but i agree we should avoid making any silly statements until we have much more consistency and keep a lower profile without being invisible

"our aim is to play consistent football week in and week out - we look no further forward than the team we are playing next week - that is our focus"

( that is how the question should be answered)

    I laugh when I see people calling for TMAC's head. Don't they realize when he plays poorly we lose? Drop him and we're no chance. 

    Just so so dumb. 

    Clearly he's important, just as clearly he's one of the most infuriating players I've ever seen.

    infuriating is an understatement, but in this case i dont think we can heap any blame on the back 6. Not much you can do when stkilda have that much space coming out of our forward line. They played bravely 10-15m closer to goal than other teams have. If we had put preasure on up the ground we would be talking about all the intercept marks Tmac and Dunn had. But instead there was little to no pressure and the ball just got kicked over the top. Good luck stopping them when it gets kicked 10m over our heads.

    Yes some of the responsibility lies up the ground, but the back 6 continually exacerbated it by leaving their own men to affect contests they realistically they had zero chance of getting to.  It just compounded the problem time and time again.  

    Besides this, they let their opponents get goal-side too often, playing 5 metres off them.

    You're a backman, your primary goal is to stop your direct opponent from getting the ball!

    This is a coaching decision. I also find it frustration i was losing my voice yelling at every damn uncontested mark they were getting but I just feel we should be directing that blame to the box more than to the players.
    I understand playing aggressively but when they kicked 2/3 quick goals to start the 3rd qtr why would we not change to a more defencive structure to stem the bleeding?? I guess it may be a learning thing for the players but god its hard for us supporters to watch

    In true Melbourne FC fashion, I suggest a duel at 20 paces, pistols only. 

    Don't forget your canes and monocles, chaps.

    Would definately entertain a trade for him at years end! Has tto many Flaws for my liking!

    We were beaten by 22 clones, who should have been a lot more tired than what they were, after playing previously at roughly the same time but against a much

    more debilitating opponent in Hawthorn who incidentally also collapsed this week. St Kilda's coaching methods need to be emulated or dirt samples taken.

    No, I really think we should keep 'Joeboy'...I'm sure he will be back in form next week.

    Ah I was refering to Tom Mc Donald. But if Joeboy can play Key defence then he might solve some problems!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
