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!

As usual, the commentary is [censored]. Apparently only one team on the ground.

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…

Some very soft frees being paid

 

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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
