This is what happens when you dont recruit speed over the summer.

    We look stuffed and unfit. 

    Its the first game of the season and we look done.

    I don't think it has anything to do with speed, dazzle.  It's more to do with workrate.  Lots of commentary around how we're coming off stuffed, while Port come off looking fresh and ready to roll.  At the moment we don't have the legs to run with them, speed or not.  That's a worrying sign.

    [censored] pathetic Melbourne! Nothing has changed over the summer!

    We are so slow and have gone into survival mode.

     

    Why is Viney playing if he can’t get around the ground? 3 touches and 1 tackle.

    Good composure from Wagner there.  

    And Trac kicking a set shot?  Is that a good sign?

    Wagner has been pretty good

    He has certainly shown that he could play more senior footy, and good senior footy, for us this year.

    their transition out of defense is destroying us. people say speed or lack thereof is our Achilles heal. It's not. The MCG is.

    sounds more like the problems of last year where for most of the season we pushed our zone too deep

    Getting bullied and killed on the outside by a bunch of [censored] kids!

    For how poor that second quarter was, outside of the last 5 minutes or so, we're still just 3 points down.  There is an absolute bucketload of improvement still to come from a variety of players, and a bake from Goody will surely rev them up a little.

    Their transition from defence has been terrific we we've generally had no answer for it.  We will need to find that answer quickly, otherwise we will find ourselves in a hole we can't dig ourselves out of.

    Salem has been excellent across half back, Fritsch is an absolute gun and Melksham is such a good player.

    We need Viney to life, Trac to get involved and to fire up as a whole for the second half.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
