POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs St Kilda
The Saints were not that bad in the first half - their pressure was up, they were trying to move the footy through the corridor - we were so up and about with our own pressure and execution both on turnover and in the middle meant strangulation and then evisceration. It’s a deadly mix and that is the first evidence this year that we have one hand on the cup. Won’t know about the second until later in the year against Brisbane but our best makes very good teams look mediocre.

Hey Deeluded, calm down mate. Yes they stated the obvious, you were wrong to put words in his/her mouth, you are not being attacked, and finally, why are you using a new name?

Will the next 2 games hurt us?

Lever is playing hurt. If a week or two off will help him - then Adam T will be adequate replacement. Hunt did well on Higgins, Salem coming back is a huge decision. Hunt or Rivers? Not going to be Bowey.- Karl Amon

From that same site; our opposition, as in the teams we have played, have the best average rebound 50 number and the 5th best rate (this is the number that is more determinative because it takes into account our high number of I50s). But it means we are letting it out of our 50.- Farewell Luke Jackson
Is this @rangerover? Just remind me of him so much… No, it’s not a good thing.- Low Attendance
No one can make you fell shame but you. I live in Canberra and have a 2 yr old. I have been to the Dogs and the Tigers games and I will be at the Lions Thursday night game. I make the effort and pay the money because I can afford it (off alcohol to compensate) and I know how quickly this all could go away. One injury, a resigning that doesn’t happen, some bad luck and we blink and miss the moments we want to savour for years to come. I know many have great reasons why they are unable to get to these games, but this is a unique situation with a generational team that is not attracting generational crowds. Its disappointing and we shouldn’t ignore it.- Why Petracca, Oliver & Gawn could be best Demons yet
Yes, it’s amazing to have these players. Probably should try to get to the games and enjoy it…- MFC Rebranding for Indigenous Round
When something is more meaningful than you know, because you just don’t know. And that’s ok, but just get out of the way.- TEAMS: Rd 08 vs St. Kilda
Montagna was just saying that our forward half pressure isn’t where it was last year. Stats bear that out and so does the eye test. We are allowing the ball further up the ground and that may be part of the plan as I said before - playing helter skelter in the forward half is not easy. I just think they better lift that on Sunday. The saints slingshot so well because they are front runners at heart.- Farewell Luke Jackson
I guess Goodwin is off to WA in 2025. He should probably start looking at property…- TEAMS: Rd 08 vs St. Kilda
He is was back up ruck. Essentially the third tall. We can cut him slack like we do Jackson for impact forward.- Farewell Luke Jackson
Bad news for Dogs.- The top 5 MFC coaches of your lifetime
Goodwin. Premiership. Winning percentage. Honest. Daniher. Brought back the resolve and demand to the club to be good. Got the most out of a run of the mill list. Roos. Set up the club for sustained success with his installed culture from Sydney. Northey. Too young but he would be 4th Balme. Top bloke.- TEAMS: Rd 08 vs St. Kilda
Good point. Tough to drop on 199.- TEAMS: Rd 08 vs St. Kilda
Yeah, evidently not.- Premiership Coach Simon Goodwin extends until 2024

Move the goalposts wider and they will be outside the stadium…- CHANGES : Rd 08 vs St. Kilda
We are not defending well in our forward half or creating as many turnovers - it’s alarming unless Goodwin just lets them save their legs against lower opposition. We find out on Sunday. I don’t think you can be so blasé with how you play so I just don’t think we are as good defensively in the forward half as we were last year. Weds to improve in the next four months.- CHANGES : Rd 08 vs St. Kilda
Melbourne supporters, Jaded.- Steven May One on One
ND6. One of the King brothers, Ben. Good trade all around really. Well except for Freo who got Hogan for ND6.- Christian Salem - Straight back to the backline or something different?
We play so high up in defence that he gets to use his foot skills in the forward half as it is.- Farewell Luke Jackson
I don’t disagree. Although when I say change I mean something like ND14 so it’s a first round pick but ‘change’ as far as I am concerned - it’s unlikely to unearth a star. Thats just an aside - we have to find a way to keep Jackson and Oliver as priority 1 and 1A. Then we will have to make decisions on IF we can keep Brayshaw, Harmes, Etc - our good players that are part of the fabric but that also easier to replace than our galaxy of stars; 1, 3, 5, 8, 11, 13, and 15. - CHANGES: Rd 09 vs West Coast
