    On the inconsistency week to week:

    Internally they are setting Melbourne up for a sustained period of success and believes its going well.

    Relying on the younger players to perform too much on game day, thinks fatigue is an issue.

    On Hogan:

    Comparing him to Josh Kennedy on the type of player he will end up being (big on chasing and forward pressure)

    Very driven to be the best he can be, good understanding of the game. "He has some frustrations he needs to temper, not always going to get it on a silver platter as a forward"

    When asked what he would be most worried about if he had to play on him he said his ability to always be moving, his agility and his quickness off the mark, thinks he needs to work on his leading patterns.

    Tom McDonald feeling confident going into the season after spending the pre season defending against him

    On Lumumba's year:

    Thinks people judge him too much based on his possession count, happy with his contested game. Gives a lot of energy on field. Getting used to a new role on the wing. Thinks his best footy for Melbourne is ahead of him.

    On Roos:

    Game plan when he first came in was very similar to his Sydney game plan, game had evolved and Roos has made changes this year to reflect that.

    About Harry, he said they had a bet with the Collingwood coaches about how many games he would play this year and they need to keep playing him to win it. But just in case, they laid it off with a bet of how many turnovers he will make. It's looking good on both counts and will fund the end of season trip.

    This interview is a great example of why Jade has remained in the coaching department at Melbourne. Terrific breadth of knowledge about the game and impressed with his honesty and positiveness about players.

    As quoted "highly desirable among the coaching ranks". I hope he sticks around. An asset IMO.

    WTF does he mean by this? Are we running marathons during the week to help us achieve sustained success in the future?

    Hilarious coming off a 100 point loss against some second rate Bulldog kids....all going well,

    Those second rate Bulldog kids might just get their team to October...

    You would hope so, as I would hate to see it get worse

    Hope we csn get as many good second raters as the bullies have. Good enough to be top four right now.

    Don't feed the troll

    which one? There's a few poking their heads up from under the bridge at the moment

    big losses are the finest trollbait

  • Quote

    Nonsense, I don't think anyone's judging HL on his possession count. Mostly it's his hospital handballs and constant running into trouble.

  • Quote

    A few interesting comments re, Hogan and HL.

    Can anyone explain (in simple English) how to get the replay of this on the SEN iPhone app?

    Thanks

    It means we are being set up to win contested ball like the dogs have been. And then once that foundation is set.. The game plan will be more viable to attack, because we will be creating more pressure to make turnovers and kick higher scores..

    They don't have an app any more, just go to their website and look for audio clips/highlights/podcasts

    Lumumba has a contested game? All I've seen is him trailing his opponent by 5 metres on every occasion, flailing his limbs about wildly. If he was anyone else he would have been at Casey for the past two months.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • 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.
