Kennedy is Gonna be a star. Jeremy who?

 

Ben Kennedy is hard as nails, has great skills, plays at a frenetic pace, hard tackler.

Having Jeremy Howe was  like playing  a  man down.

 

Another epic trade from Roosy and co.

Wow that chain of handpasses for a goal.....confidence.

My heart could have done with one or two fewer handballs - I'll take the goal though!

Cant ever remember seeing a Melbourne team who are so hard at the player, as well as the ball. We are very different this year...

Kennedy was always a worker

My Filth mate always rated his endeavour

Jeremy Howe is talented but lazy...

[censored] Hodge and Selwood Viney is the hardest bloke in the AFL

He doesn't duck his head the way Selwood does, he just wants it more than anyone else on the ground.

Pederson has been pivotal up forward. He is providing a target, leading with intent and bringing the ball to ground - whilst taking 3-4 GWS blokes with him. Ben Kennedy has been a bit of game changer. Usual suspects in 2016 playing well: Watts, Viney, Gawn, Salem.

Two different game plans.  They are playing a rebound from half back counter attack style game and we are trying to play a total dominance style. 

 

They caught us on the rebound early a couple of times but we changed up our defending with a loose man when they got a turnover and it stopped them.

Thanks I'm out of town so scores are very much appreciated

U just missed an awesome team goal via half dozen or so handballs. 

The Melbourne of old would've completely messed that up. Great team play, they surely believe in each other!

PAUL ROOS SAYS: "Encouraging ball movement, good around contest. Get it in there, bring the ball to ground, win."

Pretty simple.

Jack Watts and Matt Jones have transformed, they are so far from the 2015 models it's crazy.

it doesn't matter who the opponent is. 

That style of Football can beat anyone...

The Giants' counterattack is what caused a 10 goal turnaround early last year. It's something we really need to address.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
