Fierce Moment of the Week

The club has put a video up on Salem bumping Gray as the fierce moment of the week.

Did anyone rate this play?

It was highlighted on Fox Footy as Gray covered 9.7m to get to the ball while Salem was 3.9m away yet Gray gets to the ball first. Amazing play by Gray but I find it strange that we are highlighting this bit of play.

    What else is there to highlight?

    We were that poor I would rather they didn't have one than put forward an unwarranted effort.

    There would have been a few fierce moments in lounge rooms last night.  It's a shame they can't highlight those instead.

    Was it really though? 

    I get the whole "still putting his body on the line when the game was already over" thing, but who kept their feet and came away with the ball after the collision?  Salem. 

    Gray was down on the ground winded.

    Yes, if you listen to Ken Hinkley and look at the intent throughout the game and the result. They wanted it more than us and that's not usually the reason we lose but last night it clearly was.

    It’s a joke right. Salem takes short steps and Gray goes hard. 
     

    By the way, the video - Melbournes goals - is Only 1 minute 15 seconds. That’s how poor it was.

    For a while last night I thought they'd have to release an "All the Goal" video this week.

    I think Lockart's attack on the ball in the first quarter was a lot more fierce.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
