Absolutely [censored] me that Petty and AJ give away some of the most unnecessary free kicks. Unless AJ has a remarkable last 3qtrs, then there's surely no way he plays next week.

JvR actually worried Moore a bit last year so I'd definitely bring him in.

 

Mids need to wake up

    Not enough pressure on the Saints ball carriers. They're moving the ball too easily, leaving our defenders panicking

    This.

    Our defenders back themselves to close space but they can’t do anything with zero pressure in the forward line and midfield

    Play this at the MCG and you get the same turnovers and lack of effort

    Suspect that unless there's a rapid improvement it'll be Jeffo or JVR for Petty next week. Not marking is one thing, but getting constantly outworked and pushed off the contest is something else.

    He has no body strength in the contest most of the time unless he's on a favourable match up. Not enough to hold down any key forward role at AFL level anyway.

    There's no burst speed off the mark either.

    That lack of strengh / power off the mark means he is most often unble to get separation to hold / create space or lead up.

    Generally he just isn't mobile enough or powerful enough in any form to hold down a KF role and be effective at it.

    Not sure what the FD are seeing in him as a KF.

    He's also well covered as a Tall Defender by the likes of T-Mac at the moment. I just wouldn't play him at all and instead look to the likes of Jeffo, JVR (if he hits AFL worthy form at some point) as forwards and if we need another tall defender, start blooding Adams instead.

    Don't blame the ground, we're on the [censored] beach right now. Smacked in the middle, smacked in 50-50 balls, some of the weakest efforts going round.

    Classic case of thinking it will all just happen, the overconfidence was on full display when Kozzie decided he was better than the system. Handed the Saints the momentum and barely had an I50 for the rest of the quarter.

    But believe it or not, while the damage should be done it's not quite yet, have to do it the hard way but please come out with fire.

    Bowey gets a shove in the back. Umpire 22 on the spot, play on! Why am I not surprised? 🤮


    Has the game gone past Lever? I feel like he never wins a one on one.

    Tom `Mac for Lever? Hard to see, but bleeding goals/scores with Lever at the moment.

    Has AJ kicked a footy before??

    Goal kicking coach has to be the highest priority at this club.

    skills coach required

    how choc has held onto the role for as long as he has given our regression in ball use beggars belief

    MFC rarely give you a stress free game.

    It's either the other team scoring or us missing sitters.

    Not much fun

    AJ's goal kicking no good

    Not just his goal kicking, all of his kicking. Mr. Spray.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
