Tmac is so close to the 200 game milestone in the seniors he will be itching to get back.

we've locked em to push wide and long to contests in the same way our afl side does

when it works, our system is brilliant and clearly well-drilled by the footy dept and implemented by players across all levels

 

It’s good to have TMac get some confidence. He has been well down for a long while and he needs to start believing that he still can perform at the top level. He has looked down on himself and letting his frustrations get the better of him. 
Ben Brown spent time in the VFL last year and came back a different player. 
This is not the end for Tmac. It’s a reset. 


That wasn’t a genuine marking attempt by Lofau. Dangerous, stupid, reportable and should be suspended. 

Casey’s undefeated run continues after a bruising game against Richmond.

Agreed, was surprised it wasn’t called out by the commentary

Baker BOG for mine. Lots of contributors tho. 


Bakes been unlucky to miss out, must be next cab off the rank.

Would have to be looked at closely.  Initially I think he was going for the ball and then finding himself out of position barrelled into our blokes.  Surely at least a free for an unrealistic attempt at least.  .

Wasn’t going to be anything else 😃


It was mentioned that Matt Buntine is due back soon after suffering a calf injury.

I know many posters have been wondering why he hasn't made an appearance yet.

van Roo has some wheels

He's going to be another Jackson - everything, including consistency - points in that direction but he will be a gun forward in that process.

I  thought Chandler was more consistent over 4 quarters so I would go Chandler, baker, Rosman and Milkshake of the MFC boys

Surprised he didn't get an offer from another club during the trade period but I don't see him dislodging Jordon in the pecking order.


Liked what I saw of Rosman today.

Mitch White - easily our best player, sadly body didn’t hold up to afl work loads.

T Mc - found space a few times but couldn’t clunk any when defended, his decision making with the pill is still odd and he keeps barreling umpires.

Rosman - loves a kick out and handball receive. Stronger in the air than expected. Still very suspect with ground ball contests. Something to work with though.

Baker - a class above racking them up at half back, some ok defensive moments but mostly sweeping. Not exactly afl footy.

Chandler - has his good moments but his handballs are fumbly and he can’t escape traffic.

Melksham - lots of lazy high contact free kicks and iffy decision making. Otherwise good.

Daw and Brown - fine.

Deak Smith - some very strong defensive efforts and good aerially but a few mistakes, still one to watch. Put the clamps on Stack 

JVR - are we Sauntner-ing him by playing 2 mature talls and 2 rucks? He relegated to flank duty.

Ellison - solid as a rock, has he got room to develop?

Tugboat Tomlinson - commentators raved about his first half racking stats but he wasn’t that good. Not sure he has full confidence in the knee 

Laurie - he’s classy. But he struggles to win it in tight and he’s just slow. Sadly doesn’t look like an AFL level athlete at this stage

AMW - does a bit of everything. Worth watching.

The Shep mates kid - has talent and competes. Got to see more.

I don't know if I want to see Buntine back will stifle the progress of Ellison who looks the goods. Could be on the radar to be drafted. Big bodied key backs are hard to find. I thought Melksham was BOG the rest played pretty good footy. Will Woewodin be out with concussion next week?

Possible team next week

B: Hibberd, Buntine, J.Smith

HB: Baker, Tomlinson, Rosman

C: Melksham, Dunstan, McVee

HF: Laurie, van Rooyen, Chandler

F: M.Brown, McDonald, Bedford

FOLL: Daw, White, Munro

IC: D.Smith, Moniz-Wakefield, Ellison, Grey, Steele

Excellent summation DeeSpencer. People are overrating the games of Baker and Rosman by looking at their stats. There was plenty of stat padding by these 2 from kick-outs which I found annoying. At AFL level, May roosts it long to contest, yet at times Baker was calling for the short 15m kick to the back pocket. Baker will be a good VFL player, whilst Rosman is still a work in progress.

The experienced players impacted the game, whilst the youngsters had their brief moments. I wish it was the other way around. Would love to see Laurie play a consistent 4 quarter game.

Shepherd and Steele look very promising.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
