Wow, Daniher out will change our defensive plans, but maybe effect the Lions more.

Their advantage was the talls.

We are flexible with our ability for all the backs to play either small,  medium or tall.

Daniher out, this is the kind of massive fillip that the team needs. Lions a huge chance now.

I would really like it to NOT be close. A win with minimal effort would be much better. 

Yeah keep the pretence about "flicking the switch " going as long as possible

His partner just went into labour. 

Daniher out because his partner has gone into labor and he wants to be by her side. Noble as a partner, but gosh if it was a main Melbourne man i wouldn't be overly happy.

 

Lions have gone from imv being 'too tall' in the round 23 game to not tall enough this time, without Oscar Mc and Daniher.

Certainly makes for a different game to the last few between the two teams..

They still control the reigns on game day. Now the squad is selected the aspects of going in unchanged is irrelevant. 

Would prefer them to make actions then sit on their hands (which they have done in the past), if Brissy starts taking control or we need to get rolling.

You want them to be non proactive or reactive?

Maybe you misinterpreted my intentions, or you are holding onto something about the coaches?  

In style, the tempo, take it on, play percentages, 

In structure, extra players at the contest, or in defence,  push up the field from defense, crowd the ball, play one on one.

I could keep going, I hope you get my gist.

The coaches have to make quick decisions during the game and not just let it roll on. 

 

Fair enough ,if Goodwin suddenly becomes a game day coach it would help for sure.

We heard it was Max who made the winning move last yeat

Bad timing, what a decision to make.

Well done to Daniher to focus on nurturing his family. They have strong family bonds.

The hero from last week is out, wonder how that changes them structurally?

I'm with you here. They now go in smaller and we seem to have a bit of trouble with the small forwards other than Hibbo keeping Cameron quiet. Need to change our mindset in the backs now. Daniher against the likes of May is a liability. Prefer him to play but we still need to win in the guts and away we go.

But they don't go in small.

Fullerton is legitimate the same height as Daniher.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • 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.
