The team can't run. It's the difference between a team that can run and a team that can't.

4 day break.

It's only 24 hours less than what Port had, and we were at least in Queensland last week (they were in Adelaide).

Not sure it's that much of a factor?

Rebuild may be hard when we gave away our top 3 pick in this draft already, and our so clever recruiter thinks he is smarter than he actually is.

I agree. And yet I'm not entirley sure we have a choice. Tough decisions will need to be made. I'e Brayshaw, Viney, Salem. We're stuck with Lever. Work out how to get Josh Kelly to the club and go cap in hand to the AFL to help us lose Goodwin

It's not necessarily about different methods, but it is about how dependent we are on CPs/clearances.

If we can't dominate in the middle, everything else falls apart.

It's not just contested possessions our gameplan relies on workrate. It has been non existent tonight, the players haven't given a yelp

I have seen a lot of spineless performances by Melbourne over the years but make no mistake this game is up there with the best of them.

Peahearted tackles, no running, zero football IQ, crowding around the ball, 4 flying for a mark. 

 

Goodwin, just pack your and bags and go.

 

And as for the umpires you can all [censored] off. I'd go as far to say that they're cheating.

Anyone who is commenting on the umpiring is 100% missing the point. Nothing but a deflection from one of the worst performances we have served up in years.

Why can’t both things be unbearable?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
