The tall defenders are going to be a worry with this run and gun system. Lever has brain farts, May gets nervous under pressure and the Tug Boat can’t move the feet quick enough to evade pressure, nor can he defend. 

Then they can get used to it if they are so good. 

What’s the point in having generational defenders if we are going to have a gameplan designed around protecting them?

Run.

Gun.

    I agree and there weren’t too many defensive errors, the problem was when they had the ball that still needs work

    Hard to judge with a team playing first touch of the year against an oppo in anger, but for a team with 6 or so best 22 sitting it out, when it clicked it looked great, but if the balls turned over we get knifed on the rebound. Personally I still have questions over billings, but that could just be my predisposed disposition

    Teams seem to go end to end with such ease against us.

    This was the knock on the Pies game style last year, hopefully the positives out weight the negatives

    Sweet, I look forward to us lifting the cup then

    Yuck giving up quick goals that's five in a row. Our small backs and lever and may a year older are a concern


    Trac looked a bit proppy after a contest a minute or so ago. 

    I reckon you just have to ask what are we working on?  I see this as More of a test in anger rather than all cards on the table.  You will see patches of good and bad in such scenarios.

    Gee the pressure or Gawn is already evident. Such a colossal error giving up so early on Grundy. Gave in to media pressure.

    Pace is still an issue because structurally we play high pressure which is vulnerable on the turnover and doesn't let us take advantage of the pace we do have. No matter how quick you are, if you're playing a kick behind on the transition you'll never catchup. It's a Goodwin coaching speciality and has been since 2017.

    • 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.
