Why not move Trac deep forward with Max, and have Dogga ruck the entire last?

Bring Luke into the game more, give Max a bit of a rest but also big target, and just change it up for Trac to get him going again

The instructions from Noble are to hurt us and make it physical. Some old school coaching when they know they can’t beat you with talent alone. 
 

Im surprised that Norf have lasted this far into the game.

Max needs to work on his kicking for goals again

He looks about 10% - 15% off his usual intensity / sharpness in general tonight

People at the ground. Is it my imagination or are our forwards getting monstered off the ball? As in, illegally? Coz on TV it sure looks like it.

Why do we keep tapping it forward at the center bounce but no player is set up there other than a Norf sweeper?   Pretty dumb stuff

we are missing JV!!!!!!

FMD. When Max runs to the right he kicks to the left every FFFFING time

That works when you kick / punch  through the ball though....lost that so far tonight

In the Neeld years we carried off a mighty victory against top of the ladder Essendon and that's exactly how we did it. Dragged them down to our level and then beat them with experience.

I don't know how to take this game I feel that we haven't been that bad and Norf have been good but they havent given a yelp all year. Maybe where getting ahead of ourselves I know I was.

That quarter it was definitely the case, lots of holds.

I used to say you could never rely on max to win a game for you & you'd never want him to kick to win apremiership, then he had that great finals series,but this season he has gone offskew again

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
