Glad we went to Darwin so we can deal with the heat and conditions, obviously paying off... :(

Maybe they are a better side. No that couldn't be it.

    It's all from rebounding though isn't it? We're getting smashed in the clearances.

    Actually, no. Clearances are quite close at this point. Jamar's dominance has to be a part of that. Wonder if the Jamar and McKenzie threads will get a run this week.

    Just saying that because we had talked up about how we would cope with the heat last week due to the Darwin trip.

    Seemed a bit far fetched to me to be saying that after spending a week there.

    Any stats? Last I saw we were easily winning the hitouts but getting killed in clearances.

    That's how Sydney beat Hawthorn.

    So it can work, not saying that is our main goal but its good to have a good half back that wins the ball back

    Sylvia hasn't played too bad today from what I can see.. 16 touches and 4 clearances, second only to Jones. There are a lot worse out there

    Yeah, not saying that's all bad, but I desperately want us to be better at the clearances this year.

    Final siren: St Kilda 2.10.13 (91) d Melb 2.7.6 (66)

    25 to 15 scoring shots is a big worry, especially seeing we seemed to be doing well for inside 50s. Hopefully Dawes and Clark can help that, cos Sellar isn't reliable and Pedo seems like an absolute spud from what I've seen SO FAR.

    It's NAB Cup. Doesn't bother me if we win or not, tho wins are nice. Ask last years Grand Finalists about their NAB wins... What I want to see is improvements in our key lacking areas from last year, as that is what will lead us to wins when the real stuff starts.

    We lack in every key area.

    Give us some midfielders god Please.

    back to tackling school I reckon...Seems many have forgotten already !!!

    25 point win to Saints...no disgrace in that as they were coming home with a strong breeze and could have been expected to blow us away.

    Me too, but we lost Maloney and Viney isn't playing, I don't know enough about the mature aged guys and if they a decent at clearances, Magner playing?

    Going by the stats we matched fairly evenly with the saints.

    Mel St

    Disposals 291 - 292

    Clearances 25 - 29

    Inside 50 44 - 38

    Con Pos 97 - 107

    Tackles 30 - 53

    Kent, blease,jetta and Trengove should help the mids

    25 to 29

    Jamar had 35 taps.

    you mean the exact same breeze we had for the 1st and 3rd quarters?

    Not the point...we didn't let them run away with it in the last, when in seasons gone by we would have capitulated and lost by a LOT more.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
