He’s not on his Pat Malone mate. 

Exactly. But he is a current captain out there.

He just [censored] balance out in the midfield. Get him out of there and get Petracca in there.

No one is on him. 

He is a smart footballer.  They just showed Libba flicking him a handpass on the outside - Sparrow got sucked in to the contest, which we do way too often.  The bloke knows where to position himself and we need to be better in this regard.

73/27% time in forward half. Losing CPs, closing clearances.

This is not how we want to play (Goodwin said before the game we want it to be in our forward half, Mahony just now in an interview said it's not how we want to play).

That's this teams biggest problem. We don't know what to do when the game is not played on our terms.

Get the ball out wider once we gain possession and play a shorter kicking game where possible with this fickle breeze

Viney needs to start having some awareness and do the team thing

Quit taking on every single bloke 

Viney has no pace and can't hit a target so please go in hard and then give it off

We are putting zero pressure on them in our forward half. 

hope AVB gives the team a lesson how to pressure and tackle at Q time

I accidentally read that as ANB and it takes on a different meaning.

FRITSCH = SOFT

Yep, seems afraid of his own shadow. Does nothing most games, except a few behinds before snagging one late. 
 

But who do you bring in?

Great pick up from Hannan, and super finish from Weideman in the conditions.  Love the confidence to kick it!

6 inside 50s for 5 scores.  At least we are being efficient.

Hannan you legend.

Can't argue with this guy's attack on the ball.

Downfield was a joke. Ball had not even touched the boot.

Just had to check the AFL rules to make sure I wasn't mistaken. They say the free kick can be awarded where the incident take place or where the ball is. Considering they were both the same spot it shows that the umpire literally didn't know the rule. For me that's worse than most regular mistakes

Well done Hannan

I wish they would stop calling Pruess a makeshift ruckman

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
