Never completely place your trust in Melbourne. Not now. Not ever.

I still think we’ll win but Jesus we need about ten players to pull their finger out to pull this off.

 

Just when you think you can trust them..

Fmd Melbourne.

    [censored] ****house they are bathwater [censored] can't be trusted. Gawn has been putrid. Cunnington and Goldstein tearing us apart.

     

    Brown looks a mile off. Not sure our forwardline is mobile enough with him in.. and when was the news broken about Tom McDonald being a late out?

    All the positive indicators of this game that makes me nervous. The word ‘upset’ was invented for these kind of games. All other sides have produced a shocker this season except us. 

    Bump


    Well i guess the fans who backed against the Dees as insurance have the consolation of some winnings. And whoever backed North to win by 40 will be [censored] all over themselves

     

    Is something wrong with Gawn?? He looks like Jake Spenser our there

    T Mac HAS to go to defence and free up Lever

    I'm not watching and I don't want to follow the game via this thread as I've learnt over the years it's always extremely negative.

    But a quick look at the score and stats tells me all I really need to know.

    North's only kicked two scores higher than this in their first six games, and it's only half time. They've won both quarters despite having only won six quarters across their first six games. They have the top five possession getters and 8 of the top 11. They're on top in CPs and clearances, they're +21 in uncontested marks, they're +7 in inside 50s, and they've taken 9 marks inside 50 to our 2.

    This screams workrate. Not winning it inside, not stopping them spreading it outside, therefore not getting it in our forward half.

    Again, I haven't watched a second of footage, but I'm sure this is Cairns 2020-esque.

    Im very critical of Goodwin but this is purely about our midfielders not working hard enough. Oliver and Brayshaw need to lift a lot.

    Do we have a winner on the ground? Kozzie doing his big bit can’t think of another 

    Ed's been good.  Spargo not too bad in patches. LJ good also.  Has Tmac had a possession? 

    The rest are asleep at the wheel.  That kick from Tracc running into an open goal and instead goes short straight to a Norf player in the pocket.  I've been saying all year...sort that shiiit out!  Go for goal when all options look covered.  Its costing us so many potential goals after alot of hard work only to see the ball turned over or rushed for a point.

    Loss of Viney pre game (oh to have named Sparrow as an emergency) and Tomlimson a few mins in has rooted our structure. Add to that our sharpness and effort being off we are in strife. Big big lift needed in 2nd half.

    Worst half of footy we have payed for the season. 
     

    Melk should play in Casey for a fair few games from next week.

    Hibberd to cunnington. Kozzie in the middle, petracca fwd

     

    I'd like to at least see that

     

    Cunnington getting 400 possessions every time we play them is infuriating

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
