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.

Just asking. 

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
