Featured Replies

lmao they're paying incorrect disposal now.

 

Umps gave us a couple now have gone full GWS must win.

 

Typical Melbourne as favourites performance so far

Absolute joke.

They are useless. They don’t rewrite the rules differently each week


Our kicking for goal is putrid.

 

But the umpiring is worse.

 

They can make all the rule changes they want, but I want to see star midfielders play without being flattened off the play too.

We had our opportunities and didn't capitalise. GWS gifted goals either through umpires or poor defense. A bit more polish and control of the play and things can turn quickly. We are playing right into their hands though.

That number 22 umpire always burns us

Looks like someone put Ken in the microwave 

For me, this is the difference between us and the serious contenders: Oliver had two straightforward shots on goal, Gawn one, Kozzie a fairly straightforward one - not a single goal from any of them. 

On top of that kicking into the forward line. ANB misses Tom MacD by a metre, turnover, up the other end, goal.

Lots of positives, but it's this inability to finish that costs us.

Yep and they have given him 2 chances at goal and he has botched both. 

Put Oliver in the bloody forwards line. 

very ordinary bunch ,seem happy to just show pony ,that means you oliver ,tmac runs under the ball every time,fritter not trying to grab the ball ,shocking

The MFC we all know has turned up thus far ... let’s see if anything has changed 


This commentary is just down right bogan...

When you think warning signs, you think that quarter. 

Ball spends heaps of time in our forward half but inefficiency and missed set shots mean we don’t capitalise. They break fast and score 6 times from 11 inside 50s. 

I do not like the look of this. 

 

Tbere were a lot of back slappers last week when we came back after being challenged let's see if this team really does have the right stuff

I thought we got out coached that quarter, so it will be interesting to see the response. They don’t want to kick it long as we have Lever, May and Gawn behind the play.

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
