I understand the plan now, bomb it to the hotspot so many times that the defenders crash into each other and take out their ruckman - and hopefully crumb a couple of goals in the process. 
 

Nice to see it come together after 2 years of trying 

 

Any chance we could ask Harmes to tag the Bont??

Will happily take the lead (albeit slim) considering how much space we've allowed the Bulldogs forwards so far.

Windsor looks good. Staggering that Billings was given the sub vest last week. Hasn't looked out of place at all so far.

Surprised the doggies didn’t follow Sydney and just flood the drop of the ball with players. Worked a treat for them last week.

 

Great to see us out marking the opposition for once.

Some decent umpiring and we are two goals up .

May looking good.

Kozzie too.

Chandler getting better.

Jvr and Oliver getting involved.


Anyone else see May smash Harmes and then push his head into the ground??

no love lost there!

Lot of belting it blindly into the F50, luckily the Dogs defenders seem to have NFI under the high ball…could go either way though we would want to play a bit better to put a break on them 

Ahead on all the key stats

Forward entry is the usual failure but the Dogs backline is their weakest spot so we might be on

1st qtr 

👍🏻May. Viney. Rivers. Mcvee. Billings. Salem. Oliver. 👏👏👏

X Gawn handball to English 🤨🤨🤨

X umps 😡😡

Nice comeback after the dogs start.

Billings has done some nice things, vineys kicking is a lot better and van rooyen is taken some good marks. 

Just need trac to stop fumbling

Fix that and we win.

Just lead and create space and stop bombing.

They'll catch onto it soon enough. Unbelievable we're still dumping it in

Where is Max?

I've only got radio and stats to watch here, so maybe I am missing something?

7 disposals, 3 marks, 4 clearances, 2 intercepts, 2 rebound 50s, 3 score involvements, 130m gained at 85% DE seems like a pretty good first quarter for a ruck.

Cheers.

I was worried he was injured when Jvr was rucking for so long.

Brilliant finish from ANB, but that goal was ALL CLARRY!

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
