Kennedy one possession 

They've just said he wasn't right in the warm up - didn't we take about 7 emergencies up this week?

Kents worst game? Has to be.

Nah, he's had a few absolute shockers this year.

Carried too many passengers in that half like Kent and Kennedy to name two. Need to seriously crack in this second half.

This zone defence is shittin me. I know we need to learn it, but it really is heart in mouth stuff every time they get the ball.

I almost think it removes accountability and allows half hearted jogging around, unlike playing on a man.

don't think we can play any worse than that and only 21pts down, Jones & Hogan been solid. Really miss Oliver!

Surely Salem and Dunne are better options than any of the current backs, particularly Wagner and Oscar MacDonald.

Very ordinary half of football.

Tyson, Kent, Garlett, Vince, Viney, stretch, Bugg, Kennedy, ANB, Omac, have been super pathetic.

Jones has had a lot of the ball, not doing any damage. Gawn is tapping to them.

cant win a clearance. Not working hard enough. Tackling is non existent when in a one on one. Goal kicking is pathetic, inside fifty kicking is even worse.

So poor.

 

If we renew our games in the NT we might as well send our ressies, as soon as we land here we go on holidays then lose the week after too.

20 tackles in the first half - its obvious we didnt make enough changes at selection, we are tired.

A miracle we are only 20 down.

Coast to Coasts killing us.

Something very familiar about that sentence....

Lucky to only be 21 behind at half time

I don't think we could have played worse but being down by less than 4 goals gives me hope.  Lots of players down do far, If our midfield can get on top we can win!

I know it's been asked before but why is Oscar playing ahead of Dunn? It's crazy. How stoked would you be if you saw Zac Dawson's skinnier brother lining up on you?

If i remember correctly our NAB cup game againt Port was quite similar to this, they dominated us in the first half and we came back hard in the second half and won?

Posted

Port have done very well to keep our small forwards quiet. Dixon has almost had more goals than Kennedy, Garlett and Kent have had possession in the first half.

We won the first quarter then totally went to water....they deserve a huge rocket at half time.

I see virtually zero redeeming features in him. Tallish.. maybe? Thats bout it. Slow, clumsy, weak in the air and cant kick.

We defend terribly.

MacDonald brothers may be good athletes but lack footy smarts.

Good athletes !!!??Oscar Mc Donald is slower than my mother, she's 92 and has a walker!! 

T Mac thinks he is Arnold Swazeneger, He is his little toenail!! Only

Oh and yes they also lack footy smarts!

It seems if we lose possession in our forward line its and easy transition goal to them.

I can't believe we haven't fixed this up yet this year,as we did nothing to change things against the saints and bombers.

There is something terribly wrong with our game plan when we are in transition,

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
