Need more from Spargo and Pickett, much better quarter though.

Goody should be in their ears at HT, telling them to put the first half behind them and concentrate on manic pressure than posies this half.

VDB needs to start hitting bodies hard, give us some more presence around the ground

 

I think after today’s game it’s time to rest Pickett and bring in Bennell to play small forward. Pickett doesn’t give us enough.

    Is Tracca being tagged? Need a big second half from him.

    I can't see the game today and just saw the stats esp midfield . Can someone please explain how on earth we are ahead?????

    1 Steven May.

    2. When we do get it on the turn or a clear stoppage win we look likely to score.

    The club should putting orders in for 2021?

    Hunter has to be stopped. I think Jones would have had the job on him today. Maybe give Sparrow that role and just tell him not to move off Hunter.

    Clear improvement that quarter. The ball spent far more time in our forward half and we were developing more scoring chains.

    But we're still not playing all that well. Missing kicks, tackles not sticking, and their best players are getting too much of the ball.

    Beveridge in his HT interview was scathing of English. They've clearly put a lot of effort into the ruck and stoppages, whether it's the tactic of using Dunkley or how they shark Preuss.

    Once the clearances evened up that quarter, we comfortably had their measure. Dogs have an elite midfield so have to break even in this second half. In the arcs, Melbourne is clearly superior.

    He was very close to two crumbing goals in the first quarter.

    I feel like so much of Pickett is "very close". Every game he looks like he might erupt but never seems to happen.

    Not sure Bennell can play that role. Speed and defensive pressure regrettably not Bennell's strong suits so far this year.

    I can't stress just how bad Tmac is 

    We simply can't play him next week

    I don't care who it is as long as it's not him

    Tmac is done - the coaches have to see it surely 

    He has trouble one-grab marking, field kicking (set shots are good), very slow, wide turning circle, not a natural tackler, his handpassing is far from elite and his ruck work is average.  I hope he is not soaking up too much of our salary cap.

    I think Tmac is playing a really good team game. He is providing a contest all over the groun d as well as holding his own in the ruck. So be fair.

    This goig to be a context between how effective Viney is cf Liberatore. Viney is at last breaking out of packs rather than running in circles. AN extremely tight contest.

    He's not far away. Will be back for the Freo game, potentially the Swans one.

    He has to hit the scoreboard when the opportunities come up. He had two chances early and muffed them both

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
