Sheesh, some people need their one eye attended to.

    There needs to be more intent. Take the first option, back yourself. Theres too much give it to the other guy and let him deal with the problem attitude.

    It's really simple.

    We have too many players who aren't good enough.

    (Also a few who aren't quick enough.)

    You mean like Lewis was pilloried for doing last week?

    Yep.

    Without getting into a discussion of that, the difference here is that we are doing it at stoppages, which is causing our problems.

    I just dont understand the lack of intensity or pressure.

     

    No excuse.

    Haven't had intensity since pre QB and haven't had pressure all year. 

    As someone said above this side is running on pure talent (from some) and getting sweet F all from it's coaches.

    Frost has the same shortcomings as 3 years ago. Hannan should not have played. JKH deserved a game based on vfl form but won't play again.

    haha yes this.  Anyone who thinks Tyson would fix this is definitely on the spectrum. 

    Maybe when the AFL decrees that handballs to feet are worth points we'll bring back Tyson.

    The trubble is buzzy,  Hannan adds nothing or hasnt so far and we are losing stoppage clearances badly.  I can only assume they are getting half their goals from those and the other from our dumbass turnovers.  T-Mac, Lewis and Frosty the obvious ones.

    They have 11 rookies to our 6.  We should spiflicate them!

    Dogs have one of the worst 3rd quarter records in the comp.

     

    Let see how much we want it...

    I’ve only seen the second quarter, but my take is that dogs are getting repeat inside 50s due to poor decisions and kicking. There was a point where it looked like we were breaking the game open but we let them back in and it gave them confidence. 

    The game has had a lot of ebs and flows, we need to make the most of the time we’re on top.

    Only reason we aren't behind is they haven't converted. Did you watch the Saints game? Its pretty much Verbatim.

    I just can’t believe our lack of defensive pressure 

    We won’t win at the G with this zone; it leaves too much space open wide on the wings and waiting for transitional ball movement 

    Been tha same for over 12 months

    Dogs have 11 of their best 22 out apparently. But yes, 1 pt win would do.

    We are playing terrible today 

    Getting close to turning off, yet again.

    Not good enough.

    • 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.
