The bench are waiting to hear back from the interchange staff if they can sub-in Trengove. Cruel.

    Not much, other than he's no Sam Mitchell...

    Overall the effort was great tonight, but the execution was poor.  There's no denying that.  The Eagles made us pay for it and it won them the game.  I felt as though we matched them around the ground but we exposed our backline which we simply cannot do.  It's not talented enough right now to stand on it's own two feet and our midfield and half forward line need to support it better by eliminating the turnovers.

    Lots of positives, though.  Oliver was super and will only get better.  Hunt and Salem are primed for big years, Spencer gave us something, Lewis was a cool head under pressure and Brayshaw is another who is getting better each week.

    Lots of our better players were down today as well - Tyson had a mare, Benire turned it over and Maxy didn't exert his usual influence.  When you factor in that, as well as the turnovers, then a 4 goal loss is a fair reflection.

    We are a big chance to roll the Saints in a fortnight's time, and if we add a couple of pure small forwards, add Jetta and Hibberd to the mix and make the right selections re: tall forwards then there is no reason why we can't win in Round 1.

    honestly if 4/5 goal losses against top 6 teams are going to be our "pathetic" games then its probably going to be a pretty good year

    So pre-season's over and we still have room for improvement! :)

    Bring on the Saints and Season 2017!

    Just cause u dont give a [censored] doesn't mean the rest of us don't. 

    I didn't realise it needed to be brought up all night.  Check the Trengove thread, I care about his role in the side, I just don't care about his role in this game tonight being analysed with every second post.

    we won two quarters & lost two...

    Still feels like we are way to easy to score against when we inevitably turn it over. The work around the ball is good though.

    The way West Coast have run and scored so easily is the exact way St Kilda tear us up every time, which is the worrying part for round 1.

    This.

    Too many turnovers but we did run out the game well.

    Anyone else see Trengove storm off on his own in the rooms afterwards?

    And I'm part of that 99%.  I'm talking about this game and his role in it which was brought up ad nauseum every 30 seconds, or are you too slow to work that out?

    Pettacca is a real enigma ,all the talent in the world but finds it hard to find the footy at times

    Why not? He was taken over so why it let him have a run. 

    I can't understand the logic behind it.

    We were not that far off, some serious over reaction from some on here. Poor execution into and out of 50 cost us. Oliver fantastic and pretty even over the whole game. Pencil the only one on the fence who consolidated a round 1 spot. How Trengove can't get a crack when Harmes can is beyond me. Our whole backline, Hunt aside, was a disappointment.

  • Quote

    Trengove stormed off on his own in the rooms to the right of screens while rest of the team went into the back room. Anyone else see this?

    If there has been improvent Goodwin is hiding it well. We saw SFA indication of anything tonight.

    • 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.

    • 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.
