Ouch. The thread title has changed to "vs Carlton" at half time. Over to you, Sydney...

Surely the club appeals the JVR suspension. Was graded medium impact, McStay played out the game could argue it down to low impact surely?

We can but I don’t think we will. A week for that is pretty right. It was definitely not a necessary action, and McStay had to go to the rooms for an assessment. 

I’d give him a trophy if he did it to Cox tho. Wasn’t worth it on McStay, he’s a spud. 

Grundy is so inept as a forward, that I think bloody tomlinson would offer more playing there.

This is a guy who played as a pure forward for Casey, looked so completely lost that they gave up at HT and played him ruck.

He nerfs Gawn when he plays, which is an outcome we simply can't afford.

Schache is not contested enough. So... either swing tomlinson or heck even Turner there, back in Spargo and a small forward line, just PLEASE don't play Grundy. Please.

 

I hope David King is in the media this week saying how Melbourne should get 75% of the seats against Carlton because it's our home game 🤨

Won't have to worry about Jack Martin. He's gonski

So is Mckay ...likely

 

McKay appears concussed so  (depending on Jesse Hogan’s mate, the Carlton doctors assessment) should miss next week.  
Which may change out defensive set up

Their lawyer has already got him off and 3 Brownlow votes. 


JVR will be downgraded to a fine,he plays.

Now that I think about it, the Swans player did headbutt his fist.

Harmsey did his hammy this morning in the scratch match against Carlton reserves.

While I don’t wish any player any injuries from us or the opposition they need to think outside the box and become inventive. Harmes while a good servant and loyal his style of football gas been surpassed.

Appeal, should have got an extra week for stupidity.

Watching Parker deep forward against Carlton, Trac plays deep on him.

carlton not dealing with Sydney taking the game on or the slingshot 

I haven’t seen enough of him, but could Disco play tall fwd roll to bring it to ground.

Apparently played forward today and played well?

They’ll beat us at clearance and pump it forward, sheesh, could get ugly

Feeling better after seeing Sydney fight back. Should beat the Blues comfortably 

The formula is so clear from these two finals:

1. Attack from minute one, instead of when you're already multiple goals behind
2. Kick goals instead of behinds (duh), i.e., score when you have momentum
3. Nope just two.

3. Have a forwardline with, wait for it, forwards

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
