Bomb it long to the forward line guys.

Apparently he didn't actually say that, but i say that without knowing the quote myself. It is just what i've heardon the grapevine.

Will let you know tonight after two hours of learnings

Come on now, we weren't great last year whether that be to fitness and lingering injuries, but this year we have been shafted with injuries in the position we are most thin, losing Melk, Petty, Frisch

Yeah, ah, I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that if Aaron Naughton was available we'd play him, y'know? On our list we have 13  players at least 194cm... May, Lever, McDonald, Schache,

A key for sure.

Not just your assets though,   but how you use them. 

Different recipes,  same ingredients,  different result.

Have a sneaking suspicion we might have zigged, not zagged.  As most will concur...and going still with food analogy...proof of pudding in tonights eating.

Go Dees

( even have my lucky socks on 😉 )

I think you will need two pair BB.

As long is Grundy is sub  all good.  Getting tired of honorable loses where we we won on stats but not score board   I think we win tonight.  Good record against Carltank     Should be equal number of fans both sides unlike last week were all carltank fans      Please win !!!

not sure what grundy being sub is going to do for our scoreboard

If we win  ( I am sure ) Goody would remain as a good coach , otherwise he will be Bevo mark 2. Overall I don't think the Dees coaching staff have been creative. Example we have T.Mac and BB both forwards breaking down constantly in other word we get little value from them . We dump Tomlinson when he is playing well , when Petty comes back Tomlinson gets dropped. Then our coaching staff realises that Petty is a forward . We have a backman becoming a forward ,genius coaching. Petty,Fritta and Melk ( born again forward ) get injured . Smith makes the senior side as a non sub,plays forward , another genius idea (not the best however ,but due to injuries he does a Steven Bradbury). We could have tried Tomlinson and Turner up front whilst they we playing for Casey . We shouldn't worry about Schache as a senior player or as a forward , he has had his chances and as far as I am concerned he is another Weidman.

neither. forced into going small tonight. hopefully this means we go quickly too.

At least it's not cold and wet tonight so his selections just might be right for the playing conditions. I really expect a massive improvement tonight. Even playing/kicking badly last week we only lost by a few points and if there were a couple of extra minutes could well have won. How would the media handled that.

Let you know after the game.

Going out straight sets in finals two years in a row would be down right embarrassing. 

It certainly would be embarrassing, even with the injury reasons. You can smell the whole AFL world wants it to happen as well. The days of pity for the MFC are long gone. We are now hated, and they want us to fail. I suppose that's progress?

Goodwin has to win the flag next year or has to go. He has let this team become putrid in skills, he thinks contest and tough defence is all.

Hate his phrase "the score will take care of itself" , rubbish!

Rubbish comment mate.

A brilliant coaching performance against the odds tonight.

If it weren't for a few dodgy decisions we had this.

Coaching is not only the strategy or GameDay, how on earth have many of our players either regressed or stagnated? No skill development.

Great post. If we continue with the slow and high entries with this team then either Goody is insane or the playing group collectively have well below average footy IQ.

Our players are stupid. I'm now convinced of it

BS. Always the umpires isn’t it.

How about we lay the blame at those responsible? Max needs to shoulder a fair bit of the blame with his woeful goal kicking, and the coaching group really needs a rocket and shake-up.

Definitely worth a thread of its own but why o why the inaccuracy

Lack of composure, lack of skill development. For the most part our players have either regressed or stagnated.

Trac same wobbles from last year, Kozzy gets carried away by the emotions, even Fritsch looked woobly in these finals.

Our most accurate kicks are JVR and Fritta. Need one KPF that can mark our long bombs and kick goals.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
