Yes Barlow had great season, no one else has got better, very dissaponting, they look stale, hard to go back to back. It’s a mental game. McCarron also was going to be back up point, but Kennedy, McCarron and Moller all struggling for the same spot.

Yeah, how did TSM go from minimal minutes to first sub in? & UTD were sucking for that 1st quarter.

I like Hooley, but I thought the plan was for McCarron to play the point when Casper rested? Yet Hooley seems to get cracks at it first? & Has regressed this year IMO.

I may be a bit harsh here but I think it's only Barlow that's performing equal or better than last year, with all of the returning players' form dipping this season. : (

Would have been nice to see more development of the younger guns in the team... But maybe I'm harsh because I'm comparing Bevo the supercoach & his offensive sets & subs to UTD? : )

Imo what’s hurting Melbourne is there defence, certainly when a pick and roll is run against them, while being a reasonable good one on one defender McCarron struggles defensively on that. Goulding lifted last year defensively where this season has gone back to previous. Kennedy also not as good as Prather, Moller and that other import they had last season.
Offensively the loss of Wesley has hurt them, Barlow has filled in well and hit bid threes but there back to the basket work is nil, it’s also hurt Boone’s output. Last year the assistants might have worked closer with individual players as well, the playing off Smith Milner as first sub today was rediculos imo.

Kennedy can ball! Especially if he's getting to the ring.

Maybe I'm just frustrated seeing CG43 & Casper shoot airballs, where if the offence flowed a little smoother they may get better looks?

Maybe if Liam Santamaria calls CG43 out as a dud this week he'll come back on fire next game... Though I hope not since it's Very my Hawkies : )

weird question. McCarron got plenty of shots today and boone got his fair share too. barlow had a few too considering he got himself in foul trouble very early. kennedy getting 5 shot attempts is probably 4 too many.

Word is that students sat two different UMAT tests on Wednesday with one apparently easier than the other and that the afternoon session went way past scheduled finishing time. Anyone in the know about it because I'd appreciate a heads up.
