Kozzys form a real worry. just not on his game at all.

Since signing his contract extension he’s been poor. If it wasn’t for his potential you’d drop him.

 

Petracca should be banned from going for goal at this point. It’s actually comical.

    Well ankle is better than foot. No doubt about that. 

    True. Pauline is adamant it’s his ankle. I told her the Club are reporting it’s his foot. She said it depends on who you talk to from the Club. She spoke to Fritta himself. 


    Trac needs to dish it off. His goal kicking just hopeless today

    Petracca's definitely not going to die wondering if he can kick goals - he'll know he can't.


    Tracc could be a worthy Brownlow medalist IF HE COULD KICK!

    Bowsers a belter. His quick step and composure is fantastic.

    the HTB tackle followed up by a great delivery. much better kozzy

    On another note, Himmelberg isn’t worth 400k let alone the 800-900k being reported in the media. Absolutely bog average third tall at either end.

    yr like a broken record

    we clear about $800k as a result of selling the game to nt - it's one of our biggest sponsorships

    no nt govt, no yze, no choco, no burgess into selywn, etc. etc

    Yep because I reckon it stinks.

    We have 65k members and a recent flag. If a club can’t turn that into a replacement sponsor then I’d be asking very hard questions of the sponsorship department.

    It made sense circa 2011-20. That we still do it with so much to play for is frankly a disgrace.

     

    10 shots to 3

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
