Re: AFL Game Day Round 17, 2018 - Melbourne V Western Bulldogs at the MCG

In the third quarter when Melbourne won three centre clearances in a row through great tap work, Roughy didn't even bother jumping for the tap out. It was disgraceful. For god sakes, yeah, your opponent is tall, but at least try and run into him, do something.

The other area of his game, ie around the ground, he was always under the bal, he couldn't judge the flight. Very frustrating to watch him. As for the shot at goal, woeful to say the list.

We desperately need a quality ruck who will win the hitouts putting it to our advantage and try and get it to Schache more often up forward. Tom Boyd when he comes back needs to play forward - that's why we got him not to play him mostly in the ruck. We were utterly destroyed in the 3rd quarter in this area. We really just need to consistently play 4 quarters. At the half time break will were doing quite good. In the first quarter we may have just been on top of them.

We need to get a jarrod witts or ben McEvoy type player who were behind their clubs number. 1 Ruck at the time
Witts was going nowhere because bucks was trying to turn him into a foward ruck. He had 29 hitouts same as bellchamber yesterday vs essendon . Witts not dominate but at least provides a contest .
McEvoy was cunning Recuriting by hawks as he was behind longer and hickey at the time . McEvoy is probably ahead of both of them , and is a way better mark than both. It’s easy talk in hindsight but hawks saw the GAP if ceglar went down.

It’s crazy to think that mckernan is having a half decent season atm . Not a pure duck but provides contest and chopout

We have the best young ruck on the list-English. I wouldnt be spending any $$$ on a ruck.

Boyd cant play forward because he cant mark. His body and hand position in marking contests is as bad as you will see.

Yeah in terms of the ruck I forget English another who has shown a lot this season and will hopefully come good in the future. What role then does Tom Boyd play? He took some excellent marks in the grand final Boydy.

Biggs didn't touch the ball in the 3rd quarter. Bevo threw him back as a spare after the first three onslaught by melbourne, but he was nil value. Not sure what has happened to him over the past two years.

Playing for his career why on earth would you wear long sleeves twice in a row?

I don’t rate him and I certainly don’t rate his disposal. His field kicking and goal kicking is up there with Dahl, and with lynch, smith, Williams, Richards, wood etc, we don’t need him. He’s also rumoured to be one of the party boys and I want that cancer cut out of our team immediately.
