Big Dees flaw ‘repetitious to the point of boring’; finals’ shock ‘most complete team’: Blowtorch
Friday September 15, 7.50pm at the MCGFrom 7pm on Channel 504, hosted by Garry Lyon with Jonathan Brown, Nathan Buckley, Jordan Lewis, Kath Loughnan and Jon Ralph.It’s the stone Melbourne just can’t shake out of its shoe, with the connection between its midfield brigade and forward line still far from its best. The Demons in the home and away season ranked 14th in the competition for both defensive 50 to inside 50 conversion and scores per inside 50 .
Well they were fine in Round 19 without them as Charlie Curnow kicked 10 goals! But that was against West Coast in the home and away season — not against the best defensive team of the past three years. And for the record, the Blues have struggled to score in their two games against Melbourne this season, managing just 15 goals from 92 inside 50s, with Curnow kicking just two of those majors.
There are some similarities about the Giants’ circumstances this year compared to four years ago. After thumping the Western Bulldogs in an elimination final, the Giants in 2019 travelled to Brisbane and pulled off a four-point semi-final win, setting up a prelim against Collingwood at the MCG. After accounting for St Kilda last week, the Giants travel to Adelaide to meet the Power, with the winner setting up a prelim against the Magpies. And they’re a big chance to beat the Power too.
