    Petracca a liability todayĀ 

    yeah having a barry crocker so far but he will lift


    Just now, leave it to deever said:

    We actually won the clearances in the 2nd but got smashed with our ball use.

    Sparrow's the one for me in the middle that needs to get going.

    Jv looks a little off, agreed.

    Yes forgot about Sparrow.Ā  His reaction time looks pedestrian against the best clubs at times under heat.

    Needs to speed things up and drive those legs out of congestion more.

    Not sure Petty forward is working. Our key talls look a bit lost and we usually play the 3 key backs.

    ...

    Petty needs a block of games to see if he can settle in.Ā  Switching him back now is pointless as you're admitting defeat before you've given it a decent go.

    Ok so if we're up by 15 plus with 3 minutes to go that's diff.Ā  Then you might throw him (among others) behind the ball

    I think throwing him back for match ups is ok.

    They have 3 tall forwards, although only started with two on field. If we put him back to cover the third, I've no problem with that change, wouldn't think it was admitting defeat.

    Ā 

    Sydney certainly had more control in that quarter. A small crumbing forward would be handy.Ā 

    good first half. Swans are top 4 team and have the wood on us.Ā 

    keep up the intensity and tidy up kicking and we will win this

    Its nothing to do with that its the clearance battle and the cleaner ball theyre getting into forward 50 vs our spasmodic clearances and dirtty ball going in thereafter.

    The day we can spread from a clearance then drive it forward finding a leading forward almost directly in front on occasions will be a refreshing change.

    Chandler, Spargo & Tracc really need to get on their bikes big time in this second half.

    JV's in pretty bad form so far.Ā  Looks sluggish, trying to do too much and getting caught....alot.

    P.S. Kozzy out is such a killer.Ā 

    Ā He should go back to late season 21 where his first option was pass it off he has gone back to captain tackled he doesn't have good footy IQ.

    Death, taxes and the person that wants to tell everyone if you read the gameday thread you wouldn't know we're in front.Ā

    I donā€™t think Oliver has had the greatest starts to the year but I feel much more confident in his set shot goal kicking.Ā

    Swans looking much better when they stop playing dirty football and just get on with the game. Losing it when they start their dirty, feux tuff guy rubbish.Ā

    And people complaining about Clarry not being damaging enough despite having heaps of it, leading our metres gained and contested possessions and scored involvements including kicking a couple of goals.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, weā€™ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: ā€œThen came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.ā€ Today, weā€™re back in the same place although oneĀ difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, ā€œIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, ā€¦ā€Ā  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
