Besides Ryan and Kelly, anyone else think that looked more like rugby? Great win WCE. Dees, Giants, Saints choking it up

    Extraordinarily poor loss by St Kilda.

    Were gifted the win at the selection table with all those West Coast outs, AND McGovern pulling a hammy before half time.

    St Kilda, Essendon and Melbourne kind of remind me of each other.

    Clean players that can kick and a ruck that hits the ball to dangerous spots, that was the difference

    Great pressure goal by Kennedy in the last quarter. Can't help but like him. Honest no bull****e old fashioned full forward- should get more accolades than he does.

    Fantastic result for our #Bradbury2020 plan. If Saints lose to GWS after we beat them then we’ll take their spot.

    Yes i don’t understand why Max can’t play the same way. Can’t these guys work out set plays during the week. 
    I don’t understand Training at all anymore,  so much theory now.

    Credit where credit is due. The resilience and work ethic of the eagles is something MFC must learn and develop ge I admire them. With so  many injuries and lose McGovern early headed by the saints and they fight back. That is the culture I want to see at Melbourne.

    Nic Nat threatens to take the ball and kick it.

    Makes it much harder to predict and defend. Gives their mids just that little more space

    Gawn in the ruck tends to be traditional and predictable.

    Jackson rucks Nic Nat style so fingers crossed

    A question.

    If we were missing the equivalent players that WC were tonight, could we have produced a come from behind win in ****ty conditions, in a clutch game?

    Mids coach: now gather round and we'll work through some scenarios. Now pretend I'm Max, and say I tap the ball to--

    Viney: Ball? Someone say ball? GIVE ME BALL (he dives on the ball)

    Oliver: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Harmes: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Viney: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Jones: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Brayshaw: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Mids coach: *sigh*

    Not necessarily,  there is currently a 57 point differential in our percentage. Depending on how much Gws beat them we'd need to win both games by around 9 goals  combined currently.

    Surely the money has to be a dead-eye 55m Daniher bomb after the siren relegating us to 9th after we knock GWS off by 15 goals Sat night.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if we could somehow draft a player like Kelly with a pick in the twenties.

    How far off is our list compared to West Coast, they have a heap of good players on the injury list but I still think they would thrash us.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
