Whats with the late goals? Conditioning? Concentration? youth?

Posted

Maybe at HT the commentators can learn some Melbourne names that aren't Roos and Gawn.

Tired of them going on about Geelong stats, like anyone cares.

Who would have picked that? Barring late goals we have been terrific in all areas.

The challenge is to keep that up in the second half. We are certainly in with a chance!

Is it a coincidence that we play better when we don't allow the opposition to have a loose player in defence?

nope.

but it's also a clear part of our game - we love to have cross mopping up.

the key is not to kick to a two-on-one contest every time the ball goes in.

roos' match-ups are working a pearler today:

vince - blicavs

viney - selwood

matt jones - enright

watts - taylor

dunn - hawkins

all working at the moment.

[censored] ourselves late. The only mental scars that actually have any merit, and can only be fixed by winning games. Or a great psychiatrist...

You're watching a big part of the Melbourne resurgence for years to come today, Demonlanders. It's huge and has a beard.

Brayshaw will be a culture changer. He knew Enright was coming for him on the wing. He had the option of a panicky handball but took a hit for the team to ensure a stoppage. Love him.

Jeemy Howe - 0 disosals

Needs to kick a couple of goals in the 2nd half. Hes not holding up his end of the bargain and we are in a winning position in what was supposed to be an unwinnable game.

He isn't taking marks but his contests in the air have resulted in a couple of goals.

Dunn has no vision at all when kicking out, N Jones at times a headless chook, and how about not just bombing it in the forward line for once, but hell the effort is there with what we have put on the park.

Wow, this is unexpected, and bloody good. Some really competent footy in that half Dees, great stuff. Viney on Selwood is perfect, he doesn't care about 186 or how good they've been, or how shite we've been, he just smashes in at the next contest. Brayshaw the same. And Bernie Vince is a very very good player.

Max Gawn

13 disposals

7 marks - 6 contested

5 tackles

4 clearances

4 inside 50s'

Best half by a ruckman in the AFL this season? Amazing numbers

Many on here wanted to/want to delist Gawn.

Not on your life.

It's been just the sort of break out performance we have all been waiting for!

I said today was all about intent and the development of those who matter. Hard not to be satisfied to half time. We are making errors and they will start to make us pay more but as long as we keep up that intent and effort and don't drop our heads that's all you can ask.

Brayshaw is a machine. Can only imagine the damage he will do when he has the muscle and endurance to fit with the intent. Spencer showing why he should play ahead of Jamar. Gawn showing why he should play ahead of both of them.

nate has to stand up and match it with gawns effort

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    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.

    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.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
