Giants should comfortably beat the Saints

Saints are one of the worst finals teams i’ve seen

I’ve got a cheeky couple on them for the flag.

pace pace pace Bedford 

Goal Bedford 

thanks Goody for ignoring Toby so much that he left the club 

clearly has pace and goal sense … but goody preferred Spargo ahead of Bedford (ffs)

It’s a good point - but is it Goodwin’s fault or the match committee?

 

looking like a 10 goal blowout

so much for the Saints defence

Giants and Blues are dangerous to face in finals. the 2 form teams playing like they nothing to lose 


GWS far better. Ball movement much slicker. They’re mids on top as well. Could be a long day for the saints 

Hope our coaches and list management are watching the giants and see the importance of an outside game. We are all inside no outside. Their ability to win contest and spread and ball movement into a forward line that has motion and space whether it be fast or slow ball movement is a thing to behold. They are also very disciplined in their roles talls doing what talls should do and smalls doing what smalls should do.

Haven't been watching, could the G's actually do some damage next week?

Hogan would be handy right now 


Toby Bedford and Jesse Hogan would look great in our forward line...

They could, it's like Collingwood from Rd 1 to Rd 10.

They'll be playing Port, who is not that strong at home in finals.

Just as the Essendon players are there today watching the game so should Goodwin. A fwd line of Hogan, Lloyd. Daniels, Bedford, Riccardi and only the one top end talent in Greene. Quick ball movement and kicking to a player’s advantage.

Bedford whilst given some opportunity in 22 along with many others from Casey were ignored in particular after the 1st final loss to the Swans & made no changes to play the Lions

Hogan was gone mentally hence why Freo moved him on & Penny finally dropped & out pick 6 got May & rest is history

absolutely. defence is fantastic and they are quick and clean through midfield and attack 

no idea how they were 3-7

Saints look gone but they should be playing at Marvel have given up home ground advantage, would the Afl make GWS to play at a different stadium if they were hosting a home final???

If the AFL wanted the other team to win then yes they would.

Was this a portent of what was to befall the Swans tonight?

Love your work WCW but I'm sorry to inform you the quality of the crepe paper used in each team's banner does not portent the future.

Whoever we draft must be an elite kick. 

Example Josh Kelly

 

Good response from the saints. It was looking like it was going to be a rout so fair play to them for getting back into this game

Maybe some team will get up from the Canvas this week.

  • 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.
