Instead of talking about Weiderman coming in for Jackson, let's talk about Weiderman in for TMac.

Let's talk about Weideman instead. You clearly have a sharp eye for detail.

    Good to see truck has worked in his goal kicking.
    Seemed to be more confident when kicking for goal which is good to see. (Kicking his first goal also helps his confidence)

    I’m willing to give them at least another week or two given the circumstances, especially given the Eagles capitulated to the Suns which no one saw coming. Also seems rather pointless calling for the coach’s head given no club will be in a position to afford to sack a coach this year.

    Is this result a fitness issue?

    Its hard to believe not long ago Tmac was a contender for the Coleman.

    Petracca solid and kicked true.

    Lever and May need to pull up their socks.

    Can we play one of these guys up forward?

    The sad irony of this team is that we have a prodigious list of talent.

    We have seen many of these players really shine.

    That said how can we constantly explain the inconsistancy?

    Is it possible T Mac cracked the sads that his bother got omitted and hence came in with a poor attitude?

    This post is up there with the comment after round 1 that the players were "worried how they would get home from Perth"

    Give me strength this club can be pathetic. 

    How about we demand consistent effort.

    I can’t figure out if we are a good side coached poorly or just a poor side

    either way, it’s seems 2018 was the exception, not a trend

    I reckon TMac will come good. He has the turning circle of a truck right now for some reason. If he can get his body right, I still see him as a forward.

    Actually i agree with that. Watch it this morning without the emotion live & they definitely lifted especially the last two to three minutes !

    I've watched the last 2 minutes again. I haven't changed my opinion. Was shocking and very lucky to get away with it. Lever kicking to a two on one, where are the structures and players pushing across for the obvious down the line kick. Luckily, Carlton are just like us and don't know how to win.

    Again, some perspective is needed. In this round alone we’ve seen

    Are all of those clubs senior coaches [censored] like a Goody supposedly is?

    Fair enough point 

    i was after 4 goals a quarter wins most matches in any competition 

    consistent effort The thing. But I do take your point. It’s a different year and we are not Man Friday !!

    Pretty much nailed it with this post

    Yes he did with the negative twins,junior Mac and Clint, the negative twins, even after 10 goal wins, which by the way a can't wait for, hope they are round the corner. It's a pattern for the round, most teams have gone a half of footy with ever few goals, actually 90 % of teams have.

    If I had to choose between us bravely holding on or Carlton completely stuffing it up, I'd go with the latter.

    Heaven knows, as an MFC supporter, I know what a side choking in the final two minutes looks like.

    Let's put this round down as a preseason game with 4 points

    I’m putting the entire season down as that.

    Sounds like a good way to keep our sanity.

    Why do we have to be one of them?

    In clutch moments Jayden Hunt always seems to step up.

    Yesterday he was playing forward all day but runs past Brayshaw on the back flank when the game was in the balance received it and distributes it well. Then seconds later the ball is in our forward line and he is the one battling the contest.

    He's previously kicked a winning goal from a set shot.

    He's also created a contest, won the ball and kicked it to the player (I can't remember) who kicked the winning goal in another game.

    Plus the torp after 3/4 time siren.

    If anyone can remind me which games they all were I'll start a new thread

    First game back, hope they can iron out the creases this week leading into Essendon. Carlton are probably kicking themselves they weren't switched on from the start. 

    Goodwin showed us that when things go bad he can do nothing.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
