    I’d like to see Bedford come in for Kozzy this week… he’s earned his chance and Kozzy needs a break in the VFL; hopefully he’ll also take a break from believing the hype.

    Not sure his earnt his chance? Hasn't kicked a goal in his past 2 VFL games and only had 9 disposal last week and was barely sighted.

    And Weideman is a high half forward, but you seem to have no problem with him being a Full Forward in the AFL side. 

    Is this your thing now? Trying to troll me by misrepresenting things I've said?

    Here's some facts for you slugger.

    Hahhaha. As opposed to facepalm emojing everyone’s posts and not really want to engage in constructive debate. I’m still waiting on the lesson on social media business marketing ??

    Bowey could come in if the Match Committee decided to persist with Hunt in the forward line in Pickett's place. 

    Not sure the Hunt forward experiment was a winner on the weekend tbh. I would think he goes back again this week IMO.

    Hunt’s the most accurate set shot for goal at the club.

    He should stay forward and BBB and Melksham should come in to sort out our disastrous set shots for goal that have plagued us for most of the year.

    Reckon his sample size is a bit small to be saying he's the best set shot, and his lack of awareness against GWS when forward will mean he'll go back to where he's found his niche IMO. I'm not totally against the idea, just for mine it doesn't seem that likely.

    Definitely keen on Brown and Melksham coming in, but might not make a huge difference if we keep going slow around the boundary. That's the main tweak needed for me, centre clearances will help that potentially too.

    What 3 forwards do you have coming out to have all of Hunt, Brown and Melksham in there?

    According to the stats I can find on Stats Insider, that's not actually correct. Not even in our top 5.

    Stats Insider has data on all set shots from Round 1 2018 to Round 6 2021. I've gone through and here are all the players on our list who have a set shot accuracy of at least 50% (minimum 10 shots in the time period):

    1. Daw - 71% (14 set shots)
    2. TMac - 63% (104 shots)
    3. Jones - 63% (19 shots)
    4. B Brown - 61% (178 shots)
    5. M Brown - 60% (52 shots)
    6. ANB - 59% (32 shots)
    7. Hunt - 57% (35 shots)
    8. Weideman - 56% (55 shots)
    9. Petty - 55% (11 shots)
    10. Gawn - 52% (42 shots)
    11. Fritsch - 51% (92 shots)
    12. Melksham - 51% (65 shots)
    13. Tomlinson - 50% (18 shots)

    And then below 50%:

    1. Brayshaw - 48% (27 set shots)
    2. Spargo - 44% (18 shots)
    3. Petracca - 42% (60 shots)
    4. Harmes - 41% (29 shots)
    5. Langdon - 36% (28 shots)
    6. Viney - 36% (11 shots)
    7. Pickett - 36% (14 shots)
    8. Oliver - 24% (25 shots)

     Oliver, Pickett and Petracca kill us..Wow its like our whole midfield can't kick. Gawn is better than the lot of them

     

    I thought Spargo was better than that. Didn't he kick 8g 1b last year?

    But all three have kicked well earlier in the year We need a refresh on the things that hit us to Top earlier in the year.

    We have become defensive complacent and let our standards slip.

    Spargo's 60% from snaps but only 44% from set shots. And the data does go back to 2018.

    But you're right, last year he kicked 8.1, with the only miss being a set shot.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
