I think what we have been talking about in the last few odd pages here are not only the tidy up points under the guises of influence called Yze and Williams, but a real development of players themselves to explore new tactics and learning off opposition.

I reckon they have all spent hours and hours watching replays etc.. long may (no pun) it go on.

    I’m giving him this year, win 2 more games and we play finals 2017 and 2020. Our list is now at its best and fittest in years. As flag favourites he needs to deliver

    Who says we are flag favourites?  Certainly not the bookies and, by extension, not the punters either.

    One thing that I learnt from the Saints match is that the other Jones boy is a very angry young man.

    And only barely AFL standard. Could never understand why so many here wanted him. If he wasn’t bald and called Jones, nobody would have taken a second look.

    You obviously have not watched much of him play throughout his career, he is arguably better than his older brother.  Definitely AFL standard anyway!!

    i'd say he's not better than his older brother, but he is clearly a good, ordinary afl player

    Haha deadset what a load of rubbish. I think it is you that needs to watch more football.

    Zac Jones is not only a [censored] bloke but an ordinary footballer. Tough faux guy that was trying to snipe the young boys in Jordon and Pickett over the weekend.

    He butchers the footy consistently and saints fans hate him. 

    To think that he's better then Nathan is simply laughable.

    Come back when Zak has won 3 club best and fairests.

    I would actually put him and Nathan pretty close in ability.

    The only main difference is we had a bunch of chumps playing for us and Nathan won a few best and fairests, while Zac was surrounded by a much stronger Sydney team.

    Nathan Jones would not have won ANY best and fairests had he played in the same Sydney teams.

    i saw Zac trying to lift his team by trying to get physical. (Nothing wrong with that)

    Was not having a shot at either of the Jones boys though, was simply stating that Zac is AFL standard and the difference between their abilities is not huge.

    Either way each to their own opinions, it was just an offhand comment but i stand by it.   Both are better than average players but neither are stars.

    Agree totally...  never saw the fuss about him.  Average player at best.

    are we at a point now that we can concede that Dr. was correct saying that Jackson isn't a natural forward? He's now kicked 3 goals in 8 games playing solely fwd with brief stints in the ruck. 

    (For the record, Logan Mcdonald has kicked 5 in 2 games)

    Thought he looked much better up forward last night. Can easily see him playing up forward effectively, can you yet?

    While he looked okay up forward, he did his best work last night when he was in the ruck and around the ground. 

    His 2nd efforts and how clean he is below knees is ridiculously good.

    Agreed, I just thought he looked better at the very least

    • 2 weeks later...

    I just watched this game again to confirm some things. 
     

    Saints pressure was excellent in the first half, I’d say not far off their 2nd half v West Coast. Seeing how WC crumbled and we ate it and walked through it gives me confidence. 
     

    5 dropped marks and easy misses stopped us beating them by 10 goals, we all knew that at the time, but Essendon beat them by 10 goals with the worst pressure seen nearly ever. 
     

    West Coast look a much more gettable I f we keep up the same pressure we have in the first 4 rounds, they don’t like it. 
     

    Conclusion. We’re dealing with and applying pressure better than ever before. To my eye we’re applying it longer than the majority of teams and it’s key to our success.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
