11 goals down, we CAN do this…

It’s not even a goal a minute. Way more luxury than that.

Seriously though, just show some heart boys and keep this respectable. Was always going to be a tough ask tonight. But if we’re going to build with this team, we need to start building one that keeps fighting until the last siren.

    RIVERS is overated and believes his own mirror!
     

    Need Culley to find more of the football.

    Everytime he has it, good things seem to happen.

    Nope he is soft cant have that!

    Howes, Latrelle, Salem, Petty, Sharp would all be dropped if were dropping softies, and there’s not enough at Casey to cover any of them. Coach him through it

    Think we need to play a 3rd tall (ie. have one fit) which then moves him back in to the midfield more. But then how does he play higher with an already slow midfield?
     

    Some people are deluded with Lever. He's been terrible yet they excuse him because they reckon we need two stud defenders for him to play well. Enough already. We need leaders who can hold the fort right now and defend 1v1 when needed. You no longer have the luxury to float.

    Kozzie very average but in good company.

    Will struggle to find votes except for captain courage.

    I've seen enough.

    Nup.

    Reiwoldt is a terrible commentator but I love the wrestling references

    This is by no means an excuse, but it’s really kinda weird travelling to WA during daylight savings.

    I was supposed to be on the same flight as the team this weekend. We were in the lounge when we got told the flight was cancelled. Not delayed, but cancelled. Could see the players were all pretty [censored] off (as well as the Bulldogs players who were there too). My travelling party were bumped to some ridiculous flight that went via Sydney and got us into Perth at 11pm. I believe our boys were put on a much kinder flight, but still didn’t get into Perth until 7pm (was supposed to be 2pm)

    During daylight savings it’s a three hour difference in the west. Everyone arriving from Melbourne wakes up at some stupid hour the next day.

    Again, no excuse, but certainly doesn’t help. Especially in the second game of the year

    So much for the AFL protecting players. Too many reckless defenders swinging and missing when they have no chance to contest the mark.

    Levers been much better since 1/4 time.

    The game plan is multiple zone defenders and less one on one.

    We need to see some actual midfield cover and forward pressure before we cast judgment on the deep part of the zone

    Anyone got a heart for Petty

    One of the softest big men in the game.

     

    That said, I think Lever is washed but I’m not sure T Mc back in makes any difference

    We need people like Sparrow actually tackling or producing turn overs in the midfield.

    • 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.
