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).

    Meggs was super impressed with Harry Petty tonight, he thought it was the Number 35’s best game in the Red and Blue!

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
