where is the forward line?

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.....

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
