It took Yze 15 minutes to work out the game plan and tear us a new one. 

It's largely his gameplan

 

Looks like we’re relying on Maxy to be our sole ruck AND key forward this season 

 

There are massive alarm bells, no defensive pressure, no skills and being out worked

Yep and if he goes down then so does our season

What’s happened to Windsor? I’m still waiting on my digital membership code to come through? Sounds like they’re doing me a favour not sending it through…..

Laid a late-ish combined tackle/bump on McIntosh and looks to have hurt his ribs.

chin gets a goal after a mark (after?) on the siren

that was a shocking 30 mins of footy from us - last 10 mins of the first and first 20 of the second

something tells me Goody is going to be spending the next fortnight on defence


Setting our own players up to be crunched from those bad decisions.

And that's supposed to be our strength!

The alarming part of that was the poor footskills and basic skill errors. Laurie, May, Neale Bullen and Tracca all noticeable poor in that department. Kozzie trying to play Hollywood football in February.

 

the next concern is the lack of defensive pressure. We literally just leaked goals all over the place.

pressure more so than defence per se i would argue

the lack of effort was....strange

2/7 time score?


it’s not even a real pre season game

can we relax??

Things I’d like to see in the second half:

- Billings on the wing to see if he can earn that spot 

- Fritsch up the ground involved in play

- Laurie more midfield chances

- switches and moving to the fat side with the run rather than charging head first in to the press

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • 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.
