2014 Melbourne Football Club season (original) (raw)
The 2014 Melbourne Football Club season was the club's 115th year in the VFL/AFL since it began in 1897. On the back of three seasons stemming back to 2011, Melbourne underwent changes to its football department in 2013. The most significant of these changes included the appointment of 2005 premiership coach Paul Roos for two seasons (with an option of a third season). It also saw the temporary appointment of former Essendon CEO, Peter Jackson, as Melbourne's new CEO for two seasons and the appointment of former Bernie Naylor Medalist Glen Bartlett as president.

| dbo:abstract | The 2014 Melbourne Football Club season was the club's 115th year in the VFL/AFL since it began in 1897. On the back of three seasons stemming back to 2011, Melbourne underwent changes to its football department in 2013. The most significant of these changes included the appointment of 2005 premiership coach Paul Roos for two seasons (with an option of a third season). It also saw the temporary appointment of former Essendon CEO, Peter Jackson, as Melbourne's new CEO for two seasons and the appointment of former Bernie Naylor Medalist Glen Bartlett as president. Due to Melbourne's on-field performances in recent seasons, Melbourne received a very financially challenging fixture. For the second consecutive season, Melbourne did not receive a Friday night game and were forced to play Port Adelaide, West Coast, Greater Western Sydney, North Melbourne and Western Bulldogs twice (none of whom are traditionally large crowd drawers in Melbourne's home games). Melbourne sold two of its home games into the Northern Territory due to a sponsorship deal made with Tourism NT. One was at TIO Traeger Park in Alice Springs in round 11 against Port Adelaide. This will be the first ever AFL game held at this stadium for premiership points as well as the first in Central Australia. The other game was at TIO Stadium in Darwin against Fremantle in round 16. In addition Melbourne hosted the Brisbane Lions at Etihad Stadium in round 19 as Collingwood hosted Port Adelaide at the MCG later that day instead. Despite the financially challenging fixture, Melbourne hosted a handful of blockbuster games, which included Paul Roos coaching against his old side Sydney in round 5 for the first time. Melbourne continued to play its annual Queen's Birthday clash against Collingwood in round 12 (despite a record low crowd of 50,853 in 2013). Melbourne also hosted Geelong for the first time since Round 11, 2009 in round 17. (en) |

However once St Kilda gained composure in their backline, Melbourne struggled to deliver the ball effectively into their forward 50. * From there on, a lackluster game full of clangers from both sides was played. Melbourne struggled to deliver the ball inside their 50 without the presence of a key forward as St Kilda were able to score from turnovers via their key forwards in Nick Riewoldt and Rhys Stanley. * With St Kilda leading by 33 points midway through the third term, Melbourne staged a mini comeback. However it was to no avail as Melbourne were unable to capitalize on their opportunities inside their forward 50. * Despite losing by 17 points, Melbourne easily won the disposal count 408-348 and the inside 50 count 47-38.

However a mark and goal from Jack Watts; a running shot from outside 50 from Matt Jones that bounded through for a goal and a contested mark and set shot goal from former Adelaide midfielder Aidan Riley put Melbourne 6 points in front just before half time. * The third quarter saw Richmond generating many scoring opportunities, but be wasteful with them. Meanwhile goals from Dom Tyson, Chris Dawes, Cameron Pedersen and Jack Viney saw Melbourne retake the lead at three quarter time. * In the final quarter, Richmond challenged Melbourne's lead by kicking more accurately for goal. However goals on the run from Cameron Pedersen and Bernie Vince held off the fight-back, before Jack Watts and Jay Kennedy Harris put the game out of Richmond's reach.

This was their second time promoting the organization since Round 7, 2010. * The Western Bulldogs got off to an early lead by kicking the first 2 goals before James Frawley and Chris Dawes kick-started Melbourne's night to close the lead to 8 points at quarter time. * With Stewart Crameri kicking the Bulldogs off to a match high 14 point lead; a running mark and set-shot from ex-Bulldog Daniel Cross, 50+ metre bomb from Cameron Pedersen and 50 metre boundary line set-shot from Jay Kennedy Harris got Melbourne within 2 points of the lead at half time. * Melbourne took the lead for the first time of the game when Jay-Kennedy Harris kicked a roving goal from 40 metres before the Bulldogs took the lead back immediately. * Despite the Bulldogs being able to reply immediately to Melbourne's goals; majors from Dom Tyson, Mark Jamar, Bernie Vince and Chris Dawes gave Melbourne a slim 5 point lead heading into the final quarter. * Whilst the Bulldogs kicked 2 quick consecutive goals at the start of the final term, a running shot at goal by Christian Salem and a long drop punt by Dom Tyson leveled the scores up. * With Bulldogs 6 points in-front very late in the game, a running shot that was missed from Matt Jones could've altered the lead for the 11th time in the half. * Melbourne tired out in the final minutes of the game and conceded the last 2 goals of the game in a hard fought contest.

