Top game from TMac, how do we bring Weid and Brown in next week? We need to be mindful not to go too tall, boy we’ve got some forward options!

Despite 3 goals melk makes way.

We play 4 talls with lj rucking with max dropping down back.

Viney is a man of steel, talk about hardnut.  Hit it the gonads. Then comes out and plays strong in the second half

Turned it up to 11 in that last quarter!

We have won 4 in a row against Hawthorn. How the tables have turned.

Now how do we fit Tom Mac, Weideman, Ben Brown, Mitch Brown, Jackson and Fritsch in the forward line?   ;)

I’d happily play B. Brown, Weideman, McDonald and Fritsch together.

That is how good teams win games of footy.

Easily, no favourites, please.

T McDonald goes to the wing. 

Hmm looks like a good win in the end I have not seen a frame of the game. Been at family function sneaking a look at the scores on my phone. Looks like a good Sunday night viewing ahead.

 

It depends on next week. But the last time Melbourne was 6-0 was 1965. That was the year Norm Smith was sacked after winning the Premiership in 1964, Ron Barassi had gone to Carlton, and the rest is all sad history ...

Melksham won’t get dropped after today

Hawthorn choked the game up a bit in the first 3 quarters but then the flood gates opened up!

Good win in the end.

Exactly. They were never going to sustain that. In the game thread many nervous Nellie's lamenting the way we were playing but was always going to happen.

You don't change it. B Brown could do with another run at Casey and Fritta will not be back for a few weeks. Give the Weid a chance when someone fails until then steady as she goes.

Easy 50 point win as predicted

You are right, but from what I saw on tv he was unsighted for most of the game.  Then again I only see what they show in the frame.   Same with Brown for 3 qtrs, unsighted with no impact. 

It good to have options and pressure internally....

 

Did we win!!!!????.......

You are correct he doesn't get dropped when he is crap for weeks on end why now?

WOW best last quarter of footy I have seen from us in a very LOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGGGG  TIME

GO DEES.

- Hunt is officially back
- Jackson's best game for the year
- River's best game of the year too
- Hibberd with plenty left in the tank, correct call to bring him in over Jetta
- Weid is a must in next week
- Jones is cooked, and should be dropped off the back of that, will be interesting to see what happens

Don’t think it’s fair to label Jones as “cooked”. But next week is huge and we need our best 22, and on today’s performance I’m not so sure he’s in that team. 

I wasn’t convinced at the start of the year but I’m definitely convinced now that there’s room for TMac in the side even once Weid and B.Brown are in. It’ll be smalls such as Jones to make way. 

Interesting conundrum once Fritsch, B.Brown, TMac and Weid are all available, but Goody will want to try and make it work given the quality and characteristics of the individual players.

Nope! Melksham gets a hard time here for his defensive efforts but if you kick 3 and assist 3 you stay. Also had a run in the midfield which was good.

No its a dream RN we will wake up shortly.

Save yourself some pain OD and watch second half only

 

That was the worst game of the year and the best win. I finally believe that we are serious contenders. Not because we played particularly well, but because we found a way to win and when we got on top we really put the foot down. 
The mark of a good team. Finally.

Really don’t think our wingmen need replacing.

  • 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.
