Round 4

 

[Drew]

Maxxy has decided to start catching a few!

So good, hopefully he goes large, was just looking at Big Max's ownership and 1.9% traded him out this round but 13.2% have traded him out this season (total) 😬

Time to make them pay Maxy 😂

 

[Shannon]

Dees rucks dominant

Lycett got smoked that 1/4

 

[Dazza]

Geez Port a crap, get a lot the ball, but do diddly squat

 

[wogitalia]

No idea why Port don't tell Lycett to man up the Melbourne rucks, instead he's worthlessly out of position behind the ball while those two are pretty much marking every single kick inside 50 because no one is even attempting to stop their run and jump. Lycett is a pretty good forward and has never been good behind the ball so it's just a weird tactic when you're also missing your only real KPF.

If you're not going to get Lycett to try and negate you'd think a forward would at least go to them when they push into D50 to stop the pure intercept game.

Port will struggle to score if they don't do something about that pair.

 

[Dazza]

Oliver and Butters do something effective

 

[wogitalia]

Butters have to assume the ribs are a big issue as hasn't gone remotely close to a contest yet, just skirting around the outside, one time he did he flopped down and handballed nowhere and was very lucky to not get a clanger for it.

 

[Leroy]

Gee that Melbourne back 6/7, led by May and Lever with one of the resting rucks.

Hard to see them losing many games when teams just can't work out how to get through.

 

[Dazza]

How does Oliver lose points for kicking the ball long

Oliver and Butters getting reamed by CD

Was going to start Butters on bench with E, but Hayes extended bench left it with too much uncertainty. Agree he is carrying last weeks bump. Powell Pepper is a danger... to every one.

hard to understand Ports entry into fwd 50 process. Getting killed kicking in long.

 

[AngryAnt]

Gotta kick those goals

More Leopold Stotch than the Zak Butters we know and love.

 

[Vicwood]

Thoughts on butters SC score.

Seems light.
Just got 4 points remove from his score.

 

[Crowls]

Port seem unable to exit the ball effectively out of defence. Few options, few running, Hinkley not going to see the year out with this game plan. Good news Lycett looks hurt. Bet they wish they had Ladhams now!!

 

[AngryAnt]

Lycett done his shoulder, opens the door for Sam Hayes if it's a bad one

 

[The Experiment]

Lycett looking sore too! Maxy rucking against drew at that contest

 

[Rumbler]

Lycett shoulder issue. Could be easy pickings for Gawn/Jackson against the backup ruck if Lycett needs to get subbed off

 

[Vicwood]

And now another 3 points removed.??

 

[Crowls]

powell pepper finding max and jackson more often than a port player.
