Excellent tactical analysis video

I'm not sure if this has already been posted, but this YouTuber/footy influencer (Davis Jarra) does better footy analysis than 99% of the media pundits out there. Would highly recommend this video to fans who want to see an excellent breakdown of how the new Melbourne method is working.

He makes a great point about how playing fast produces uncertainty, which forces the opposition into making decision after decision. Sometimes those decisions will work against us, but yesterday it created enough chaos for us to capitalise and create scoring opportunities out of nothing.

I was pleasantly surprised by how many clips there are of CJ in this package - his instincts as a footballer fit 100% into our new ethos, and I'm so glad we picked him up in the trade period. He'll turn the ball over every now and then, but I'm willing to accept that if he can successfully take on three opponents and switch the ball to the other side of the ground like he did with that incredible kick to Tholstrup yesterday.

He also has an in Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/davisjarra?igsh=eGVvc2xkbnRuaXgx) if you're into short form content (he makes a lot of videos and most of them are really high quality!)

REPORT: St. Kilda
REPORT: St. Kilda

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
