Tell Tmac not to move 35 meters from goal. Means they need at least one player back on him opening gaps in their zone. Tiges do it with martin. I'd even have one of spargo, fritsch or Hannen at the 50 arc as well. Cant leave them alone.

wow ... sounds like old style football which we are continually told does not work anymore. The usual reason is that it leaves you one man down in the defensive press.

    Am i the only one that find it odd that we seem to place more emphasis on worrying about THEIR defence than actually promoting the essence of OUR forward function...i.e...an old ideal i acknowledge...SCORING !!!

    It ought to be them worrying about us up that end, not other way round. It's essentially a defeatist's outlook.

    To take the opposite line bb if yo leave one or two uo forward you are potentially crowding the forward space. In a perfect world the forward is supposed to run to space. It just seems that this year the world is only perfect for the other team in that they break to space so easily whereas we just bomb or stop.

    Off to see North and Port today ... will watch carefully how Brown positions himself. Great fun going to a stress free footy match.

    Sorry..my gist was/is...are we too preoccupied with them....up our end of the ground ? I understand trying to stop the ball coming back out but it seems all very arze about at times.

    Even the best players only have the ball in there possession for a few minutes each game, so what you do when you don’t have the ball is arguably more important. It’s a waste to have a player doing nothing for 99% of the game if they could be helping out defensively

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
