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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
