Not having another mid sized marking forward on the list is an oversight. 
 

Not counting the super collectors in Melk and Brown 

 

We look very casual so far, reckon we'll play 1-2 hard quarters for the night and that will do it.

    Hey! Settle down! It’s 1/4 time in a PRACTICE match! 
    Carlton have much to prove. We have zero.

    Am I watching the same game as you blokes we had almost double the inside 50s and got unlucky a few times they aren’t even close to on top. 

    Except on the score board but that doesn’t really count in the wash up.

    agree but we are getting well beaten in the forward half and not allowing time for our defence to set up.

    Goal or slow it down that is what is forward line play.

    Last week we barely kicked a goal from broken forward line play

    If the new interpretations are anything to go by scrap them. The umpires have killed us.

    Why scrap them? They are good changes.  Speed the game up and stop backchatting the umpires

    The team must have missed all the AFL memos this week about the focus on time wasting, umpire abuse etc!

    Blues look fit, some structure and good at the fall of the ball.

    Good challenge to get us up for rnd 1 with a lot out of our the backline. 


    Que Goodwin thread....

    So far, a very ordinary performance. I can accept we can be out played on occasions. What l can’t accept is ill discipline and just plain stupidity.  We were out played in that quarter, but gave away two goals through unbelievable idiocy, from Viney and then HARMES. That is just unacceptable. 

    The other question l would ask is what happened to our legendary pressure. Almost non existent. I suspect a GF hangover, but l fear complacency. 
     

    they all should be getting a giant rocket from goody after that!

    Clayton unbelievably lazy and disinterested. 

    He can play footy. I don’t need him to prove it in a meaningless game and get injured.

    We look pretty sloppy and slow...

    Seriously the lack of discipline is very disappointing

    The 2nd string backline is not passing the audition at this stage I'm afraid…

    4 x 50m penalties as we slip to 29 points behind.
    How much of a lead are we giving them?

    Backline is a hot mess. No surprise. 

    I see this as a really useful hitout for selectors  and 2nd string defence to see who puts their hand up for limited opportunities in 2022 in the dees defence.

    Apart from that just get the cue in the rack for key players early as possible.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
