We’re absolutely dominating inside 50s and they are 2 points behind. It is a tough watch.

Half time for the team to work out a forward delivery system.  Fix that and we should put the pressure on. 


Very disappointing. 

Not reading what is no doubt a toilet of a thread. 

You know what? We are in front. Forward use isn't great, but we are up for the contest and Port are flooding back to choke up our entries. 

Big second half coming up.

The point is we should be 10 goals up


Freakin deplorable skills into our f50.

If we don’t fix that then the game is theirs to take. 

We should be 8 goals up except we are butchering it.

Why Jeffy isn’t playing is baffling and is hurting us. Tyson has been deplorable.

I lost it when they called that Melksham free a block.. in a one on one marking contest and he had his eyes on the ball.. My god. 

 

Nichols best on the ground in that half. closely followed by our woeful delivery into the forward line

 

Interesting quarter to say the least. Needed a big one and didn’t happen. Anyone’s guess how this will go

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
