Our Second Half Defensive Efforts

[Guest]

Everyone in our family is only allowed to get married in October. It's the law! No weddings until after football season and before spring racing.

If you change that to never allowed to get married, period then you'll have my stance.

Melbourne will now score 20 second half points thanks to this.

As bumbling as we have been in the opening 3 rounds it's interesting to note that our second half defence has been okay:

POINTS CONCEEDED:

v Souths 20 points (scored their last try with 30 mins remaining)
v Penrith 18 points (only scored 1 second half try)
v Canberra 8 points (No second half tries)

Its clear all teh work we did in teh off season was defnsive. Our disjointed attack proves this, although against Penrith we missed near 40 tackles. Thats pathetic. Especially against penrith.

The attack will come. We have some anchors in this team, but fair dinkum no prick has any patience anymore.

ive gotta have braith braith braith.George michael said this.
i have faith our boys will be well prepared to face off with the cheats. can do it .
I wonder if mini will be the decoy runner on the inside pass so to draw in the first 2 defenders.

I hope ryles doesnt play

to be fair, anasta's defence is excellent. He constantly saves the butt of the player next to him in the line.

Ryles will be the differnce...he'll show why we should have paid him whatever he wanted.

If Mini does run the inside pass, theyll ignore him because he'll drop it anyway.

We just need to convince Braith he is.

Defence doesnt score points but it does win games. In 2010 dragons were the best defensive team and we were one of the best attacking. We threw everything at them and they stopped it, got frustrated and got smashed. Why is it even when our team does something alright you all just continue to stare at the negative and never give any praise. Start being fans/supporters not complainers

[stsae]

Why not?

Why do we assume (or as stsae says ASS-U-ME) the worst with this team. any team can beat another on their day, we just hope we have the team that can beat Melbourne out there.

A little faith can go along way.

LOL, Trenty taught me to never ASS-U-ME.

Good to see our defense is competitive. I thought we defended well last season, except for one scared mental tard who opened up like the Sydney heads whenever someone farted in his general direction.

I hope you bring the rosary beads with you on Sunday If we can keep Melbouren to under 20 then we are doing very well

Didnt mean to be a smart ass Supermario. As I have previously mentioned our defence and even in the off season I have mentioned that any challenge we mount our defence must be the cornerstone of this. As the lack of points is a concern So far so good with the defence part I am sure the attack will come as the weeks go by

[Rooster_6]

Souffs average 25pts a game (against us they scored 20)
Penriff average 19pts a game (against us they scored 18)
Waiders average 21.5pts a game (against us they score 8)

Loving these defensive stats
