GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Carlton

BBB is contesting and getting to where he needs to.

But the strength of his contests has been poor. No explosion and one arm contests do not make for good forward craft.

Melky is looking great. Remember a few years ago that he got the highest SuperCoach score recorded against Carlton? Good times.

    Forget Grundy.

    Do whatever it takes to buy a genuine key forward.

    Our forward line is a mess.

    I love BB but ffs the one hand up stuff in a marking contest is not good enough

    100% bank the cash and make a huge play for one of these Blues boys

    Every time Saad gets the ball, we need to absolutely smash him, even if it means a free or two. he's so soft and it really seems to rattle him

    Did anyone see what the free

     down the ground that resulted in frittata goal was for. Did not see it here at the ground. And it’s bloody cold freezings 


    What happened to 2021 Melbourne?

    We would have to be the worst in the league at getting back of the man on the mark and being the slowest to move the ball from a mark. Not many players would get a pass mark at this stage but where in front and hopefully find something in the second half.

    The 1 key forward set up simply doesn't work. Why we have continued to run with this set up is mind boggling.

    The move the ball as slow as possible kick to him out numbered 3 to 1 tactic isn't helping

    Commentators gloating over a "great tight contest". I reckon it has been horrible to watch. Tacklefest, followed by Dees bombing it into the forward line with BBB attempting to mark with 1 hand, followed by more tackling, Blues kick a horrible blind ball to half forward, Dees intercept... rinse and repeat.

    Well done Melksham. Pittonet is a dill. We are a better team but need to CAPITALISE.

    Why was that “a gift” for fritta, he marked it anyway… 

    much happier about this game than the Collingwood and dogs games, blues without their stars are clearly playing as many tagging/negating roles as possible. 

    They won’t be able to keep it up the whole game. I think we will break away and win by 40+ keeping the blues to under 50 points

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
