GAME DAY - ROUND THREE



Recommended Posts

I maintain what I was saying in the first quarter, we are playing ok. They are also going hard enough to suggest they give a s$, but I would say with the change in conditions we swap Chip back to defence and Howe back to forward, pull the trigger on JKH mid way through the 3rd quarter subbing either Howe or Fitzy out, whoever stays must bring the ball to ground. Chip I the forward line hasn't been horrible but he still plays like a defender with his positioning, and he should've squared the ball up rather than go himself but it's good to see someone backing themselves.

We are in this.

Agreed on JHK for Fitzy. Should start the 3rd IMO. Frawley another 10 minutes up forward. If no effect i would swap him for McDonald lol

We want commitment desperation and good disposal

Commitment and desperation - that's what we want.

the rest would follow, though not necessarily today.

who wins is who is desperate and committed. Only thing to be commenting on, I reckon.

Sorry, didn't realise you were also the 'who you can have on your favourite player list' squad as well. Former players don't count eh? Childish response.

Anyone who lists that lazy spud in their favourite players is clearly clueless with regards to football and as such has no right to say others have no idea

I was "watching" this game then re focused and wiped the drool from my chin.

I've got nothing better to do right now so I'll watch the second half and switch to the storm game during, but FFS if this doesn't pick up I'll give up.

McDonald is doing well on Cameron (so far). I'd sub Georgiou, if GWS presumably sub Patton or Giles we can then throw a midfielder back and bring on JKH.

Fitzy might not be doing much but the game time is good for him and he's had a shot on goal and Frawley should've dished him another one.

Anyone give us a sniff?

Yeah if we can find a way to clean it up inside 50.....Frawley back and Howe, JKH forward maybe....its only a goal diff....Dunn to chip in for a couple?

Thanks, Dad. Thank goodness you are here telling us what to do.

How many Melbourne players from the last 10 years are flawless, such that there are no grounds to make fun of someone for naming them as their favourite?

Nathan Jones? David Neitz? I mean, there aren't many choices.

Let's leave people alone for having their favourites and debate real issues.

We might actually win. It's only 8 points and for various parts of the game we've been the better side.

As will be the case until we get some KPFs back, I just can't see us kicking a winning score.

We need as much run as we can get; Spencer, Fitzpatrick or Georgiou have to be the sub.

I'd keep Chip and Howe where they are if we can - they are doing a pretty good job and they aren't the problem. If we can win more clearances and work our arses off to get the ball forward then we can win this.

Sorry, but deadbeats who say people have no idea for making legitimate criticism are contributing to real debate how?

Oh dear.

Watts is loose in defence. 5 man forward line.

How does taking someone out of the forward line make it easier to score goals?

Third consecutive senior coach who thinks that a loose man back is a good idea. It never works for us.

Knee jerk reaction to avoid a blow out

I can't agree on Fitzy. He's not even close to AFL level atm. Mind you i dont rate McDonald up forward either but anything tall and athletic is a mobile option that's better than Fitzy at this point.

He responded to the criticism of Watts by noting the entire team is down on efficiency and it's raining. Valid points.

Your 'criticism' was to have a go at his favourite player.

He wins.

my criticism was that anyone who rates Sylvia as their favourite player has no idea.

Not surprised you cant grap that

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
