I'm not impressed with the commentary, someone turn Leigh Matthews mic off.

 

Not bad so far. We tightened up a little in defense at the end but a fair bit of work to do in that area. I just want an honest contest and I will be happy.

in some ways i agree with leigh - we want him to play deep forward.

problem is we also want him to be the release kick from the half-back to wing!

The problem is Howe is good in the air, good on the ground, has good disposal and now is a good kick for goal.

We need him deep forward, we need him upfield, we need 18 clones of him!
 

Some pretty poor comments on this thread at the moment

Boys need to win some clearances though - playing ok hope they can keep it up

I must admit I am not a fan currently of the our defensive zone - seems to be easily beaten


Frawley is probably the worst decision maker in the league.

He has a few mates named terlich and Mcdonald

Clearances are our biggest weakness if we keep possession of the footy we could win. It's a wide open game gotta keep running
 

Can we stem the tide of free run? Doesn't look like it at this stage.

Watts getting annihilated

Tommy Mc is down on confidence, no doubt.

It's not hard to stay on Zorko, he's not exactly gut running..

Whoever is on him needs to pull their head in.


This defensive zone stuff is terrible.

Tommy Mc is down on confidence, no doubt.

so is watts ran past the contest because he miss timed it by not committing to the obvious airiel body contact.. dumb footy because he didn't want to make contact.

Dear Jordie Mc, please watch the footy occasionally.


The problem is Howe is good in the air, good on the ground, has good disposal and now is a good kick for goal.

We need him deep forward, we need him upfield, we need 18 clones of him!

when Dawes,Clark and Hogan get on the field together it will free Howe up to play upfield

and that right there is why blease spends 2 games in, 2 games out.

he tries to do the diamond thing every time, when sometimes all you need os coal.

 

Lions could put us to the sword but ain't.

Their kicking is really letting off our rubbish zone defence.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
