Why is the forward line still dysfunctional by Round 16?

it really is fascinating

I’m not a fan of what Spargo did that’s borderline corruption for it to be paid HTB one minute after Toby. 

 

We're making terrible decisions. May has saved our backsides too many times already.

For the few times we've made it into the forward 50, who's taking the marks? Almost like we could do with somebody tall out there! What's the gameplan here!?

Getting smashed in the centre clearances. Also leave McDonald, fritta or Jackson in the 50 so we have a target. 

This is not top of the ladder football

Yep why do we always tap the ball behind, dominate ruckman and we hit it behind, if we don't win it gives them an easy clearance 

 

Here at the ground. We are nowhere near it. Flat as a tack. GWS will win this by at least 6 goals. Forward line is dysfunctional. Good bye top 4

 


Nibbler, Clarry and Harmes turn it over far too often and we desperately need a tall option in the fwd line.

Fox sports commentary fails to call it a duck

It's disgusting. And to cap it off, with that weasel Greene.

Why is it that we take forever to get going?

Plus our entries into 50 ?. Even a half good Brown would get the ball to ground from which our smalls could rove. FMD, it’s sooooo simples.

We take forever to get it in because we look up and see a midget fleet as our only options inside 50. Appalling non selection. Teams have worked out our game plan and we just stick to the same old stuff 

Stop blaming umpires we are have no idea how to enter the forward line we had enough entries we just waste them.


[censored] our game.  No atmosphere at all

Its pretty strange when the number one team simply cannot come out and smash a team....just ONCE

Of all our 22.. Hibbo makes me most concerned. Very nervous, fumbles and often ball watches.. need Lockhart in 

Despite my pillorying of Eddie over other matters, he is calling this game well.

Goody: Right boys, we really need to fix our mid forward connection so we need to lower our eyes when going forward.

ANB: Are we going to bring a key forward in, Goody?

Goody: We've already got him, mate. You'll be our lead up forward this week.

ANB: ?

3 highest possession winners for the quarter were defendets. Oliver ineffective.

Poorest forward connection for a top team ever. 

Gws system and connection far superior. 

 

This team is starting to remind me of the usual MFC

lost at selection table.

All the talk of defensive forwards is nice but you need to score to win

We look flat everywhere except down back.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