Through Chris Dawes' marking strength as well as an overhead handball to Jack Viney, Melbourne kicked an extra 3 goals in a row to lead by 36 points midway through the second quarter. * Adelaide gradually wrestled back control of the game by dominating the clearances and inside 50's to boot the next 4 goals of the game. However a free-kick and goal to Chris Dawes just before 3 quarter time, managed to temporarily halt off Adelaide's momentum. * Despite kicking in the breeze, Adelaide continued their offense through the corridor to get within a kick from the lead. However a high tackle free kick and goal from the boundary line from Nathan Jones; contested overhead mark and goal in the goal-square from Mark Jamar as well as a hard ball get and shot from Dom Tyson took the game out of Adelaide's reach. * With Melbourne holding on by 3 points late in the game, a Rohan Bail clearance and bomb into Melbourne's empty 50 ensured that Melbourne would win their first game in South Australia since Round 2, 2001. (en) * Still lacking their three first choice forwards, Melbourne again struggled to score and were torn apart by the Eagles' embarrassment of riches. West Coast restricted the Demons to a point in the first quarter, and after it took them almost six minutes to get the first goal of the game the Eagles then piled on another five to open up a match winning lead. * Melbourne matched their opponents on most of the key disposal stats, but turnover goals and an inability to find targets inside 50 cost them dearly. They managed just 30 points for the day, one of their lowest scores of the AFL era - equal to their second lowest total in 2013. (en) Brownlow Votes: Bernie Vince ( 3 votes), Scott Thompson ( 2 votes), Levi Greenwood ( 1 vote) (en) * Melbourne's 12th straight loss, dating back to midway through the previous season, saw them back in last place. Coach Paul Roos had shuffled his side, sending Jeremy Howe to the backline and both Lynden Dunn and James Frawley forward. Dunn had form as an attacker, but it was the first time Frawley, the former All Australian full-back, had played a whole game up front. * Rain made scoring difficult. There were heavy falls before the match and more during the game. It contributed to a first quarter with just 10 points scored, one goal to the Giants and none to Melbourne. It was the first Melbourne game to have less than 10 points scored in total in the first quarter since Round 12, 1961. * The error-strewn match remained tight throughout the day, with both times committing terrible skill errors. Melbourne pulled in front during the third quarter, and again in the opening seconds of the last but the Giants' endeavour won out and they dominated the tackle count despite also comfortably winning the disposals. * After James Frawley kicked his first goal as a forward early in the last, the Giants took over and booted five of the last six goals to win comfortably. (en) * For the first time, Paul Roos coached against his old premiership coached side. * Sydney began the game scoring 2 early goals, before Shannon Byrnes kicked the first major of the night for Melbourne from a free kick. * Melbourne and Sydney both had patches of dominating play throughout the first quarter with many missed opportunities. However late in the first quarter Sydney were able to score consecutive goals and run away with a 21 point lead. * In a sloppy second quarter filled with hard tackling but many errors from both sides, Melbourne were able to keep Sydney to a goalless quarter, the first time against any team since round 21, 2012. Melbourne too were inefficient with their forward 50 entries however, only managing a single goal through Chris Dawes. * The second half saw both sides launch take more fluent football from both sides. However Sydney's class allowed them to capitalise on more scoring opportunities than Melbourne. They outscored the Demons 4 goals to 2 up to the midway point of the final quarter. * A goal from debutant Christian Salem regained some hope of a comeback, before Sydney retaliated with one more goal of their own. From many missed opportunities in the final quarter Sydney unconvincingly hopped away to a 31 point win.

However a string of 10 consecutive goals from Hawthorn destroyed any chance of Melbourne displaying another promising pre-season match. * Hawthorn would only continue to dominate Melbourne with contested possessions for the rest of the game as they extended the margin beyond 3 figures in front of a full attendance at Casey Fields. (en) * Melbourne started the match similar to their game-plan from 2 weeks ago by maintaining possession of the ball. However Geelong's midfield pressure was too good for Melbourne to gain territory with and hence they were able to continuously rebound the ball back inside their forward 50 to take a 23 point lead at half-time. * Melbourne fought back in the second quarter by finding running loose players and gathering momentum. Trailing by 17 points midway through the second quarter they were able to kick 2 super-goals in a row through Viv Michie and Bernie Vince to lead for the first time in the game. * Geelong however managed to re-control Melbourne's running momentum and kick the next 5 goals in a row to drag the match out of Melbourne's reach. * Melbourne managed to fight back in the final quarter keeping Geelong goalless and scoring 1 supergoal and 2 goals, but it happened too late in the game when Geelong were in cool down mode. * Despite Geelong dominating the inside 50 count 62-31, Melbourne did manage to beat them in the disposal count 444-350 (en) Brownlow Votes: Nathan Jones ( 3 votes), Dustin Martin ( 2 votes), Dom Tyson ( 1 vote) (en) Brownlow Votes: Dan Hannebery ( 3 votes), Kieren Jack ( 2 votes), Nathan Jones ( 1 vote) (en) Brownlow Votes: Tom Liberatore ( 3 votes), Stewart Crameri ( 2 votes), Dom Tyson ( 1 vote) (en) Debut for MFC: Daniel Cross ( ), Viv Michie ( ), Dom Tyson ( ), Bernie Vince ( ) (en) |

| rdfs:comment | The 2014 Melbourne Football Club season was the club's 115th year in the VFL/AFL since it began in 1897. On the back of three seasons stemming back to 2011, Melbourne underwent changes to its football department in 2013. The most significant of these changes included the appointment of 2005 premiership coach Paul Roos for two seasons (with an option of a third season). It also saw the temporary appointment of former Essendon CEO, Peter Jackson, as Melbourne's new CEO for two seasons and the appointment of former Bernie Naylor Medalist Glen Bartlett as president.
