NAB Challenge 2 - Melbourne v Geelong

Featured Replies

Very smart kick toump

It's the 3rd score assist I'd give him. Not bad for just over a half of footy.

 

Trengove starting to get a bit of it.

Vince is a star.

We are giving players like Varcoe and Duncan too much time.

Varcoe hates pressure, so can we just stick to our man, for christs sake.

 

It's quite amazing really, last year we lost to GWS, now we're seriously challenging Geelong with alot of our guns out and people still aren't happy

and for a kid who has played a "poor half" of footy......

Bernie Vince 21 touches to half time. I remember days where we'd have nobody have 21 touches for the whole game. What an absolute bargain we got there.

17 touches to Dom Tyson as well.

i love Bernie Vince.

Really like Georgiou

That's what happens after our first decent win in a few seasons. We all expect it to simply happen again and anything less is not good enough. We are still making mistakes, which we will do, but there are still lots of positive signs for us.

Duncan yes. But Varcoe I'd give the ball to all day. He's a black Sam Blease, plenty of run, not much game sense.

Turnovers are destroying us.


They have a run on, this is where we find out how far we've come, do we fight back or get blown away?

At some stage we just have to hold the ball up. Particularly if we've got in on the far open wing. Just stop, hold it, take the 10 seconds you get then move it on.


Turnovers are always going to be costly vs Geelong: they are still very classy.

We can learn from this.

Most of Geelong goals are from our turnovers.

 

Left arm spoil there Tommy Mc! Walker is a plodder he could've got that. Frustrating.

Cats really doing nothing this quarter. It's just us making mistake after mistake.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
