I hope the coaching staff can fix up our forward structure, i am sick of seeing the handball happy movements that result in turnovers.

If there are no targets up forward, i would rather see us kick the ball inside 50 and aim for the line, because at least we have a 50/50 chance of getting the ball, instead of us losing the ball and allowing the opposition to score against us

I don't sit on the fence, Saturday was horrible, but I have moved on, off to Darwin for the game to support whichever 22 the FD put on the ground, endless analysis, criticism, chest beating, hand wringing etc is not for me, being positive and moving on straightaway is.....

It is hard to any forward, no matter who he is, to kick goals when the ball isn't being won nor delivered with any great skill or consistency,

It is even harder for the forwards to kick goals when they are either a) being instructed to play across the midfield or B) playing across the midfield against instructions. I would suggest that it is more of a) than B).

Next to the Half Forward line.

Next.

If I have something constructive (in my opinion) to say I will post it, but I do not need my ego massaged by posting a 'destructive' criticism of anything connected to MFC that happens to pop into my mind at any given moment.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, and as you can see I have made no contribution to this topic apart from my comment about some of the posts being 'amusing', in my opinion of course.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but we can't replay the game and the constant analysis achieves what?

Look forward, we may get to see another debutant this weekend in Gysberts which is really exciting and the possible return of Wonna.....

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
