It is [censored] infuriating. We give a free kick away on our attacking 50 and we are so pushed up that the Saints take 2 kicks and 5 seconds to be having a shot on goal. Richo was laying into us. 

Our defensive awareness forward of centre is getting progressively worse and has been an issue throughout Goodwin's reign.

what more can one say about this gameplan

 

Fritter in the forward half of the ground easily > Fritter in the defensive half. Can't believe it took this long to make that happen.

Hard to appreciate that we now struggle against cellar dwellers... wait..... we are a cellar dweller

    Well I’ll take it. 

    If we can start defending, we might win this.

    Ok settled and looked better at the end


    so it really needs to be discussed. Do I know more about footy than Goodwin? I've been asking for fritsch to be played since day 1 and quite frankly I think its embarrassing that it took him 17 rounds to do it.

    Nothing to do with the game plan. If the players don't work to position, that's what happens.

    Lewis up forward is already a find for us.

    Both Wagners need to go! 

    Lack of fitness, arrogance, or laziness? Which makes us a worse defensive running side?

    They've been ok Jaded IMO.  Limitations at the moment as early days but both play with intensity ar the footy and opponents.  Josh really dropped off from a reasonable start to the season then went back for a stint at Casey when higher rated opponents returned but thats what happens to inexperienced players.

    Cory similar.  In for a few out for a few.

    Takes a while to find feet at such a high level.  Lets see how they go for remainder of year eh.

    You think it was a coincidence that when our back six returned from injury that Fritsch went fwd again?

    Oh to make positional discoveries a mere 6 weeks before a player is due to retire. How useful.

    I prefer to think of it a a low centre of gravity- he is so strong around the hips and rarely goes to ground

    Nope.

    After a couple of dud tunes, we have another for the victory playlist -

    James Brown, Get on Up:

    Starts with a goal to Fristsch, finishes just after Smith nails his.

     

    So all our goals have been thanks to two mighty smooth songs so far.

    Don't understand when you get a fast start why the hell you don't go doubly hard to make it a six goal advantage. Let them back far too easily. Lever, Lewis, Fritta, Clarry and Petracca have been good.


    Why is Lingy yelling at us?

     

    ANB just gets in the way.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
