Need to stop trying to break tackles

    We can play much better, whether Geelong can is another question

    Back to basics

    We got away with breaking through tackles against brissy but it's not the go tonight 

    Will the umps keep it consistent and pay the tackles the other way?

    Gee our backline has the wobbles at the moment.


    They’re smashing us on rebound. Their kicking skills are good. We’re holding up fine in the air, but once it’s on the ground or running we’re struggling. Missing Hunt or Rivers to lock down more on those types of attacks. Hibberd is ok, but Bowey and Salem aren’t great at defending. They’re both offensive options.

    Are we playing who can hold the ball the longest?

    get rid of it on the first option. May might as well have not played at this point. 
     

     

    We need to take the first option, not fend off Hollywood style and get caught....how many times this quarter?

    Rough after one contest that suited the bigger guy. Let’s see Tuohy get him if Bedford gets it in space.

    Cats are experienced and strong bodied  team. Need to stop trying to break tackles and take Hollywood options. Back to basics, first option football when the pressure is on.

    Steven May is genuinely killing us!

    How about more time focusing on your game Maysey and less time spraying other blokes.

    Thought viney had learnt but alas let's take everyone on again, same with harmes.

    This is how Geelong have such a good home ground advantage. We seem so confused with the lack of space on wings. Everything is compressed and we can't play our regular game style.

    Went to ground and cost a goal earlier in the quarter. He was good against Brisbane, but wasn’t great last week and was close to worst on ground that first quarter. He’ll need to lift or he’ll be dropped again.

    Bit harsh

    Bedford 69kg v Touhy 91kg

    not sure he will win any body on body contest if he stays on him. Let’s see how he goes for the rest of the game?


    Why are our players falling over? Seen at least 10 times our player has fallen over. Cats staying on their feet.

    1st quarter 

    stupidity abounds.  Harmes May Oliver Viney. Take the first option. Turned into trouble. Fended tackler ??! This is not v the Kangas.   Not sharp.  Lucky to be even.

    Bowey.  Ummm. Hmmmm.
     
    Trac 😄

    Twice Bedford getting caught out in a marking contest with a bigger player that quarter. What goes on there?

    Playing a small forward line has this consequence

    Really wish we brought one of Hunt/Rivers in.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
