    Landed on his side and rolled onto his back, such a poor call. The umpires are a disgrace.

    That 50 wasn't there. The downfield was an absolute farce. The fact the Oliver doesnt get a 50 when the saints player doesnt give the ball back on the full. 

    3 goals right there.

    Rubbish. All flying for the ball , no-one staying down. They think their better and it will cost them if they keep it up. 

     

    All flying for the ball, no one staying down. 

    Midfield not working hard both ways.

    Gonna be a long day.

    That 50 was %100 there. both our players infringed blatantly, you would think they would know that rule by now. 

    Hogan, Petracca and T McDonald with 9 possessions in total between them....our forward structure needs  a shake up

    St K 10 i50s 7 scoring shots. Defence working well again.....

    Well...Saints have come to play...no surprise. Can they maintain the pressure for 4/4 ? If so...we haveca problem.

    Theyre blanketting Tmac. 

    We're struggling to get at sticks...Gus aside.

    Need a much better qtr to get back ahead.

    Pretty ordinary effort from the umpires that quarter. I’ve only just calmed down from the umpiring last week. It really is turning me off the game.

    We’ve clearly got more class. Hopefully the saints coming back into that quarter is a wake up call for effort.

    Losing Lever is going to cost us ... well, whatever we might have achieved. Backline inexperienced, both individually and together.

    Killing us on the outside. Everyone flying up for the ball. Ugh. 

    We’ve missed Hogan the last 3 weeks. Anyone know when he’s back?

    The first 50 was there but the free kick in the first place wasn’t. The second 50 was a disgrace. 

    But it’s the same old problems. 18 inside 50s for 4.2. They drop numbers back and just wait for us to turn it over. Hogan, Weed and TMac can’t get any separation on their man. And laziness through the middle, especially when Gawn went off.

    Where in Mark Neeld: “didn’t see that coming “

    Love fritta.

     

    Why, why do we keep making those terrible transition hanballs like harmes just did.

    Costs us a goal.

    The umpires are rubbish but, gee, they shouldn't even be a consideration we should be miles in front of these clowns.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. 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.
