@_Daniel_Pell Too often, too many players make a choice of when to go or not. Combined with backline talent the size of a postage stamp, really good sides will always expose us for what we are. Simply put, we are not much good
@kangamerchant Trouble is they all want a lick of the ice cream. We have to be able to stop sides getting a run on. Its been our Achilles heel for 25 years. We are the best side in the comp at allowing opposition confidence
@chuckcheatley Yes, I definitely agree..... Its only because we are loyal that we still hope this will be a wake up call but I fear that it won't be. Melbourne's improvement this year is putting us to shame. Bold, intense team football working for each other
@ArdenStReview We accept honourable losses far too easily and results like this occur because of this false perception that we are better. NMFC of the 70's, 80's & 90's never accepted honourable losses
itโs beyond ridiculous that this is not paid HTB, but a player standing up in a tackle and legally disposing after what the ump deems to be one nanosecond too long IS paid HTB
the holding the ball rule is completely broken
Totally agree. Must play 2 solid blocks of games in 2026 especially with the impending retirement of Dating and hopeful delisting of Coleman-Jones. Better ruckman than Darling with the ball throw up too
Wil Dawsonโs 9th career game, 1st of season 2026.
37% TOG, played as a 2nd ruck, not a defender.
Loved the competitiveness and he stays for me.
13 hitouts (= with Xerri)
11 disposals
5 score involvements
4 tackles
4 intercepts
Again, on 37% TOG!
@ArdenStReview Our best is much better but our worst is still as horrible. We have too many passengers, particularly down back with Logue, Corr and Danial not up to it. We won't be a finals side unless they try some kids and get the experience into them
