor.
