I’ve only ever watched the game once and it was like 10 beers in but I always thought the set up was bullshit. Yes it’s on Libba but only because he got left with all the work to do. He was sweeping but left 4 on 1 with Jackson hitting the ground like a cat.

Nah man, he just needed to stop it going forward and the only way he could do that was by stopping himself going forward and holding his ground.

I think you're both right. Iirc that's the one where Treloar sat on it tried to pop it back to Libba who couldn't contain it and they were gone.

The issue was Bont and English both ran past Treloar to no effect, and then Trrloar instead of sitting on it opted to do a low percentage handball to Libba who was left with the only option being to try and kill a wobbly handball in the face of Melbourne best mids running at him. Libba couldn't contain the footy, and it was gone.

Tbh Libba is the one I have the least issues with from that one. Treloar the most.

Ross Lyon reviewed the footage prior to our round 1 match on Fox. He called out that Libba had been blamed for much of the Demons run on but that in fact he felt Libba positioned well and did everything he could, it was the fumbles from Treloar, Martin etc that caused the issues.

It's such a shame there's absolutely no footage of the game recorded anywhere so we can't go back and check.

Glad I was unable to watch it.

It's actually not a shame. It's a boon.

What midfield group would you send in to either STOP a run on OR (for those glass half full people) ram home an advantage?

None on the list.

I'm sending in Libba, West & Smith

Would argue these 3 are our fiercest competitors in the midfield.

Agree, when there’s a run on you don’t want macrae or Bont anywhere near it.
