Yeah haven’t seen the first half Picket but he’s decision making in the fourth has been strange.

Billings has been great!

No he hasn’t, moments of class but he’s a few steps behind in pressure and contested work.

    Hard to read much from a practice match, but some positives so far:

    Windsor and Brown do not look out of place. Verrall also.

    Rivers strong improvement continues. McVee plays like he's been at this level for 10 years

    Kossie in the middle for more than the first bounce of each qtr is great

    Billings getting a bit of it.

    Viney is massive for our midfield

    A few negatives so far:

    The fumble attempts at marking, particularly by May and Lever

    Turn overs killing us, poor decision making and handball execution

    Lack of pressure in defence. Bolton must have the pox, he's that clear

    Still too many long bombs and poor conversion in front of goal

    Is Langdon playing? Just ran down an opponent, so just noticed him

    Give me his moments of class than our classless turnover merchants!

    Not sure what we’ve done to Windsor’s kicking but he’s now holding the ball funny and hitting the inside of the foot on half of them. He’s been nicely Melbourne’d

    Score please

    Big prediction, but we look bottom 8. You can focus on who is not out there, but the foot skills are as bad as any side in the league

    Its just scratch game but we still seem lacking up fwd.

    Rivers syrong improvement continues

    What?

    I’m not too concerned about our defense. 
    They’re clearly working of fast ball movement but the skills is still a concern. Sometimes they’re biting off more that they can chew but that’s why it’s a practice match. They are looking at what is working and what is not.

    Hasn’t had an amazing day by any stretch but it’s good signs from JVR you can tell he’s taken a step

    Conversion was off today but otherwise he's looking ominous as a strong marking forward target for us.

    I thought you were backing me up on the whole it’s a practice match thing.

    How do we watch the next three 1/4s? Looks like fox is done

    Kayo not working is it?

    Yeah no doubt. But defs needs to tidy up his disposal.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
