Viney needs to be commended for his defensive job on Wines, he was basically a non factor. Viney offence stuff will come.

 

Limited Wines at the contest but he had 33. Viney has to get his spread running back and has to do something that resembles AFL footy with the ball otherwise we won’t get far.

The combination with Harmes is particularly concerning. 

Both absolutely butchering it.

    Absolute music to my ears. We have a ripper.

    Viney was better today than the last two weeks in getting and using the ball. Still missed some targets but he was at least lowering the eyes and looking to hit lead up targets.

    Harmes, though. Not a great game IMO.

    Gawn confirming they did a block of hard training around the bye. 

    But said it wasn't a factor in their form slump

    My theory about that earlier today seems to have some merit. Hopefully it proves dividends towards the end of the year.

    Won against some of the worst umpiring I've seen this year. By the way where's Dr. I'm always right?

    That has to be win of the season. Petty was amazing, backs were so solid, mids were methodical and forwards kicked what they should.

    Wines may have had 30, but every single one was under extreme pressure. I reckon Viney was very good tonight.

    Our players worked so hard to give it to Viney who was in a better position only for Viney to throw it on the boot as quick as possible across his body. It was probably my only standout negative for the night.

    I actually think the doppy aholes started playing the Port song then went I [censored] we didn’t win quick change it.  Idiots. 

    I thought that’s what happened! Then I thought nah, surely not. But yeah, they defs played maybe a couple of seconds of it. I’m glad you mentioned it coz I thought it was just me getting old. ?

    To be fair to Viney, Wines did have 33 but only 5 clearances (Oliver 11, Boak 8, Petracca 7 by comparison) and only 375 metres gained (we had six players with more than that).

    @A F Viney 88% TOG tonight.

    We clearly set ourselves for this game, didn't we? JJ back up to 75% too, and this week it was time for Rivers, Spargo and Jackson to play limited minutes.

    A lot of it is still between the ears for our players. 
     

    Against the top teams we are switched on but against lower teams we seem to struggle to be switched on but it’s something we can work on prior to the end of the season.

    I loved it but i thought that we have had better wins

    Bulldogs, Brisbane, Swans were all better wins imo (in that order).

    He went at about 44% disposal efficiency.  Thought he was a liability in the first half, slightly better in the second.

    Harmes fumbled about everything!

    Would you seriously have expected him to say anything else (ie it wasn't a factor).

    Explains the pressure drop you highlighted does it not?

    They waited for Dixon to take his kick.  Then they played it.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
