a lot of positives so far tonight, playing well as a team. poor disposals are still there but not as many and not hurting us as badly as past weeks.  we certainly in with a chance regardless of the umpires.

 

Petty looks a player. Hasn't done much but a good intercept Mark and a few spoils nice size looks composed..

    We went in undercooked this year but I wasn’t expecting it to include the coaching staff.

    They’ve evolved.

    Lacking the polish that would have us almost home

    But loving the aggressive movement through the middle

    This is what I don’t understand, how isn’t this addressed, Carey, BT, Dunstall have all spotted the issue, yet he’s shanking them left and right every week.

     

    Trac needs to chat to a specialist goal kicking coach, clearly Melbourne don’t have one.....

    No he needs to see a psychologist. This is purely mental. He is terrified of missing and you can see it clearly in his face.

    Ok we are still in front, they are potentially 2 down. We need to take advantage of that. I like our run and play on but sometimes I feel we are doing one to many handballs where we should just be getting it long. 

    I like how Baker went in to stand up for harmes in that quarter. 

    If we can get 2 or 3 goals from Trac and Tommy finds his 1st quarter form we can hold on. 

    Maxy is rucking brilliantly. 

    Come on dees we can do this.

    Needs to talk to Russell Robertson. I remember he went through a similar faze earlier on in his career, fixed it up and become one of our most accurate kicks for goal.

    We lost our energy after that small break in play. Hopefully we can capitalise this qtr

    100%

    from memory he lowered his ball drop, learned to take a big breath before beginning his approach, and relax then kick through it

    Couldn’t hurt as he is putrid at the moment. Makes Casboult look like a dead eye.

    Trac is a good long kick. 

    But his kicking for goal whether from a mark or snapping or on the run is horrible. He needs help

    Incidentally, Elliot Yeo is up to ten tackles at half time.  Say what you will about his ducking cheating rubbish wehn he has the ball, he's putting in the effort. 

    I hope one day he ducks and someone actually really hurts him. Cheat!

    I love the way we are playing this game. I like the games of Baker, Petty and also T. Smith.


    Come on Melbourne 


    Stretch's kicking inside 50 ....blah !!!   TRAC THAT IS [censored] RUBBISH!!!!

    I don’t think we’ll win this but this has been reassuring. May Lever Jetta melk Hannan and we’re back

    OTOH please can we get pe-trarckarh’s kicking sorted

    Would love a straight drop punt......yes!!!! Jeffy alleluia alleluia

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
