Would be sorely tempted to put Windsor on as a tactical sub. And with a license to move up and down the corridor.

    What the hell does Tholstrup bring to this team? Not even VFL standard.

    That's why these games are important.

    We play every youngster and discover who to keep.

    Anyone defending our coaches needs their heads examined.

    We are clueless with ball in hand and when the opposition has the ball. Our skills are deplorable and we make terrible decisions.

    Incapable of kicking to team mates advantage. Can't stick a tackle

    There is absolutely zero to hang our hat on. There is simply no phase of the game where we play acceptable football.

    We have a lot of overpaid players that should not be collecting a pay check

    North paying $5.20 at half time. Looks juicy

    Jefferson definitely crashing the packs. Competing well.

    Petraccas disposal is absolutely woeful.

    Didn't see Melksham go off? Is it serious?

    Did I hear the commentary correctly that Chocco is the kick Dr.

    Good Lord .

    Should be sued for malpractice.

    I am ready to admit that I do not understand what Goodwin is trying to do to set us up for success in 2026.

    I do enjoy Langford and X playing more midfield. But otherwise I don’t know what the game plan is.

    I wish they’d give Chin more game time on the wing.

    he was after the first pre season session. and goody still wont play him in the middle 😐😐

    Langford is contact shy. Can't play in the middle and had a pass because it's its his 1st year but he learning bad habits avoiding contact

    They haven’t really clarified the extent of the injury yet. Just mentioned he’s trying to get feeling back in his arm.

    Looks like a shoulder.

    We are cooked without him.

    Agreed I’m happy with Jeffo’s attack on the contest. It’s all you can ask for in game 5.

    Well I never thought a bloke from the Goonies would be drafted, but there he was today on Kossie, punching away behind the play, chopping, kicking in danger and scragging know where near the play.

    Which brings me to maggots. What a disgusting bunch today. Three incidents today of high hits not paid. Two kicking in danger. One deliberate trip. Nothing paid.

    And they feel insulted by being called maggots.

    1st half

    👍🏻Dees best Langford & Viney

    👍🏻Jeffo and JVR contesting is good versus average Roos defenders

    Kozzzy got hot for 3 minutes then went missing (did he get a knock ??)

    A few contributions from others but not of any real substance

    💔Goodwin allowing Mckercher to run free

    💔Poor? Kolt, Lever, McVee & 😭Turner

    Ahead but uninspiring. McVee is a worry. Rivers only 5 disposals. A lot of poor contributors

    Stating the obvious CF, but we're a team that no longer matches the sum of it's parts. My concern with Christian is that I no longer (or rarely) see him trying to bring his teammates into the game. Would like to see him being a little more team orientated. That may be harsh.

    They're playing up at stoppage but not at CBAs. The challenge for me isnt the kids not playing through the middle The issue is Petracca, Oliver and Viney are also there.

    On a positive note Langford is a jet and Jefferson is showing a bit even though not suited to a second tall role.

    Anyone else today feel as though this game has been rushed for some reason?

    • 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.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • 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.
