We didn’t capitalise but it’s pretty clear we should win this. Just need to come out composed and take our chances. 

Would love a win at kardinia to kick off the end of the week!!

 Let’s go Dees

Geelong flogging us in the tackle count.. most of their tackles don’t count however as they are off the ball.

Hawkins super surprised the umpires don't listen to his demand for a free on the siren. Don't those fans/umpires listen anymore! Write a letter to Gil, Tom. He'll overturn it

Brayshaw needs to work at the meat department. He’s a butcher.

Maybe during the week focus on your kicking skills instead of playing golf!

Hate potting my own players and his 2 finished have been important but kozzi had played one of the softest games i can remember

Langdon has been similar.

Geelong players allowed to take on tackles. Ball up. 

So many fend offs that we've wrapped up in tackles

It's 70 to 51 Melbourne's way

Viney is carrying our midfield this past few weeks. Such a workhorse and getting back to his damaging best.

Gawny is really struggling. The balance with him and Grundy just isn’t working and it’s effected Gawns form badly now. Need to rethink how we use him and have a word to the umpires about how often he’s blocked or belted off the ball!

Why’s that not fifty against Hawkins? 
torp from the middle no one on the line defending the dribble……..

I was hoping for a 50, then because Hawkins would still be arguing we’d get a second 50 and a shot on goal

Hunter’s over the head no look handball to Brayshaw towards the end of that quarter was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

I cannot remember a worse team that the current Melbourne team, for giving up goals/opportunities for goals in the last minute of a quarter. I turned to my wife and said, "watch this, mindless turnover coming up followed by shot on goal..."

If we could kick, no-one would get anywhere near us. I know it is wet, but our kicking remains our biggest issue.

Brayshaw is no 1 turnover merchant atm

As a percentage of disposals i would like to wager Lingers is worse.

Gus yes but not as a ratio.  Gets alot more of it.

That last kick was a horror though.

Umpiring is embarrassing.

So Chandler gets taken high but continues to play on as no call.  Then as he's attempting to kick the goal the ump calls the free but then says he's taking advantage.

Geelong tossing it around like a rugby ball.... never called.  Viney attempts an overhead HB and according to the commentators he "may have got a fist to it" .... pinged straight away.

But to add insult to injury just prior to that the Geelong defender grabs the contested ball 20m out from our goal throws out a don’t argue but gets tackled to the ground holding the ball. Definite free kick but nup not from these Nuppties!

We should run them off their feet now. We are coming off a 10 day “bye” and them off a 6 day break from Adelaide.

Gus Brayshaw. 

We had 30 second and he had the ball with zero pressure. On the wing. All it needed was a kick to the advantage to a forward (at the very least). What does he do? 

Kicks the ball out on the full. 

It is genuinely astonishing how often we do that sort of thing. And from him in particular.

Its just so lazy.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
