Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2852773, member: 1899"] Maybe this isn't the right thread for it, but I really don't have an issue with the way Melbourne play the game these days. They've perfected the 'catch and control' defensive style, so they can maneuver players onto their backs and win the ruck. As resilient as the Broncos are in defence, they often have trouble in the ruck and the opposition far too often finds their front. I wish there were more teams like Melbourne. The way they can get bodies into motion, manipulate the defence and come up with last play options is a sight to behold. On top of that, they're fantastic at nurturing young talent. So many players would either be lost to the game or in and out of first grade if it wasn't for the Storm system. Every so often they do get carried away and somehow they do seem to be the beneficiaries of some very fortunate decisions. However calls tend to go the way of the dominant sides and Melbourne have certainly been that for well over a decade now. As upset as I am with the game (I literally spat chips at Hunt kicking it into the legs of Billy), Melbourne are on their way to another premiership and there is a lot to learn about the game through watching them play.
