What the hell has happened to our inside contested ball work. Our pressure is non existent. Teams just waltz away from pack situations against us.

We won a free kick in our defence so do you know what would be a good idea, not to kick it to a three on one. But of course we’re Melbourne so.....

That's why frost wasn't getting games.

It's amazing how often I see Oscar McDonald 50cm away as a bloke takes a mark. His obsession with his man is unhealthy. He gets dragged up the ground too often, and doesn't leave his man to impact the contest in d50 when he should.

That is true to an extent chook.  He needs to impact more often at the drop and take a few more risks off his man and back himself.

Smashing us in clearances.

Still reckon he adds more than he takes away. Jetta and Frost our best 2 defenders this half IMO.

Players either guarding space or two or more players tackling one means teams can just waltz away from packs. No trust in this team.

Another Goodwin move. Bring in Hannan who has done SFA all year for Viney when you have Tyson, who all year you have refused to play in his rightful spot as an inside mid. 

Honestly this coach and this team are infuriating.

Good lord this has St Kilda game written all over it..

They beating us to the ball and their young kids are just running around us with ease. 

Again Oscar making an average player look like Wayne Carey.

[censored] off Lewis!

Wheres Jones? Need the the captain to step up!

Ordinary first half.

Absolute Garbage,

i don’t care if we come out and win by 60 points , we are still a [censored] football side 

We’re a stupid football side. Basic errors costing us. 

I don’t like our chances if it ends up being a close one.

1. Midfielders are getting absolutely smashed. Jones' defensive awareness is embarrassing. 

2. JKH is a liability.

3. Garlett will never learn and doesn't apply enough pressure.

4. We kick to contested areas and allow Footscray to waltz it out.

5. If the Dogs start clunking their marks, we are due for heartbreak.

6. We continue, week in and week out, play into the opposition's hands when going forward.

7. We rarely if ever have loose players to kick the ball too in transition.

Goodwin needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat if we’re gonna win this. Very similar game styles and the Dogs looking more composed leaving the contest.

JKH career over.

Kicking to too many outnumbered contests.

Our disposal by hand and foot is putrid today.

same mistakes, different week. Are they being coached?

We are the easiest team to beat. 

Pathetic. 

 

Seen much of Carlton this year Jaded?

Sam Frost. Runs back to the goal and leaves Schache free: goal. Kicks to Gawn but in a 1 on 3. Johannisen clears, goal. 

If we lose this (possible), it'll be because of events like the above - and not only Frost. Just too many turnovers and sloppy disposals.

Posted

we're def not looking like the better side. Their attacking thrusts look far faster and more dangerous. Sadly, I think we're going down here. We could lose this by 6 goals

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
