POSTGAME: Rd 05 vs Richmond

Featured Replies

 

We can play when we choose to. It is frustrating as all heck.

May and Hibberd huge in the second half. Hibberd might be a bit of a butcher but his efforts are crucial. 

Petracca is a star. If Oliver wants to be one he needs to fix those kicks under no pressure and do it yesterday.

 

Well I did open the changes thread last week with the comment that we should not play Lever and Smith in the same backline.

I got howled down

Time to find an interest in another sport for the season


 

Execution, execution, execution. That Oliver turnover in the last minutes summed it all up.

Nothing to do with Goodwin or the coaches, nothing to do with the system, everything to do with the players' failure to be able to execute even simple kicks/handballs, yet alone under pressure.

Petracca one of the few exceptions.

Passengers everywhere.

Sparrow, Jones, Jetta and Weid / Brown have to come in.

 


I was rolling my eyes at Dermott pre match when he suggested we have a couple of stat padders in the middle.

Watching Oliver... ?

Goodwin banged on that Harley needed to work on his defensive pressure.

Melksham 3 disposal 0 tackled

Hunt 4 disposal 4 disposal 1 tackle..

We are a garbage football club. Something is rotting at the football club. We have the talent on paper, but our coaching is a shambles.

We can play when the oppositions ruckman and 2 others are out of the game.


For the  most part, the effort was there.

But skills - appalling. No excuses. Especially for that late kick by Oliver. No pressure, 15 metre pass missing by 5 metres when we had all the momentum. Sums up our day actually. 

So often over the last 20 years, our skills have murdered us. 

 

It's an actual talent to take Oliver, Petracca and Brayshaw combined with Gawn and be useless.

 

On paper that is the most talented starting midfield in the league, in practice on the other hand ?

Finally Oliver Brayshaw and Viney are exposed. 

Sad to admit it but we are a bottom 4 side 

hope you’re embarrassed clarrie, that last effort was arrogant 


Footy is dead to me for 2020.

MFC can’t select the right side. Can’t dispose of the footy. Terrible coaching. Low scoring. 

We’ve had 2 years to correct this rubbish disposal.

Only thing that would save the year for me is a new coach.

  • 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.
