No because at his best he reads the play well, finds good position and kicks beautifully

That may well be true, but he still needs to bring the defensive heat and effort

    (Including tonight)

    Melb and hawthorn play the exact same teams as each other over the next 3 rds.

    The only way forward for Goodwin and is new style of play is to win the next 3.

    If we win the next 2 and get belted by the Hawks, he’ll still be in trouble I reckon.

    Gates open at 5:30pm (MCC 5pm)

    Order of events:

    6.50pm - Pre-Match Entertainment
    7.01pm - Light Horses Lap of Honour
    7.12pm - Observance Ceremony
    7.18pm - Joint Banner Run Through
    7.30pm - Match Start

    Note: they pause entry through all gates during the Observance Ceremony (at 7.12pm). If you're not inside the ground by then, you'll be held outside.

    With increased security measures it’ll take longer to process everyone. They really should open the gates at 4:30pm imo. At Easter Monday’s Hawks vs Geelong match there were folks who missed the first quarter due to the time it takes to get everyone in.

    I am heading down to this game - one of my 5 annual games I attend seeing that I live 2 hours away. Our family group will have 3 Dees supporters and 4 Tigers supporters.

    Tigers are no easy beats because they are playing with intensity, system and skill. Midfield battle will probably break even, our backline should be far too good and experienced to be truly troubled, but their backline is really, really strong. Whoever Vlastuin takes he will probably beat, so one of Petty or Fritsch is looking at a average evening. I can't see Fullarton on him unless he is given a negating role.

    Our game plan has changed/is changing too much for Yze to have to much inside knowledge, but he will know how our stars play.

    For mine, accurate foot skills, and intensity when in transition are the keys for a Dees win.

    I imagine we'll try to put Tom Sparrow on Vlastuin.

    My sister and a bunch of her Sydney friends visited Melbourne for Easter and will be attending tonight, cheering on the Red and the Blue!

    Sadly, I stayed behind in Sydney to play host to a friend visiting from overseas and so still have not managed to visit and watch a game. But I'll be scaring my neighbours and passer bys on the street with my shouting at the TV. GO DEES ❤️💙

    Casey are using great combination of maintaining possession with lots of chip kicks and lead up marks and going fast with overlap and forwad handballs. I reckon that's the template for Goody's game plan.

    I know context is everything, but I actually felt a bit uncomfortable reading this. I'm curious...did it also affect others in that way?

    Nahhh, it’s not really possible to talk about competitive sports without referencing combat. We say teams ‘beat’ other teams all the time.

    Easily the worst thing about sitting in the MCC is the lack of feel for the modern game by so many. "Just kick it" is a regular refrain, as is "terrible kick, number ten". "His name is Turner, you nuffy" is my response.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
