Bailey...hes such a beautiful kick

 

Angus is starting to slide down the order for me, I don't feel safe when he's handling the ball in our defensive 50

 

For All Eagles effort there's an obvious gulf in class. We'll win this by 60-80 points i reckon

Nice to see Tmac back in form 

Now if Kayo can just stop freezing every 34 seconds 😡


That Sparrow tap on and combination from our midfield was excellent. Do that more please.

Remember when Fritta needed to 'practice' goalkicking?

And when he needed to practice team work...

Meh, we're loading early in the game...

Yeah it's been a nice dip from them but they can't sustain it. We won't mess around like Freo did.

Log out and then back in. seems to work. Also gets it back to a live feed.

We are tapping and hitting it on a lot today, might have been the tactic for the week at training. 

The forward line is at least functioning!

Wouldn't mind our midfield doing the same. Kelly and Gaff have dominated.

Eagles pressure that quarter was pretty decent

Petracca's start to the year has been underwhelming. His game last week was OK but he was well held by his standards by the Swans mids, and this week he's been basically unsighted.

Unfortunately Trac and Oliver are playing like they did in Brisbane.

Tracc forward and bring Kozz in the middle for 10 minutes or so?

Tracc has the fumble yips again and needs to take a grab or get a few cheap ground balls / receives to get his confidence up a little IMV.

If staying in the middle / around stoppage i'd instruct him to get in there and get his hands on it a bit more.  Running past the contests a bit too often so far.

Really struggling this year.

Everything all good with your internet? Haven't had any issues with mine.

  • 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.
