WB Game Day V Melbourne - 2021 AAMI Community Series

Re: WB Game Day V Melbourne - 2021 AAMI Community Series

There are a lot of negative Nellies on here right now. Whoa is us ... same same as last year .

I am obviously seeing this game a lot different to you (and maybe I'm a glass half full kinda guy). The way I see it. Our coach has trained all of our players to be able to play different positions. Therefore, we aren't locked into one style of play. We now have three/four years of this experience. We have recruited well. We are flogging Melbourne all over the ground. Yes, they have some big names out ... so do we !!! Wood, Cordy, JJ, Treloar, Richards, Durea, JUH. At the time of writing this, we have hit the scoreboard 25 times. Our accuracy is off, but no where near as bad as it has been in recent years.

This is a great hit out and will bring loads of confidence going into round one. No need for so much negativity

Gee I’ll be disappointed if we drop right off and they get back within a goal or two

If Gardner is the best we’ve got, wow.

Agreed. If there are problems then we have good problems to have.

That 3rd quarter was great but the first half was just a bit of a carbon copy of years prior. Here’s hoping the 3rd qtr is the new norm

So we just have to hop on Bont’s back?

Yep. My glass is now half full.

Bit of a bummer the dees’ mids were out. We’ve dominated clearances but you’d expect that with no Oliver, Viney etc.

Re: WB Game Day V Melbourne - 2021 AAMI Community Series

We’ll be a much better side if Lipinski can keep this sort of thing going all season.

Do posters prefer Dale or JJ as the a high HB?

Someone who can run and kick Vandermeer preferably but they seem to like him forward

Re: WB Game Day V Melbourne - 2021 AAMI Community Series

Coincidence or not that the goals flowed once Naughton went off? Can he and Bruce function in the same forward line? Or is Naughton better off down back OR Schache comes in for Bruce? Or was it a coincidence?

Was starting to look a little like that.... good result
Overall, some really good signs, some obvious improvement areas

I'm really happy with the effort and there are some terrific signs for the season ahead. Many dismiss games like this but I think they're essential for a big season

How could anyone now be pleased with Bont, Dunks, Macrae, Libba, Daniel and Lipinski?
English looks dangerous when he is forward and the ruck combination is working well
And we have seen multiple goal kickers

There are of course question marks on a few things like goal kicking but these are the games to iron them out. Oh and the injuries aren't ideal but this can happen in training sessions

We are going to have a heck of a time narrowing the list down to 22 players for the game against the Pies which is a great sign
