I love Melbourne.

I love you.

I love a win.

It was one of the most frustrating games to watch in among some good footy and in among some horror football.

But the last two minutes summed it up for me.  The new Trac, kicking the sealer.  Lever and May taking big marks when we needed it.  Then Viney boots it forward to Kozzie who shows maturity in kicking in to Harley.  Love it.  

There is still so much to work on but we won away from home against a side playing good footy.  Love it.

And the WEED!

Thank god.

AVB, Hannan, Viney all huge and big impact.

Oscar an important inclusion.

Oliver and Max had clumsy games.

Their speed challenged us at times but we held firm.

Still major concerns about conversion and skill efficiency. Our turnovers continue to kill us.

1 down for most of the game, good effort.

Rankine is going to be some player though

Is it what.  Fantastic debut.  I thought Nev did okay in patches but he was too clever for him on a few occassions.

 

Hmmmmm.......not a single moment of that suggests we have come anywhere near the corner we need to turn. Still, a win’s a win, and it’ll give them some confidence. In what, I just don’t know. 

Thank Lucifer.  We've started playing something resembling real footy again.

Viney, Hannan and even AVB in the last..

Vn job

All three had massive second halves.  AVB with some big tackles, Hannan getting back to some of the 2018 form that made him so dangerous, and Viney leading from the front.  Really terrific to see.

Goodwin is a genius. Give him another 5 years

Good game good inclusions, [censored] me Rankine is scary

Pickett to Harley.. i jizzed.. 

That is a bloody good win! Don't underestimate the suns. They're going to be a good side this year and years to come. 

The composer from Oliver, Hannan and Pickett was simply huge!

Welcome back Weideman.


So, we showed a glimpse of what might be if we move it inside 50 with a bit more consideration.

But Lord, all the polish has been chaos-ed out of this team. It's going to take a while.

 

What a game by Viney. 
 

He totally redeemed himself tonight.

Kossie to Harley to finish ?

Couldn't have picked a better finish to the game.

Still bloody frustrating at times but you could certainly see the message sinking in! Really stoked with how they responded this week, huge step forward.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

    It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
