Thetes the trademark late goal by the opposition...

 

Posted

Confidence in front of the sticks is the issue.

We are cracking in. However, we are like a racehorse sweating up in the starters gates.

We're a 10 goal better side.  At least.  Kicking is the only thing letting us down.  Outside of that last goal there our backline has worked superbly to stop their run forward.  They look up from half back and have nowhere to go.

Now to finish them off in the third term.

convinced that the reason teams are so efficient going forward against us is because we are attacking so much, and have so much of the ball. Our defenders are caught off guard, flat footed and day dreaming. Reminds me of junior footy, whenever one team is smashing the other, the losing team will go forward once and kick a goal. The winning team just doesn't defend because it doesn't need to most of the time.

we have a lot of talent back there. The problem is that opposition coaches flood our forward line, and have players stream back. It's easier when you're defending to transition, then it is to attack and then defend the transition because the attacking players need to run the other way. Defenders are already facing the direct they're transitioning in.

4.2 from 13 inside 50s that’s pretty much a score every second time they go in there, good sides will give us a hiding it’s why I can’t see finals this year lever was a huge loss

We just play dumb football. Our player forward of centre just get in each other’s way. We should be 45 up but our incompetence leaves them in the game. I am still unclear on what we are trying to do.

Maxy really is mentally weak in front of goal, I'd actually take Bugg before him in a kick for my life.

He should just handball immediately now, it's just not worth the risk.

This should be over.  The poor kicking is just turning this into a rubbish spectacle.

He is mentally weak in every part of the ground. He thinks he is a great sledger and chit talker on the field, he needs to focus on the basics, like you know footballing.

We should be 10 goals in front. Why am I getting a dreadful feeling about this.

Choking once again with our season on the line.

5 goals 15 behinds  .....  woeful.

They keeping asking about the humidity on the telecast BBO, how sweaty is it?

Not watching.... glad I'm not by the looks of it

no forward structure at all kick and hope why not play ff and cf and let the crumbers do their job

Hard not to be frustrated by that half with the uncapitalised dominance. Probably should have been game over by 1/4 time. This game is almost a replica of the game against Gold Coast earlier in the year. We are on track for a record I50 count.

I noticed Goodwin has moved smith forward in that qtr. Not sure why?

FMD we always seem to concede a goal right on the siren 

Better that Q but so bloody frustrating. 

44 to 13 I 50 and only lead by one goal and some behinds.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
