And people wonder why I can't stand Harmes..

The bloke deadset thinks he's Dusty.

He’s turned into the ANB of years gone by, always present but never doing anything useful

    2 arsey swans goals from blind Melbourne handballs in the last line of defence.
    But we have to start winning it in the centre or we won't win this match.

    McDonald, Hibberd, May, Oliver, Langdon, Jackson all good this quarter.

    The rest have a long way to go.

    Centre clearances as per footywire...six to one against.

    We should be three goals down.

    My goodness.

    Put Jackson in the ruck. Do anything. That is rediculous.

    Our defense from spillages is average. They are getting goals there, not from set shots.

    We need to tighten up on this.


    ❌ poor disposals to turnovers Harmes Trac Oliver Jordon 

    ❌ Maxy 

    ❌ umps (Kozzy being held all quarter)

    ❌ allow Lloyd and Rampe free across backline 

    ✅ accurate goalkicking

    Beat me to it.

     

    Can’t be this bad at clearances and expect to win. 

    Jordon and Harmes getting plenty of it but turning it over with aplomb. Real problems with both of their decision making. 

    Brown’s leading and follow up work better than last week.

    This is true and poor umpiring.


    They’ve mentioned a few times on the coverage we’ve not had intercept marks which is a big key for us.

    Get Kozzie into the middle for a short stint and let's win a few clearances.  Then forward again to do his best work.

    Back again in short stints when needed

    Some terrible kicks, is there something wrong with the ball


    Cant remember Gawn playing 5 bad quarters in a row. Has he had too much bathwater?

    Brown and McDonald starting to work well together in the space of the G. Loving it.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
