Win the last without injuries.

Then bring on the Swans.


Bit of a lapse but didn't lose the quarter so I'll take it. Need a strong finish! 

ANB dreadful turnovers that should be goals.

Panic merchant.

Let’s be honest here, we’ve played one good quarter and that’s it. Disappointing. 

Bring this slop the next 3 weeks and we won’t make finals.

2 goals to one that quarter... getting worse

Getting worse or nothing to play for? We've won. We've got an unassailable percentage. We have 3 tough games coming up. Why go for the kill?

Sloppy. I want to see us put the foot down in the last quarter.

We need to be sharp to beat the Swans. 


All well and good to be miles in front and obviously I am happy about that but we need to develop a real killer instinct mentality and should be 100+ in front now.

Exactly

The Swannettes will be sore this week

I’d rather us keep the momentum going and build this percentage than worry about the probability of a potential injury. Foot down. This footy won’t win next 3 weeks. Oliver and Brayshaw freaks as usual

Goody looks nonplussed in the box late in that quarter.    My armchair emotions are a bit more outlandish.

They’ve been a rotation down since Q1.

Look at the end of the day I’ll take an 80+ win with no injuries. That said I hope Goodwin does give it to them a bit, some bizarrely stupid decision making and a massive ease off of pressure. 

I swear since the seven commentators gave TMac a big pump up of his set shots he’s been 50/50. Really should’ve snared that one from a great mark. 

Anyway 20min of footy left to leave the suns a mess for next week. 

Geeze we butchered some chances that quarter.

Unassailable percentage? Cats play Suns and Dockers at home. What do you think they will gain in those games? We are wasting percentage again. Hope we out score them by another 6 or so goals this last quarter. 

normally would be rapt this far in front at the break but really that   qtr       was pathetic,and           oscar please go home

It’s not easy playing witches hats for 2 hours. They were lifeless and dead at 1/4 time

Geelong play Gold Coast in Rd23...in Geelong...186 may be under threat

Too many want to coast when presented with an easy win. Why is This. Mac being outmarked by a midget.

You've summed it up Jaded.

One quarter if very good footy then rooting around against a injury ridden bottom side.

Yes we win. But how well have we played?

2nd best percentage in the comp with 4 less wins not enough for you?

4 goals this quarter Jesse and your back in the Coleman race!

  • 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.
