Defence Issues

No wonder if felt like we were back in 2014 🤣

I thought Petty made a few rookie errors. We have always been vulnerable with defensive ground balls. 

But no May & McVee was part of that issue. Plus the lack of any defensive accountability up the ground in the midfield was always going to put the D6 under more pressure. 

It was one game...hardly a trend. Lets see how it is on Sat before we start having meltdown 2.0

    I don’t blame the defence so much as the midfield and the leadership. I don’t believe Nathan Jones is up to the job. But then again having to coach 4 Prima Donna’s as a rookie coach is a tough gig.

    Midfield bombs it indiscriminately to no one i50? Blame the forwards!

    Midfield lets oppo waltz out of stoppage under zero pressure? Blame the backline!

    The game against the Roos should largely fall on the midfield. However, we have players who cannot move the ball quickly: May, Lever, Petty, Viney, Sparrow, McDonald, and to a degree, Rivers. They stop and look down the line first, and are too slow to react. Even when the ball is switched, it is still mark and prop, as the midfield does not move quick enough. Case in point: the Hawks. Once it's switched, it's all go. Gold Coast will try to play on and run at all times. Hopefully, not playing at the G much might be a little more difficult.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
