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

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
