You want another quick deck and the opposition to run all over us? 

Our frenetic game style is perfectly suited to a quick deck. That's exactly what we want.

It's the big grounds (like the MCG and Optus Stadium) that don't suit us if we don't work hard enough on the defensive spread.

The dimensions of Geelong suit us nicely, like Adelaide Oval's dimensions.

 

In: May, KK, Lockhart

Out: Hore, Spargo, Wagner

Not surprised.

Changes should give us a bit more run and a bit more aggro.

Not sure who is going to help Max in the ruck...

KK, May and Lockhart in. Wagner, Spargs and Hore out.

Frosty stays. Not too sure about this, especially if it's wet.  

 

How Frost is still in the team is beyond me. He. Is. Awful. 

If he could at least offer us something in the ruck I would understand. But he only offers turnovers.

agree.. i'd only keep one of frost or o-mac in the side.. shame about the boys dropped, but they'll be back

 


Was nervous this time last week when the sides were announced. Am so again this week, Frost lucky to keep his spot. Rushing KK in after 1 VFL practice match (sounds familiar) another debutant after getting a spot on the list 2 weeks ago ? Screams desperation

How the [censored] is Frost still in the team. Wagner a bit stiff, he at least had a dip last week. And I hope Todd plays instead of Jack, reckon he would move better.

Knew Kolodjashnij was coming in, he is a good player. 

Great to see Lockharts dream come true.

Keilty emergency again, thought he was a chance this week but at least he is still in contention. If he keeps his good form cor a couple of VFL games, hopefully he gets a go sooner rather then later.

 

Just glad Viney is playing.  Fingers crossed they aren't risking him and hes good to go.


I hope Viney is fully fit and not taking the spot of someone who is.

Frost could be used on a wing or up forward is my guess

Has the football IQ of a packet of twisties.

Omg Frost on the wing turning it over. What a dream!

Viney was never going to be dropped. 

I have a feeling Frost is in the side to pinch hit in the ruck and possibly play forward a bit. 

Thank god Hore is out. Frost and Oscar still in the team makes me worry. Interesting to see how they play Frost.

I'm not filled with confidence... Unless he's improved his fitness drastically in 7 days

Any chance for some positivity from Melbourne supporters?

How about getting behind the boys instead of acting like spoilt brats?

Yes Round 1 was disappointing but the last time we played Geelong we beat them in an Elimination final.

There is so much negativity going around atm from supporters it's quite ridiculous. 

It's round 2 FFS and we have a very important game coming up. Let's chuck the dummy out of the cot when it is Round 4 and we are 0-4.

Trouble is I have read this book before. Under neil D    one year good  next year shizen.   Hope history not repeating.   Worry that injuries ect preseason has left us  under done and in a few weeks  may come good but too late.  Would not want to be 0 -4

Frost doesn’t wear 30 on his jumper. 

Yes he had a bad one last week but he wasn’t alone. He played some good footy last year.

I agree with Wise he is probably there to pinch hit in the ruck and play a bit forward.

Honestly, as poor as his brain was last week, we need his speed... We were sooooo sloooooowwwww

Because he's speed was so damaging in that passage of play in the last qrt where he burst through the middle, had no idea what to do then got pinged holding the ball & stupidly booted it away & gave away 50

Agree on both

But is it really doing anyone any real favours by playing Jack if not properly fit/recovered ?

Just asking.

Or in the first quarter when he received the ball at full pace, decided to change direction at full pace and ended up laying on the ground, being tackled and caught holding the ball.

Maybe Viney is fit and just had a really poor game last week. Or maybe he received an early knock last week.

Agreed that we should not be carrying unfit players but gee we need his intensity...hopefully it is his usual intensity and not the Round 1 intensity.

 

Goody could be doing a Sheedy and bring Pruess in at the last minute for Frost.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
