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

What’s your proposal?

Late bump after he kicked

Pretty soft

    Forget Grundy.

    Do whatever it takes to buy a genuine key forward.

    Our forward line is a mess.

    I can’t stand our coaching anymore. Even if we win this, bombing long to small forwards like Spargo, with McGovern on him is bloody madness. Kick it low or wide to space. 

    We don’t adapt to our selected side at all.

    Our handball turnovers must be a world record.

    Our disposal is garbage.

    We are not a shadow of last year’s side the way we are playing.

    Has Petracca had a touch?

    Melksham and May good.

    Jackson better.

    Saad doing damage setting up.

    Carlton ultra defensive, flooding back.

    The big thing to watch is our 2nd half. Do we sit in an 8 point lead? 
     

    Any other top4 team would be smashing the Blues by 10 goals right now.

    My kingdom for a big marking forward.

    (To be fair, both Max and Jacko have taken some great grabs ... but they can't kick straight.)

    Anyone know if Saad or Weitering are injured? Or will they play the game out?

    Jacko has taken a couple of marks and missed both shots but has handballed to them at least 4 times.

    [censored] we miss TMac. 

    We are too easy to defended against without another key forward, out numbered always at marking contests inside F50.

    Saad definitely looks sore - maybe ribs or something.

    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 

    Disagree, the way our forward line is playing & our kicking for goal Carlton will be in this to the end

    They have 2 class forwards that can win the game off their own boot, we have Ben Brown😂

    Saad looked very sore after a contest or two after he came back on. Probing around his tummy and side. Not sure re Weitering.

    The blues are applying some strong pressure. They are a good side.

    Will they Fold?

    I so hope so.

    Unimaginative footy!!! Same ole, same ole. 
     

    It’s like the term “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different  result”. Our win/loss in the last 10 weeks is less than 50%. Oppositions are working us out.

    I get the game style is not completely broken, but make the opposition question or think we may change things up on occasion. Switch the ball…… stop running forward up the line and get some  spread. The midfield all run one way together forward…. We  do not have a crash and bash strong tall forward.

    We have Melksham (playing well), Fritta and Brown who can lead if we only, on occasion spread it wide, and let them lead and mark. It’s better than relying on rucks marking and kicking behinds.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
