Right now the Hogan May deal looks very ordinary we don't have the talent of either.

    Personally i'd consider playing Trac out of the square and make him a leading forward. Tell him his job is to kick goals and give him the license to go for it.

    Too slow for that job he would not get away from the defenders and he is a poor kick for goal.

    agreed. As far from the goals st possible. I'd put him centre square to touch the ball a bit more

    Unless he can run and find space and his team mates can kick the pill on to his chest, with bullet like precision, CP would be completely smothered and left standing on the rebound.

    Yep !!!!

    Trac is something of an opportunist player.

    There's an art to being a lead up forward. He doesn't strike me as it.

    Even than, he's be too slow with bullet passes as he would have 6'-3"  or 6'-4"  reaching past him defenders to punch clear. and again once ball is on the ground he is still too slow on his feet

    His hands are quite good, so IMo, he should be rotating in the middle with Oli.

    Absolute twaddle, don't know which bit some on here don't get, we have a team of 22 that has put in two poor performances, one where the midfield failed and were duly criticised,  the other where the midfield started to get it together but the team connection was horrible

    We have players stuttering to find match day form, not from an injury point of view but pure and simple form

     

     

    Are you still denying we had a horrible preseason? You said all summer that our injuries and surgeries were of no concern, despite half team being in rehab.

    0-3, bottom of the ladder, terrible percentage, dysfunctional all over the ground.

    What an insipid performance, from a club that has done nothing for almost 20 yrs. I knew this would happen when they inflated their egos in the off season. Let's evaluate last night's team.

    Jones- done nothing this yr , runs one way poor disposal

    Viney- underdone no mongrel

    TMac- out of form can't get near it

    Max- improving

    Melk-- big head needs to stick to the basics

    Oliver- down last night needs to hit the scoreboard.

    Petrracca - bighead needs to stick to the basics

    Brayshaw- great player only runs one way

    Oscar- CASEY

    ANB- fringe player loved by coach.

    Hunt- Wingman likely peaked

    FROST- Casey 2nds

    Weids- improving slowly.

    C Wagner- fringe

    J Wagner-fringe

    Nev- hindered by our ridiculous zone defence needs one on one

    Lockhart- to early to say

    KK- Not fit looks lost.

    Salem- doing his best.

    Harmes- doing his best

    Fritz - improving played out of position

    Hibberd- not enough run looks out of form.

     

    The same defensive issues were around last year. We were scored heavily against by good kicking teams who kick through that defensive zone or that's what they call it.  Surely we couldn't be worse one in one like the Swans, Afterall as soon as they get it they just bash it fwd like we do.

    Our fwd line, just a clogged up mess of players competing for the same ball.

    Last night reminds me of 2013, letting a team kick more than four goals in the first quarter is just unacceptable?

    Gutless performance what team do we play into form this week.

    Disgusted

    What we want and what we get are polar opposites.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
