I’m not keen on the team selections. But shall reserve my judgements until post game. 
 

Confidence is not high here.

Will certainly be watching how we deliver the ball into our forward 50. We have gone with a smallish forward setup so we better not be bombing long to the square! 

Fingers crossed we deliver the ball properly EH but our forwards need to play as forwards are meant to play ... leading to space,  multiple leads (at speed), defensive pressure,  play in front,  kick straight etc etc

But our clearance work needs to be clean & efficient.  Scrubbing the ball forward or banging it forward won't work

It all starts from the dominant ruckman ... and our schemes & set plays from the tap.

What's the reasoning there?

Geelong's got Ford in that same sport.

Zurich still on the front for us.

A game we had to win, were favourites and didn't come to play. Whereas we're not favourites today don't really rate Geelong and if we bring the right attitude we should be right in it. Hopefully winning.

Brayshaw with no helmet? Not sure about that? ?

Two kicks to the hot spot (both correct kicks to make) but no tall forwards to contest.

Nice.

Contrast this to Geelong’s first goal.

 

Another [censored] waste of inside 50s. Geelong one inside 50 and goal. 
Will Goodwin ever fix this?!


Melbourne football right there. Repeat rubbish forward entries, goes the other way defence a mess, easy goal to the opposition.

 

Lever caught ball watching.....

Count the easy goals for them. That’s 1. 

Lever misread that and didn't go up. 

On the one hand in happy that there weren't 3 players trying to spoil. 

On the other I'm not happy that it was Lockhart vs a ruck


Horrendous defence. They had three floating back to the goalsquare.

Suggests our forward press was too high and once they got through, it was too easy.

Dangerous signs.

Cats implementing a transition and MCG masterclass just then. We couldn't get near it

 

Normal transmission resumed

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
