Well, some of these comments make it clear who opted for the comfort of the lounge chair last night!

Jordon - 4 qtr contributor

Pickett - excellent solo efforts

Oliver - finds a way

Just had a laugh with my son (who also attended) about having a crisis meeting when we are top of the ladder! My spin is that we just got beaten by two late (dubious free kicks included!) goals by a potential top four team when we have injuries and out of form troops. We can afford to do some creative thinking. This is what we came up with in our morning after analysis.

Jackson plays key forward (BBB to find form with Casey - a bit like last year! M Brown or Weid to the bench)

Majak plays from the bench to give Max a rest when needed ( this could be as low as 45% ground time. Majak won't be embarrassed in the ruck contests!)

Rivers in for Hunt (been steady/consistent but dropped off in the two losses when we were scrambling for backline cover)

May comes in for Tomlinson (or Petty if he is injured). Salem, Harmes & Tomlinson will be better for the run. Hibberd not far away)

We have become too predictable! Time to show we have a few new tricks up our sleeve.

On yesterday's form, too soon for JVR (yes we also watched the entire Casey game). Turner close to a call-up.

Could we try Tomlinson forward?

Can’t be worse than current occupants lately.

Not saying he wasn't good, but there's no va va voom, x factor, call it what you want. I call it vanilla. I'm concerned about our up and coming midfielders.

You have to remember that Sparrow & Jordon are following instructions and playing a role within the team, there role is to help our va va boom, x - factor stars shine. Their time will come just as it has for Harmes.!!!

PREVIEW: Essendon
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.

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.
