Weid is as affective as McCartin and that ain't saying much. Bring back Pedo.

I didn’t even know he was out there, this can’t be helping his confidence. 

 

Hogan is a beast 

Got howled down by the nuffies on here last week saying we should drop Weideman.  Open your eyes, he is so far from AFL level it’s laughable.

 

In: Viney, Garlett

Out: ANB, Tyson/Weideman

Game is closer than the score shows thanks to their kicking. We are over possessing and too many cute kicks but moving the ball more aggressively than we have all year. Brayshaw and Tyson both been very good but both have had some clangers. Our forward smalls play too high and we aren’t capitalising at the drop of the contest in 50. Need to get a couple of early ones and put them away. 

I must be watching a diff game. Tyson has been caught twice and lucky not to be pinged for another few. Disposal has been average.

 

Better 2nd half, but he has to get rid of ball quicker and cleaner.

 

The score line definitely flatters us. We are about even. Only difference is they can’t kick.

Yeah totally agree. We were reasonable in the first and pretty average in the second. Need to go for the first option a bit more. We also started to look a bit lost going into forward 50. Need to bring it down and get some forward pressure.

Harmes has been decent, ANB not so much. Loving Jones’ game again today. He’s been good his year.

Cmon Dees go on with it and build percentage!

If i can put it another way..Harmes...some good...a lil very good...rest meh... result..about even..

Nibbler..done some good things...stuffs his finish...a few bad boo-boos. Result.... negative.

Strap yourselves in / so begins the infamous Melb fade out followed by 12 goals by st kilda and inaction by Goodwin

You're quickly becoming a poster not worth reading, timbo.


Percentage time. 

We really aren't playing that well. Conceding soft goals as well. I want a ripping last quarter 

I’m so angry with that last goal, so soft and yet I could feel it coming. 

Jones has been great today except for the two play ons when he shouldn’t have but at least he was having a go.

I know we need to have high expectations, but we're up by 6 goals.  Scratch that, 7.

You guys are ridiculous sometimes.  Opposition sides WILL kick goals and WILL have some good pieces of play.  That's footy.  We've just had far more of them.

Hard to believe some of the negativity reading through this thread you would think we are 40 points down, not 50 pts up with a quarter to go. far cry from a few years ago hey...

Jones looks like a liability sometimes but jesus he works hard so impressive.

should never play on he is too damn slow

 

Weed kicks 2 and keeps his spot.

 

Cmon sweet, sweet %

Ten goal win is a minimum.

Good to see Weideman take his chances.

ANB missed a tackle earlier on a player who was already being tackled by Jones. So in effect, he missed a tackle on a player who not only wasn’t moving but couldn’t move.

  • 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.
