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.

    Does that surprise you after spending time on this site?

    What happened after the siren?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
