70% inside 50 scoring efficiency to Freo is bush league standard from a defensive point of view. I thought defence was our saving grace.

    The difference is their HB transition. In response we move the ball slower to setup behind the ball. This plays more to their benefit. 

    We have to go as quickly as possible in HB just go for it.

    Love how they flush just about every set shot & we absolutely butcher our chances time & time again. 

    Skill execution is still a major concern of ours. Don’t see how that changes any time soon.

    Our forward line is always to crowded taking to long to decide what to do with the pill, need to play on instinct more...

    Maybe they're focused on just the new game style because there looks like no oppo work has been done. Doing nothing to stop Freo's transition game.

    Petracca 35 metrs out to goal running in and he handballs to a player slower than him and it’s a turnover.  What the ?  Go for goal. Overhandballing!!! Stop it now.

    I’m pretty sure that Fritta was dealing with more than one injury for a large part of the season, and that could have accounted for his appearing disinterested.

    Thanks for that. Perhaps you noticed these less than enthusiastic attempts as well.

    It certainly would explain them.

    Cheers HT.

    Enjoy the rest of the game and do what I'm doing.

    Curled up in a fetal position repeating ad nauseam.....it's only a practice game.

    I've had to cut back on my bourbon to payo for kayo this year.

    How are the new boys going?

    Lindsay ok but mostly defensive wing stuff

    Harvey flashes but not quite there 

    AJ very solid workhorse, hoping for more 

    Sharp - messy 

    Adams - some decent stuff, can get caught flat footed in transition but having a go

    Positives so far are Tracc’s selflessness and the Windsor thing will work if we can get him involved.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
