GAME DAY - Round 7

Featured Replies

Play Pedersen as ruckman next week.

Who cares about the hit outs, all are ruckmen are useless around the game, at least Pedersen can kick and mark.

 

Nobody seems able to kick any distance in the forward line

 

yes but in the light of 1973-1987, it's hardly a usable quote any more, surely!

That's an idiotic comment.


Hawks are treating us with absolute contempt - they just push off our tackles without raising a sweat and know they don't have to pressure us, just sit back and wait for us to turn it over then sprint forward into an open 50.

 

We're behind the ball again, literally but also metaphorically.

I think the modern game has gone past Roos.

Our problem in 2011 was that quick teams would destroy us, no matter how hard we defended.

It's still an issue 4 years later.

Our midfield essentially plays the role entirely of tagger. Our mids aren't damaging enough, so why tag them?

We break down coming out of defense.

We become pedestrian whenever a team gets a run on.

Our leadership is abhorrent.

Our skills are deplorable.

We are still a bad, bad football club.

Good luck, Jackson!

Well. you would have to think that we will be able to run the 2nd half out. The hawks have run hard all game. And we have barely bothered.

They must tire... and then we will strike! Right? Rope-a-dope?


Clarkson would be furious about Hawthorn today, they've been ordinary.

We are just less than a football side. Even Dermott is trying hard not to bully us in commentary.

Apart from McDonald we don't have a single winner on the ground

It's sad that after so many years and so many drafts we are still unable to field a team of AFL standard

Hartung... 15 disposals 1 Goal 100% Disposal Efficiency :blink:

Only against us

Dear Melbourne FC Twitter account,

I'm well aware of the scores. I wish you spent less time telling me how bad we are doing and more time telling me what is wrong with Salem #useless

Kindest Regards

I think Garland has played well.

Garlett has played his role.

Havent noticed Jones much. Tyson has had very little impact on the game all year.


Are we wearing concrete boots, they are running so much harder and quicker than us. It's glaryingly obvious.

Too many out there are a liability, and with Salem and Hogan added to the list, injuries are starting to decimate us. We aren't good enough to be missing 6 or 7 best 22 players.

That's not Paul Roos fault.

Roos is doing a good job with this lot, they are just sub par football players.

We've shanked our drafting the past decade, what do you expect Roos to do with this lot?

The only players that resemble AFL players on our list - are those that Roos drafted.

Vandenberg looks a level above most our other players most weeks.

Paul Roos footy is boring as [censored]

How the hell dos he expect to attract members with this [censored]. I wonder if he takes input from Goodwin and McCartneyy or if he thinks hes too perfect with his pathetic 'lets kick no goals every week' game plan

This is duller than last years Grand Final I'm afraid

Love the way Vanders is throwing himself at the contest in our fwd50.

Really working hard.


Has Tyson had a touch?

Yes, that kick on the back flank where brayshaw was open for 10 seconds, ignored him, put himself under pressure, kicked smothered resulting in a hawks goal. Sick of his shithouse disposal week in, week out

Our backline is the afl equivalent of the Russian front...

Edited by Wadda We Sing

high time some of senior players put their hand up tyson jones viv shocking not competive at all

Get fair dinkum Viv has played 10 games and has been given the job on Mitchell. Jones or Bernie should be on him. Stupid match up.

 

The toump ain't the quickest....

Slow hands too . Arrgh

Cant wait for the usual suckholes to come on here after the game to tell us how we really aren't that bad, and showed some positive signs,Hawks are a good side, we are young and inexperienced, low on confidence etc etc etc.

MFC are not making me regret buying whiskey instead of a membership.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
