    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.

     

    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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
