The old junk time goal curse strikes again.

 
 

They look far too quick and get into space way better than we do. We are defending well generally but if we turn it over at half forward they almost always score.

Yep classic Deetime.

I reckon we've just backed off in intensity and running the last 5 mins for sure

That aged well.....hahahahha.

 

Spargo is a complete waste of space. He shouldn’t be in the team.

That's annoying giving up the goal near the end of the quarter

You were saying

6 goals, just fixture your eyes on that! We usually kick 6 goals a century

But he redeemed himself.

And shame on the poster that mentioned junk time goals just recently.

Remember seeing a goal back in the 90’s. Incredible feeling.

Who said viney can't kick

I did and my heart was in my mouth when he took that shot

Ripping start.

They’ve passed my first test, showing pressure and intensity early, and added scoring to boot.

Now the next test - doing it for more than one quarter.

 

Far out.. Oliver and Petracca are killing us with their ball use. Absolutely horrific with some of their touches.

  • 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.
