GAMEDAY: Rd 06 v Gold Coast

Featured Replies

 

Another game where we dominate for periods. Misuse the ball horribly and let the opposition run off our mistakes and score. 

 

Pressure certainly dropped off in the last 6-7 minutes, but we are playing better footy than the last few weeks.  Some of the usual things are still there - the turnovers, the silly decisions - but we've also seen us play a little more consistently up to this point.

Allowing GC some easier goals, even the ones they pulled out of their rear end, hurts, but I'm happy to be in front and we should go on and win this.

Why do our players try and take it from the oppositions hands when the ump is about to pay holding the ball!!!???

Never wait on the umpires to pay our club a free kick.

There should be a rule, if our midfielder have nothing on offer, hold onto the ball and draw players until there is something on offer. Just rushed players. If you're going to play chaos ball at least teach your players to hit targets and not just bomb.

And draw the player for the overlap.  We rarely ever do this under SG now.  Used to early on in patches.

 

Geez we look soft 

 

Half time and we're in front, but could be playing sooo much better, they on the other hand gotten most of their goals cheaply. Clean up our act and that stops.

Much harder said than done.


Relax everyone. We are dominating inside 50’s and we all know that’s a great indicator of the outcome.

I actually don't think we are. That's exactly what we have been dishing up. The opposition is just not the same quality.

has brayshaw got a bun stuck up his bum,

Kozzy...anyone think he has done anything to deserve a game this season? Been selected on potential and is providing little to no pressure around the forward line

Because they don't pay it very often.

Yes, but seriously, it's obvious the ump was about to pay it, there was the obligatory wait for 2-3 seconds that always indicates that a HTB is about to be paid. Otherwise the ump whistles a ball-up immediately

Anyway, a small thing, but just annoying as it turns a free kick into a contested ball situation

Needs a spell.

By periods you mean a large majority of the second quarter. Not a lot to show for our dominance. At one point GC had only 5 forward 50 entries for 2 goals. 

Better game than the Coll Hawt v game. I reckon were doing alright. Amazing how tracs miss can turn a game around

Melksham, Hannan and Picket in the forward line, all need to do more.

Is he playing?

he's being played as a forward / part time mid.  He's had one, maybe two, clean pieces of play (from mid field).  One was a lovely handball off the ground to a running Salem (i think).  Not much else and the else has been bog ordinary.

Dirty day for Lockhart. 1 free kick against, 1one percenter, and 1 pressure act,  being his only stats.

Its possible the one percenter and the pressure act were the same action.

  • 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.

  • 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.
