Melksham is putrid 

He’s the most selfish bloke out there. 

 

Wasn’t expecting this. Good effort but we really need to put the pressure on this quarter. This lead is way too easy for them to overcome.

Thank [censored] they called against cuntington. He is usually given a longer tether than most

To be fair, that’s the first time we have bothered to tackle him today.

 

That is seriously one of the best goals I've ever seen from Kozi in that quarter. Not overly flashy but the work rate was absolutely insane.

And usually dives forward for the "in the back" when he knows he's done.

Jake Melksham has made me nearly put my fist through a window at least 7 times today.

Can't stand the [censored]

He delivered three balls on the chest that quarter. Not had a great game but it's clear he's better forward of centre. He's trying to create.

Much better quarter Melbourne. Worked our socks off and levelled up the contest ball. Gives us a fighting chance. Luke Jackson more than did his job in those centre bounces. Hasnt been a good one from Maxy but a big last quarter will suffice.

Tom McDonald has been good for us since he went back.

Good move by Goodwin there.

Goodwin talks about playing your role and sticking to your structures, but he gives this guy a free ride. The mind boggles.

You and me both.

My North-supporting mate put $100 on them at 14:1. Not looking like a bad investment right now...

Let’s hope we both have no clue what we’re talking about.

His work rate was amazing for that goal. Cyril-esque. Was worried the criticism this past week would have hurt him but he's responded.

First goal super important. We get it and I think they give up and it'll blow out.

Next few weeks it gets tough. The fairy tale was never going to last all season 

We are now being Hunted. 

Speaking of Hunt...he has been totally Mia.

One kick....ZERO tackles.

With Jv out and Oliver having a quiet day it has a huge impact.

Thankyou Fritta and Kozzie and Langdon and Trac.

Anyone know what happened to Brayshaw??

Some half time moves and an increase in work rate and we look a lot better. Great to see the kids in Koz and LJ lead the way. Now surely they dont come back out on their heels thinking its done? Surely...

Melksham’s role is to kick accurately 

He did well that quarter. Helps us get back into the game

Not quite as good, but similar in a way to Farmer's Goal of the Century. Took possession in theback half and gave and received all the way until a goal was scored.


Fully expecting North to come out firing and red hot to win this. 

We are still trash in the clearances. Sort this out and we win. Otherwise this will go down to the wire.

What the hell has happened to Brayshaw?

His helmet is on too tight I think. 

C'mon dees don't lose this one. Jackson got them back in the game Gawn has been putrid. Thank god for Kossie

He's not a mid fielder that's for sure.  High HF kicking inside for the hit ups is about it.  Doesn't pressure without ball and when it's on the ground good luck.  I'm not sure a team can carry that one major asset long term.  Or can they?

Indeed. ?

(I think it's going to take a few good years to get rid of my deeply ingrained pessimism when it comes to the Dees.)

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
