GAMEDAY: Rd 03 vs Essendon

Reminds me of last year’s Hawthorn draw. Essendon realise if they scrap and make it messy, we can struggle to get our rhythm. Then they get us on the turnover with quick, deep minimal handling entries. We need to dispose first option and force it forward from the contest. Less Hollywood over-handling, more composure and get it forward with minimal unnecessary handling. Keep missing set shots though and we’re done. Expecting Tracc to dominate second half. 

 

BBB straightens us up and gives us much better structure moving into the forward line.

play him regardless of the week all on his lonesome.

    Weid despite marking it tonight lacks presence and I think no Ben brown is part of our efficiency problem forward

    The problem is BBB always brings the ball to ground. Weed is letting the Essendon defenders mark too often.

     

    Once BBB and Lever are back I’d prefer to leave Weid in the side and let TMac see out his time at Cranbourne. Time to move on…he simply serves no purpose anymore when he can’t hold a mark.

    Do you mean Mcdonald? Mcdonald is getting destroyed. Weid doing what he can. He should have 2-3 goals but hasn't converted.

    Fritsch and Mcdonald have let us down tonight. Kozzi too. Weeds is an easy target.

    Weid doing much better than TMac

    Both Kozzie and Spargo need to pull their finger out. Have not once spotted them at the drop of the ball when we've entered forward 50. Both giving us nothing.

    Yep. Max is struggling, but putting him deep forward with these 2 crumbing the pack is a better strategy than the one we are employing atm.

     

    We have been our own worst enemy, we should be five goals in front and in full control but where not. If we lose the frustration levels will be maxed out. Hopefully we can find our composure make the most of our opportunities and have a good win. 


    Spargo's decision making - horrendous.

    • 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.
