If only we can kick straight 

Frost in superb touch though 

 

ANB is turning it over at a world record pace.

Still only 14 points with an hour to go

Get Tough Melbourne 

 

Who is surprised that when we need him most, Gawn is going at 50% fitness, Oliver is nowhere to be seen, likewise Jones, likewise Lewis. TMac can’t buy a goal, and Sydney can’t miss. 

[censored] me why do I do this to myself? Why do I get my hopes up every damn year?

3 goals to half time is dismall. What has happened to Tom's kicking? 

Hey Melbourne we are playing for a top 4 spot today. How much do u want it


What the hell has happened to Tom  McDonald? Hasn't kicked a set shot for 2 weeks.

Sorry, is it full time or half time?  So many calling this over.  It's 14 points FFS.

Pretty terrible quarter by our standards, but lots of improvement left in us and we have 2 quarters to do it in.  We finish games strongly and I see no reason why we won't do it again.  Obviously, our use forward needs to be cleaned up as it felt like every entry went in Aliir's direction, but outside of that we are still getting plenty of shots on goal and good run going forward.

Why anyone thinks we're out of it is beyond me.

Stock standard melbourne

Just shocking. Goodwin better fired the shitheads up. This is crap. We could have smashed them. We will lose against eagles and gws. Play finals what a frickin joke. 


Jones just jogged from half forward to half back in no mans land with no opponent as the ball shot passed him time and time again.

One good thing.  We are close enough if good enough.  Now show us what you are made of Demons!

Man 3.12, the sky looking dark as anything. This just feels ominous as ever. We don't look up to it. When your two best spearheads miss routine shots it says a lot about the mentality and we aren't there yet.


Jones needs a rocket. Looks slow and indecisive.

Same old story. Dominating almost every stat except goal accuracy. It's maddening how soft this team is in front of goal under pressure.

Need to clean this [censored] up if the team ever wants to taste success at the highest level. Blowing yet another golden opportunity today and it's entirely our fault.

Get your [censored] together Melbourne.

I actually thought we had learnt but we continue to kick to a forward line where we are outnumbered. 

Are we the worst club for set shots or what 3 goals 13 behinds FML.

This is terrible, stage fright, 6 goals allowed in a row. 

Goody [censored] do something.

Wake up Dees or another opportunity is gone. 

I cant see alot of detail from where I'm sitting.  Did we change up the starting mid field in the 2nd quarter or did the Swans change and/or just started getting more of the ball out of the middle??

We were much more dominant through there in the 1st

Honeymoon is over 

Get him down back where he belongs 

Pedersend fwd for rest of game


Stress not my friends, will dominateafter half time and win by 8 goals. Mark my word. 

Sydney showing why they've been up there and thereabouts for a decade or more.

For us, once again, inexperience, both individually and together.

I hope goody makes some changes in the second quarter. I'd put pederson forward and Tyson off the wing, Jayden hunt on the wing , avb on the bench

 

This is doable.

When we get our skates on and get the ball out from a contested pack situation, then we have looked a cut above.

It's when we get set shots in front of goal, we crap our pants.

If we start converting then this is ours to win.

Kicking inaccuracy is well & truly going to be an issue for the remainder of this game. 

& for the usually reliable McDonald... his set shot kicking has dropped off a heap over the past month.

Need more composure going forward. 

Lets see if we can make amends in the second 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.
