Dogs could not have had a better quarter, remain calm.

Really. They could have kicked 10

    I felt it didn’t look like a Melbourne game the first qtr. We got a few flukey goals and a couple from first half turn overs, we didn’t get too many through our conventional method which was a worry.

     

    Our kicking for goal has been crap again - Dogs got a couple of lucky ones in comparison.

    Gawns shot looked a goal. We  must have had a crap camera angle.

    Petracca , Salem , Max , Brayshaw trying their hearts out.

    Why Does our defense all of a sudden look so fickle?

    Gee May is a liability, not flying for the ball, caught well behind, fumbling the ball. 

    That fumble in the first quarter was a shocker too. He doesn't look right at all.

    Why didn't we even see a review of that? It looked like a goal on the broadcast. Very confusing.

    I jumped off the couch when he kicked it looked like it went straight through. Gawny thought it was a goal.

    Fritsch has been poor the whole finals series. His kicking inside 50 has been shaky, keeps trying a kick running parallel to the goals and has missed it multiple times.

    Seriously? He kicked 6 goals in the first two games of the finals series. He was poor this quarter but to say that he's been poor the whole finals series is just wrong.

    The Melbourne of 2021 turns it around and regains control this quarter. But Grand Finals are different. It is definitely the Dogs' game to lose at this point.

    May carrying his injury? Whatever it is, he isn't himself.

    Can't let Bont mark uncontested, surely someone can get a fist on the ball

    Petty is our only tall defender, May looks injured and Lever has been really scrappy. Also, we don't have Smith as an emergency to cover May. TMc hasn't fired a shot up forward. If May can't play we need to get him off, move TMc forward and put JJ on the tag.

    Huge effort needed from here

    we got ambushed in that 2nd Quarter

    I feel sick right now. I'm scared to see what happens next, especially if the Dogs get the first goal in Q3.

    It’s all on the line this quarter 

    Have we got the balls for it ?

    How was the pie?

    But yes. Premiership quarter coming up. Carn Dees


    Need some Kozzie magic

     

    Our wings have been ordinary

    Our fwds are struggling

    Our defence is in complete disarray

    Our mids are missing

    Grounds balls are being won by the dogs

    Viney and harmes need to clamp someone.  TMac WTF?

    Goodwin has an opportunity to show the world what he made of. 

     

    Our leaders need to lead

    We missed some great opportunities in the first quarter too, that really burns.

     

    It should be easy to stop Bont. He is setting up space to run into to mark. Just need to block it.

    I feel like we are doing nothing to counter the Schache tag. What should happen is May should line Schache up and run right through him at the start of Q3. Make him think twice

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
