    Re: Melbourne FC

    The Demons are all of a sudden a little wobbly after an average 3 weeks. They put such an emphasis on defence and leaving an extra back at all times, other clubs are now pushing their extra through the midfield and gaining an advantage. The maniacal team work rate seems to have dropped off, with Trac and Oliver getting a little selfish again.

    Going to be interesting to see if it's just a short term slump.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

        They can't decide on their forward line. McDonald is a bit hit and miss now after starting the season like a rocket. Brown out of favour...why did they get him? Time will tell.

            It's glorious that their decline has coincided with our rise.

                Ben Brown had 3 touches and 0.0 in the twos this weekend. I’m begging Dees to bring him in.

                            Yeah - I think most teams that have a really strong season have a few weeks where they go flat. I think they are a really genuine contender and we'll see them play really good footy in the last 4-6 games of the season.

                            Extremely happy to be wrong.

                                It's the great part of this season, you can take nothing for granted. Lets hope they stutter and get some self doubt.

                                    I think they'll work it out and find a better balance between defence and attack. Thursday's game should be a cracker.

                                                I think this is true, but I wonder if this is more problematic for some teams than others.

                                                Some clubs have proven to have a mentally fragile culture; likely owing to sustained, consistent awful. I would wager that the folks at Carlton and Melbourne sweat a little more than most when a bit of form goes out the window or a few “L’s” get chalked up in a row.

                                                        Maybe. The wolves will start baying if they lose to Port. They've dropped some bad games and have had a miracle run with injuries.

                                                            I thought of it first I'm just too busy and important to write it out until 4 hours later.

                                                            Also I have a like so the market has spoken.
