We are dominanting the gsme but not the scoreboard.

Our f50 connextion is our biggest weakness.

I think our biggest weakness is not being able to defend the opposition's counter attacks. Take that out and you take out the greater % of goals scored against us this year.

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

Gus had a  ripping 1st qrt today and ripper game last week.

Dodgy decisions and poor kicking sees our  down 4  to 5 goals.

Need to get Hogan into the game more. Weid and Tmac up front and get Hogan higher I say

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

Prob is playing out of the square, makes a lead and by the time they stop handballing it to each other he is on the back flank...

his first quarter was crap mate he got alot of kicks but then were clangers and he looked cooked 2 mins in when Jack Steven streamed down the wing to set up a goal


Only we could be dominating a team so much and only have 22 point lead. Inside 50s have been disgraceful, no one actually looking to see where the forwards are, Clarry’s centering up was actually the perfect example as he put it right where there was a cluster of suns players. 

Nibbler has been ok but that miss sums up why he’s becoming the new whipping boy. 

Salems goal at the end of the quarter will hopefully give the boys a boost.

He can't convert to save himself. Whereas Salem & Tom  McDonald.

16 effective disposals running @ 76% efficiency.  5 Clearances.  7 score involvements and 5 interceptions.  Arguably one of the best on field!

So many others missing easy stuff also and you pick Harmes out!??  Not renowned for goal kicking anyway.

Harmes with 20 touches.

Needs to do more damage with them DJ. Then he'd go to another level. Has transitioned nicely from a HFF to a mid supporting forward.

Could swap him with Trac when they switch positions.

We should be 10 goals up on this mob. Let us see if we can put em to the sword in the last half. Poor kicking is poor football.  ANB you should be embarrased.

If anyone is labeling him better than Petracca that might be by default - due to Brayshaw actually getting a kick the past fortnight. Petracca has dropped off of a cliff. I remember watching this guy as a junior and I'd of punted the house on Petracca making it. Just looks a burst player.

Lever asleep

Good goal Nibbler.

Yep, out of form is Trac. Not getting a lot of it and not doing much with it when he does.

Common Demons!  Better

Gawn dog!

 

Get out of the way!

we should win this one ladies and gentlemen.... hopefully we can now enjoy the rest of the game

Ain't over just yet DJ. Don't forget we've played a lot of footy in a short period of time the past 18 days.

Agree. He's going past Petracca IMO.  CP yet to get close to dominating a game. Set shots deplorable

bit of a concern.. would be nice to see him tear it apart this half

  • 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.
