      How bad is Reid's quad? Minor or serious?

        Footy commentator about Brandon Jack- 'you can see there that he's 19, but he's really 18, but he turned 19 last week, so he's not really 19, he's a young 19.' Seriously pathetic stuff...they can't even get his age right.

          They haven't said, but it was serious enough to take him straight off and sub it out of the game. He definitely didn't look happy when he went off.

            Grundy having a bit of a shocker so far. Whose idea was it to play somebody recovering from a quad injury on a huge field like the MCG? perhaps the SCG would have been a better place to return?

                We're not playing well at all.

                  I sure hope this is like the Roos game where we had the shocking quarter and then belted them in the third quarter. Because right now we are just wasting the ball.

                  Macca could top his career best disposals of 37 if he keeps playing the way he is. He has 21 at HT.

                      Given that we have had three times as many scoring shots, and I reckon two of their goals came from terrible defensive efforts, it gives you a sense of just how bad the dees actually are.

                      Grundy is playing poorly, but our approach of get it and kick iras long as humanly possible even if that is where five dees are is really disturbing

                          We're still playing wet weather footy. We are pretending that the ball is wet and the ground is like ice.

                            Yep, its really showing today. Injuries have crippled us this season, good thing we're still top 4. Hopefully we can get the boys back in time for September.

                              Interesting how the last few goals/shots for Melb from end to end uncontested. That's our big, big weakness.....not paying enough respect to get on the bike HARD as soon as they have possession. That's the problem when Hawks/Geelong/Bombers are kicking 5-6-7-8 goals in a quick trot against us. Those teams aren't kicking 6 DIFFICULT/CONTESTED goals. Slicing through the middle, end to end or else straight from the centre bounce.

                              Today we are too reliant on the full forward press and the dodgy turnover. Won't work against the top teams.

                              11 inside fifties for 5 goals and 2 points. Frankly not good enough.

                              On the upside....39 inside 50s in a half. If we keep our heads and win ground ball in the 50 we will kick 15 in this half....butchered 6 or 7 so far. 15 goals to 2 or 3 and I would be very happy.....9-5 Meh!
