Silver lining is that maybe this precipitates Goodwin's farewell?

Not sure the board has the guts but one can dream.

We'd have to miss finals for it to be considered I'd say.

 

Strange game 

 

All the talk about Petty. Fritz has contributed zero and roo 2 hit outs. Getty nothing from them and have for the last month.

    They're killing us around the stoppage and killing us around the ground. If they tighten up their possessions and keep running they will score quickly. I just can't see us winning this. We are so, so bad.

    There was a bit of a melee. Shame we didn't put in this much fight against Collingwood.

    Not where I’m sitting. Out number 3-1. It’s just that quarter we didn’t have much to cheer about.

     

    Kozzy went down to the rooms early in that quarter. He was limping a fair bit behind the play

    I hope North don't find their shooting boots or we could be in trouble

    If Kozzy is going to spend time in the middle, he can't continue to avoid contested situations. He goes in one handed and is timid in contested situations. He also lowers his body as he goes into the contest to try and get a head high free, and when the opposition doesn't get sucked into giving away the free, he ends up on the floor with the ball and then rushes his disposal.

    Needs to cut it out of his game if he is going to continue to get minutes in the midfield.

    That's very likely with no Petracca, I can almost put some money on us missing the 8.


    Poor quarter, bodes badly for the rest of the game. Forward line have packed it in after a good first quarter 

    It’s interesting that we are more than 10% down on our season average disposal efficiency.

    Clean that up and we’ll be much more likely to score.

    I am not normally one to try ridiculous player shifting mid game but I'd honestly put Oliver deep in the pocket and put Kolt next to him. Shift Petty back and McDonald forward. Leave JVR in the ruck and have Gawn play defensively exclusively. Pickett on the wing and Windsor playing a defensive wing. Give Langdon more space to run. Then sub Chandler and bring on Brown to play an attacking flank role.

    JVR was BOG against Collingwood

    Yep we’ve been butchering it.

    North’s contest work was very good that qtr. If they keep it up we’ll be done.

    Sad to see a champion like Clarry reduced to a plodding ineffective confused player. Looks totally cooked. 

    Pretty poor second quarter. Good to see Rivers getting a run through the middle though. Oliver still looks  miles off being the player he was and I am not sure it’s his fitness that’s holding him back.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
