ANB is only behind Petracca for score involvements for us.... this one hurts big time he's not easily replaceable

Top 5 (on averages) here are....

1.  Tracc 8.7

2.  Clarry 7.5

3.  ANB (equal third with Dunstan but of course Dunstan's isn't an average) 7.0

4.  Your nickname sake BB 6.3  ; and

5.  Fritta with 5.5

Harmes is just behind Fritta on 5.3

If Dunstan fires up with a similar output to last week i reckon we are well covered here

    Baffles me people still try to put ANB down.

    It betrays one’s knowledge of football.

    ANB hurts most I reckon

    That run is hard to replace and has been critical to our game plan

    And the hitting targets when getting on the end is immense

    If Nibbler was training today then I expect there'll be more outs tomorrow unfortunately..

    Interesting that Melksham was brought in from outside the four emergencies announced yesterday.

    I wonder if one of the four emergencies got it as well as ANB, and Melksham was brought in.

    So atm more than a third of the flag team out. Wow, a win tomorrow would be special.

    Good stats, but his skill execution and overall performance has dipped this year after a stellar 2021.

    At this rate we’re going to have players play tomorrow and then test positive early next week and miss St Kilda.

    I’ll be super impressed if we can win the next two.

    Perhaps stop doing RATs until postgame from now??

    That risks next week against St Kilda… odd few weeks coming up I think

    Wondering if we would have been better fared bringing in Baker to cover ANB's role instead of Melk??  Although Melk is probably better at that kick coming inside .... oh well.

    From memory Melksham played the Hawthorn game early last year and was looking very dangerous

    He and Langdon kicked 3 in the earlier Hawthorn game last year.

    Can someone explain to me when are they gonna get rid of all these H&S stuff? Surely with player triple or even 4th jabbed and most of them already caught the disease it's just around the corner.

    I worry multiple games missed, like the flu this disease can present again throughout the year.

    What difference does it make? He has COVID after he most likely developed symptoms this arvo.

    What is becoming increasingly clearer though is that RATs and daily testing using RATs are pointless. The club could have easily avoided an outbreak had the AFL employed PCR testing as the preferred method of testing. 
    understand it’s a bit more logistically challenging, and more expensive but in our case would have probably avoided this mess.

    He's had one fumbly game where his pressure and running was still elite.

    Just provided stats to you to show he's having a big impact this year.

    Seems you're just biased.

    Sad but true, the more the odds are stacking against us, the more comfortable I feel. 57 years of underdog status is hard to shake. 
    Go Dees.

    Day after Queens bday. Someone in the team needs to host a COVID party and bolster immunity for the remainder of the season.

    Makes you wonder if any other VIC clubs are going to cop it in the neck like we have.

    Apparently Collingwood’s entire squad (or most of it) had it in the off season. Wonder if they’ll cop a second round of it?

    • 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.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
