Yeah and imagine if Henderson was playing for the Cats. 

There are no excuses. We should be in this game and we are not. 

No matter how many disappointment this club faces, they don’t seem to learn. Goodwin has a lot of answer for. Poor selection and awful match day coaching. Either we are serious about winning or we are trying to develop NQRs like Wagner and Maynard and Hannan?!

Agree, Wagner not even close, Maynard VFL and Hannan doesn’t do enough week in week out.

That quarter was atrocious, disposal poor, not running, not tackling.

Hopefully it can only get better!

Good to see Ablett give the umpire coaching tips at qtr time, he and Selwood get a dream run!

The whole telecast has been all Geelong, I thought it was out home game.  Nothing about Melbourne.  Surely they can find something to promote us.

Think the Drugfather. Watson may just Orgasm soon over Geelongs midfield

Hunt had a shot and missed from straight in front. 

I stand corrected. ........one touch.

In lieu of being at the ground, I watched the player tracker on the AFL Live app and it looks to me like Lever is always the spare defender at stoppage setups, but by the time the ball arrives in their 50 he's always been forced to take someone. This suggests that we're not getting back as quickly as Geelong are getting forward - this to me is a whole of system failure rather than an individual.

I accept this is a lot to extrapolate based on watching dots move about a phone screen.

Lever is setting up that way. The problem is that a forward drops back and then slips behind him when they get the ball. They've scored repeatedly by taking a Mark over the back with Lever desperately trying to get back to make a contest. He's being out-positioned every time.

You're joking?

geelong has been at 80% efficiency going forward the whole game. literally all they had to do was steady defensively and they'd establish the lead.

yeah we'll come back, kick 5 or 6 in a row, but we're still going to lose. This game may well as be round 14 2017. We play exactly the same time of football. 

Geelong is simply too efficienct around the ground. there's no way the cats lose from here.

this is more whether geelong is the type of team that loses from here, rather than if we have what it takes to win.

Geelong does not lose games from here.

I’ld still like to think we can win from here and see if we can change our structures to stem the bleeding. Obviously can’t do it on the fly, unngeelong.

the team are still suffering AFLX premiership hangover

 

We had almost none of it that quarter a few they haven't put a match winning lead on us yet.

Still have faith that if we put it together in the 3rd, we are right back in it.  With Taylor out, they are playing one man down and I don't think that should be underrated.  Loozing for the reverse of last year.


We dont get the 1st goal it's over

So I haven’t been able to get to watch or listen to any of it but so far everyone’s concerns about Maynard and Wagner being selected have been justified. I honestly have no clue how either got considered for round 1 after their JLT efforts.

we didn't and it is

We need this max. Cmon.

Gone. Looking forward to a rout from here.

?

Next to no forward pressure. They are just strolling out with the ball


We gove them as much time as they need.

 

No urgency at all.

 

 

I subscribed to the Watch AFL overseas thing, and i cant even be bothered opening it.... whats the score?

they have time to make a mistake, find their footing and waltz it out.

  • 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.
