GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn

Just looked our marking numbers this year. I know we are a game behind but our total marks for the year is the lowest.

 Not good.

 

With growing confidence from last week's performance, expect Demons to authoritatively take on Hawks.

Dees by five goals.

Jackson to surprise with 2 goals.

Weid to kick 3.

We will keep the Hawks to no more than six goals.

Yes, I'm probably partially drunk.  Maybe.

 

Goodwin just said in his pre-match interview that we're expecting Hawthorn to play faster today.

Let's hope he's right and they don't go the Geelong-style slow chip kick game.

Not sure of relevance. We're 13th for marks per game (higher than our opponent today).

Clarkson's MO is to let the 1st qtr unfold see what the op set ups are.  Move chess pieces around at qtr time.  Let 2nd qtr unfold.  Make more moves at half time.

Beware the coach that is not paying attention or is slow to react to Clarkson's moves.

All on our coaching box today.

    I couldn't watch a Melbourne game only partially drunk.

    You know how that goal came about?

    Brayshaw went to sleep on the wing.  His player ran forward, got the ball and then had an eternity to hit Gunston on the chest.

    Not good enough.

    Weiderman needed to clunk that. He looks like Jake Spencer sometimes in contests.

    Never looked like it.

    It's a shame as the effort from Pickett was terrific.

    Oliver’s disposal by foot is atrocious at times. 

    What do you mean at times.


    Oouff. Their pacing and spread is killing us.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
