Need to get the game on our terms in the clearances so we can control the ball movement better going forward.

Too often goes missing for too many quarters when the going gets tough.  Tends to look/perform better when we are on top.

You're talking about Jesse Hogan though right? Weids goes missing all the time in 2019 but played a couple of handy ones in 2018. Hoges dominated minnows in July.

Jack Viney always looked fine. I'd be shocked if he misses the rest of this game.

Geez chook I don’t know about that. I had a lump in my throat when I saw the image of him sitting in the bench.

'Play on at all costs' is a terrible game plan.  Suicide against any half decent team. 

Our delivery is already rubbish enough without the added disability of doing it blindly.  Brayshaw and friends = panic merchants.

It looks like two teams of under tens out there.  How does Goodwin think this is sustainable?

Our disposal efficiency is up significantly, particularly in 1st Qrt

This is my biggest issue with our team, moving the ball too quickly too often. The best teams know when to put the accelerator on if they see the options but will seach for the link up ball that allows the forwards to get separation on their man. 

ANB, Jones, Oliver, and Petracca from what I can remember of that quarter were all guilty of just banging it in there and the fact of the matter is that unless they hit the forward laces out it was always going to be rebounded.

Gilbert McAdam is living his best life. Head to toe in a fancy suit on national TV, but wearing comfy sneakers at the same time.

I'm not being facetious  but he needs to find a way to get himself involved

Plonk Weid in the goalsquare. 

And watch him get nudged off the ball repeatedly? If we want somebody to play in the goalsquare the better person would be Preuss but it’s been shown repeatedly for many weeks we don’t want to play that way in our forward line, so I don’t think they would consider it

In Weeds' defense the game is being played at ground level. Hipwood has also had zero impact.

We don't want to play that way in the forward line, but our midfielders want to play that way kicking into f50. There's your disconnect. Hopefully Goody's just soiled himself watching Gawn go down and we'll get some sanity next week.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
