Thank god Melbourne don't get many Friday nighters. That was one of the worst games of footy to watch. The skills were woeful. Sure the Dees are missing a number of key players (Jamar, Scully, Trengove, Garland) but Bailey must have completely missed the boat over preseason not training them to play the forward press and deal with it. They are still playing the old fashion flood with 18 players behind the ball
. Sure it made it harder for Carlton to score but to kick just 6 goals in a game is pathetic and bores everyone to death. It reminded me of us under Spud in his last few years as coach where he'd send us out just trying to prevent a flogging on the scoreboard.
I have no idea what Bailey and co. have done to Jack Watts. At U18s he had all the tricks to be a top key forward yet now he has the physical presence of a Cleve Hughes. Then there's Cale Morton who also hears footsteps. LOL at those on various forums and in the media who said before the 2007 draft Morton was better prospect than Cotch
.
