GAME DAY: Melbourne vs Richmond - JLT #1

Petty’s probably a year off in terms of getting his weight where he wants it to be but he’s definitely playing above it today.

I wonder do we take the risk & put him in the 22 round 1 ? I’m wondering if we put him in Lever’s spot until Lever gets back ? Gives him half a year of what it’s like playing regular first grade football so hopefully he can turn into our second key backman next year.

 
 

I know it's only JLT but I would drag Frost I'd I was Goody.


Who the hell is this Balta person.

Our disposal is woeful. 

Again, much of it coming from the depth players.  It's not even a blip on the radar.  Change out many of those for the 8-9 we have missing today and we're away.

    I want Salem to be a midfielder - but he just isn't. He is far more effective down back.

    Salem is our sweeper in the backline

    the depth players are showing very little... disappointing

    That's why they're depth, Jim.  They are being relied upon in this game to do more than usual and it shows.  That's what JLT is for.  Guys like JKH, Stretch and others are spending far more time in the midfield without Viney and Jones in there, while our backline has struggled without May, Hibberd, Lewis and Jetta (plus Lever, but as we know he's out for a while).

    I'm impressed with the side we have in that we're level at half time and we've played some excellent passages of footy.

    Not a good sign re: our depth then. 

    Yes, but very different when you have one or two depth players amongst a settled line up. Back line especially is pretty well all second-choice.

    I disagree.  It's why we class them as depth.

    Plus it's March.  Every first up game has these sort of turnovers.

    Brayshaw probably to the main offender, which is annoying because he is a ball magnet.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
