Effort is there.

 

Just some polish and we can absolutely win this.

Surprised they're not finding a way to pay frees against us. 

Unbelievable eh

There's that last-second goal concession that we all knew was coming… 

I spoke too soon. He's missed it. He's missed everything. That's very big for our confidence (mine at least) that we go in ahead at the break.


It’s amazing how Dangerfield can scoop / throw out the ball right in front of an umpire and it’s play on.

Think we will loose this unfortuanlty, have all the footy but kicking behinds and kicking it with pinpoint accuracy to their defenders

My gut feel is similar. It has the makings of one of those games. The Port game, The North game last year, hell even the Freo game in 2002 where we led slightly at half time and Farmer daggered us on the siren.

Man I hope I'm wrong

Yet we can handball...and get pinged for throwing !!

It's the Belmont effect !! ?

Or how Tuohy can fend off a tackler, turn 180 degrees, take a step and then get nailed and he's had no prior opportunity. 


Considerable difference in interpretation on tackles. Shame the umpires can't mute the crowd sound

Joel Selwood hasn't started ducking yet.

 Harmsie hasnt let him

Keep the effort up and can win.


We are still long bombing into the forward 50. Doesn't work on the narrow Geelong ground. LOWER THE EYES!

Belmont? But I agree interesting what Danger gets away with and the snickey ruck nomination in front of goal was a classic. We just have to be aware that they are sly bastards. Rule needs to be changed. 

Harmes to Danger or Lewis to injure him. Pick an option.

Being the usual enigma that he is 

I feel like I haven’t even seen him at all.. not injured or anything? 


We need to keep the effort and we're a chance. Try to go through the middle more and take our chances. Do we move Harmes onto Danger or keep Selwood under control?

Hate mentioning it...does Chunk EVER look where he's kicking ?? Ffs ...kills momentum and effort

That’s our Jeffy! That’s also why he plays a lot of VFL

Loving the effort, loving the pressure and loving the fact that, in hostile territory, we are more than serving it up to the enemy.

We are right in this contest, and if we can keep the scoreboard pressure up then a win is there for the taking!

  • 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.
