Dumb dumb dumb - so much dumb footy. Expecting us to eventually click and turn it around and convert all the hard work and domination into goals.

This better be our bad quarter

45 inside 50's for 8 goals...

Tom McDonald has to play FF. Stop playing him up the ground. He is a gun tall forward!!!!!

 

Nice end to the quarter.


welcome back .. everyone

that quarter was a roller coaster

From the AFL site:

Melbourne surrendered the lead during the quarter but take a 22-point lead to half time. The Demons have gone inside forward 50 on 45 occasions, the highest half time tally by the club on record and by any team since Adelaide in Round 10 2017.

We are dominanting the gsme but not the scoreboard.

Our f50 connextion is our biggest weakness.

Take out the inside 50 disposal and we are playing some pretty good football.

But once again we have no idea how to get it to a player inside our 50.

We overhanball which means when they are ready to kick the forwards have already lead and are now out of position.

Fix those up and we would be 10 goals up. Gotta ensure we don’t give them a sniff.

Sh*t like that annoys me from Brayshaw. He has clearly called for the ball (when he was under the pump), its sh*t like that - that makes me pull my hair out. I haven't got much left either.

he is insanely overrated by posters here! fumbles all the time and has [censored] disposal no pace, has played 1 decent game this year and everyone lauding him as better than petracca and Oliver lol


Big quarter ... outscore them by 24 points and then run away in the last.

That's what a good team does

We had both of our tall forwards playing up the field for far too long.  So many missed opportunities as a result and some poor finish from other smaller forwards has resulted in a very ordinary return for so many entries.  We also fail to hit enough leading targets, again due to both talls playing too much time high up.

Fix up the basic structures and keep a balance and we would be in front by 7 or 8 goals by now.

Very strange coaching which has hopefully been corrected in those last 10 minutes or so.


Agree leave tommy in the forward line. He has great hands. 

Better end to the quarter. I hope we go on with this and win well.

Hoges has had few stats but is leading the Kms with just over 8. Weideman second with 7.5kms

Interesting.....

Curnow will. That was pretty stupid

 

We are winning all the stats.Tommy showing he wants to be the number 1 forward and Harmes showing he does not want the swap with Viney next week. Salem does 1 lazy thing for every two good things which frustrates me. They are structuring well behind the ball and our kick into 50 has been poor. Clean that up and we will sail home, dont and we leave them hanging in the game to our peril. They will come out hard and persevere so lets put them away early. 

Gold Coast have got some talent on their list, they won’t be down forever.

  • 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.

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • 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.
