mmmmmmm

I think they have a very good forward structure with Hipwood still to return.

Midfield.. equal

Backline .. we are better

It's when you watch a game like us you realise how well structured our backline defence is. On its day though a dominant midfield can tear it apart.

For a few minutes I was barracking for Collingwood but I came to my senses !!

Yea the Lions are an ave day from us being a real challenge, they good.


edit:

One thing I’ve noticed is they’re very aggressive, something that might challenge us.

Put Brisvegas under serious pressure and I reckon they can be broken. 
They have some very good players, but as a team, something is missing 

 

I think it's about time good old Joey Daniher got weeks for staging.

It's gone well beyond the joke now Joe.

At least the umpires are awake.

Essendon must be hating Joe starting to kick a few.....

A good mate of mine, sure is!!

Cox is reminding me of The Green Hornets offsider Kato ! (who was actually Bruce Lee)

 

Do we have a frees per game stat? Feels like the umps are very much on the front foot at the moment, lots of frees. The arm around in a marking contest is a big one, feels like a big shift to a Netball type approach.


Kruger looks like a good, albeit raw, young player for the Magpies.

Sidebottom squeezes the ball through a random hole like you squeeze a random drunken, naked body through a “random front door while you’re off your face” and then blame it on something else. 

Brisbane are our challengers. Their main chink is they are very heavy set physique wise, much in the mold of Lions 2001 and i reckon they can be outrun with handball overlap.

Not from what I can see. Hate to say it but the Cats are in front of them at this stage. 


Million dollar man Grundy. Zero marks. Not much influence on the game. 

reckon the pies might wanna revisit that mega  deal

Have another beer, Cardsie 😀

Nice little tribute to Chris Bailey there....

💯, their most recent test was last week and they failed miserably. Continuing to to beat up on weaker sides but crumble under real pressure, sounds a lot like Port.


The Primo ads are worse than the Roos and Eagles combined. Mmmmmm

F k n hell “arms out 50 mate”?!

As I said they’re paying this slight arms around the front rule and then randomly a 50. Just all over the shop.

Come on that was a decent bow to draw!

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
