Jones stood up>> in the last 2 mins.

His out on the foul when we needed a goal was just what we needed

Kicking 18 behinds is not coaching related

14 behinds MAT, 4 were 'rushed'

Worst disposal by a captain of the MFC. Nathan Jones hang your head in shame.

Had a few opportunities for career defining moments and he fluffed them. Sums up the side really.


Don’t know why we are playing Spargo over Kent

    We are mentally weak. Too many players go missing when the game gets tough. Unless Goodwin is kicking it for them can’t see how he’s to blame. Jones last quarter proves there is no excuse why he was weak as [censored] jogging between contests for the first three. Reset next week  and hopefully someone stands up and decides to take the game by the scruff of the neck.

    Port Adelaide, the second Geelong game, and tonight. All games we 100% should have won but found a way to butcher it.

    Each of them in different ways, but the bottom line is we have officially choked away top 4, and top 8 is looking 50/50 right now.

    Goodwin must go! Hopeless loss! 

    I am gone. I will be sending membership back and am presently collecting all clothing etc to put in good Sammy bin. The homeless guy said he will report me for putting rubbish in the bin. 

     

    We lose two two games to the cats by a few points now they sneak into the 8 . Well done you bunch of clowns

    What has changed for hunt’s run and dash to be only seen once in the biggest ground. This must be coaching but I don’t understand why he would be selected then.....

    Someone needs to tell that drop kick coach of ours Spargo should never be picked ahead of Kent. Cost us at least 3 goals with his selfish play.

    No composure. Panic after panic. 

    Our culture has to grow out of the losing FEAR.

     

    Composure is a must, in those ,little',,,  'critical',  moments.

    Jones. So flaky in a game that mattered so much

    Neal-Bullen can [censored] right off

    Hunt inclusion was a failure 

    I feel sick

    We needed a sight screen behind our forward line. We obviously couldn’t see Aliir all day

    Tacky comment.

    The umpires were [censored] in all four (both geelong games)

    Swans are an aging hack team who can't kick big scores to save themselves & we gift them 4 points with that [censored] goal kicking effort. Pathetic MFC.

    The lack of composure spreads thru the team.  Spargo did not start the lacking of composure.

    It was evident thru most of the game.

    Hunt is a dud. He got off the leash early in his career because no one paid him any attention.

    I love Jones but he should drop himself. 

    Sad but correct. No speed and takes 2nd or 3 option then gets caught.

    I cant see a serious future with him in the team. Started on the wing a lot also suggests goodwins thinking.

    • 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.
