Is it my imagination or has Lingers been super quiet?

No he's had a none impact game. Very unusual.

He's not alone. Kozzie getting tagged out.

Salem and Lever quiet.

    What planet are you on picket?

    Turner is our key back for the next 10 years. The worst thing we can do for his career is to keep swinging him forward, back, forward, back

    Agree but he did kick 3 great goals earlier after dominating in defence. Petty useless as forward but better at defence. BUT whole piont is this why is our bestt defender for last 2 years T.Mac not playing?? Thats down to Goodwin!

    We lifted our intensity a lot that quarter thank God, but we largely still played like rubbish I thought. Stupid errors like Melksham pulling the kick back to the top of the 50 where the sea of hands couldn't keep the ball locked and Butler ended up scoring. Even towards the end of that quarter when Max got the free just not thinking before taking that short pass and nearly costing us another goal.

    We need to bloody relax, take a second to think and then execute. Oliver, Langdon, Rivers all need to lift.

    I said i would have taken a quarter where we made inroads into the lead, I still think we can play a lot better. The game should open up a bit in the second half and allow more chances, just take them because every game is an elimination final from here on in.

    No concussion so you’d guess just 1 week but the MRO will spin their wheel of nonsense

    137 disposals as a team for a whole half. Surely that's got to be the lowest for a team this year?

    The Saints are getting their goals from quick transition, or a "joe-the-goose" over the back. Small structural changes from the Dees in the 2nd half should clog this up.

    Lindsay onto Butler and Windsor onto the wing.

    May and Lever getting better as the game continues, Turner is in our best 3 or 4 players, Bowey and Rivers to lift.

    AJ 3 weeks.

    No concussion so it will be 1-2, probably 2 given how unnecessary it was.

    Forward tackle count is atrocious.

    Max doesn't focus on the goals long enough. He looks down with just the odd glance at the sticks and then always misses. Simply needs to lift his head up. Small change.

    Was AJ's hit he gave out, any worse than the one Spargo got?

    Saints forward line is not tall. Tmac, like May, is slow to react and useless below his knees. IMO we could only play one of them today

    At least Keeler was quiet in the 2nd qtr

    We should start pickett fwd and isolate windhanger deep.

    Thats my first thoughts but we lose his midfield drive even though he’s providing none atm 🤷‍♂️

    Yes, but he is hopeless below his knees. We could not play both May and Tmac today

    Melbourne are the most frustrating footy team ever. That is all

    Ross is a very astute coach. He’s shut down Langdon and Bowey and we’ve lost all our drive and spread.

    • 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.
