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.


Great win by the Eagles. Saints in some bother now.

Dean Kent 2 disposals for the whole game...

Who wanted him back again???

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.

It never ends. It’s a life thing.


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*

I refuse to answer such a hypothetical question ?

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.

I think the real question is why can’t we instead of could we

 

Congrats on Gus' brother getting his first game for WCE. Its been a long road for him. Well done young man

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
