Night of passion with my boyfriend or watching this game in the hopes we could make an effort out of it. Gee I’m an idiot

Ā 

Petracca just did not go hard enough. That sums him up. Christian you are so frustrating.Ā 

Ugh next week is so so important. Massive, the loser will rightly so cop more heat.Ā 

Thank god I was out and only got home to watch the final term.Ā

Ho Hum.
S'pose we'll just have to redeem ourselvesĀ next week instead.


Ā 


Come on Dees. Get your s*** in a pile.

Playing like Freo did the year year after they first played finals. Not so much a Premiership hangover as a played finals one.

Prepared to cut KK and May some slack because it's their first game for us, but Tracc seriously needs a spell at CaseyĀ 

Pretty clear now with decent sampls size that were just not where we thought we were. ListĀ is youngĀ and seems to have far more gaps than we realised - WC started the misery and all clubs inc Bris have followed suit and showed us up for pace and with getting behind our back 6 consistently.Ā 

Much work to do to even salvage a top 8 spot let alone any grand delusions at this stage. Could be corrected by later in year but personally I cant see how. Cats went andĀ fixed their holes we’ve just viewed WC loss as a bad game and tried to doĀ same thing again without getting any fwd pressure in and a backman who we then play with two of the back men we wanted gone.. woeful and shame but it’s a LONG way off let’s not kid - we’re 8-13 at best I’d say.Ā 

Ā 

Hoped LW was aberration but gutĀ feelĀ was that it wasn’t - esp when blues nearly Knocked port off.. oh dear - we need 5-6 feisty pressure players at least over next year or two, or a miracle change in style.Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

Too slow. Too unskilled.

We’re just not that good a side. We can play better than this but who would sayĀ our ceiling is as high as a team likeĀ Collingwood or WCE. We’re a mile off.

I also can’t helpĀ noticingĀ how much smaller we look than the oppo.Ā We look like a bunchĀ of shrimps comparedĀ to most sides.

There will be those that giggle and deride this thread as over -reactive. They'll say we need to review in cold light of tomorrow.

They're denialist. This is crud.

Actually...we aspire to crud. This is is devestational.

Even rubbish is useful if understood.

I ...just don't understand this club.

Nicely put.Ā 

For me this in many ways is more unacceptable than anything in the previous 8 years.

Now what I just saw is beyond a joke.

You recall we won two finals last year right?

I do and then when we came up against an actual contender we got flogged and we haven’t won a game since.Ā 

The team we beat in a final just flogged us like a dead horse.Ā 

We won nothing in 2018 and 2019 looks like it will be much the same.Ā 

Live ladder has us just above Norf forĀ wooden spoon with % of 47.4

Absolutely squibbed it. He has been awful. Not improving...a footballer going nowhere! I want him to be good but it ain’t happening

Thats was a commitment act.Ā Ā  And he is not totally committed, and so is not fully focused, because of it.

He will never get any better as long as he does not fully commit to the team and to the game.Ā Ā  Tracca thinks far too much about tracca.

Ā 

Mind you, he has a few mates doing similar this season.

Fritta is disappointing so far.Ā  I think Fritta needs a spell at Casey.Ā  He is well off his own standards.

I would persevere with Hunt, but push him forward.

I wouldĀ  drop Petracca now with Fritta, so they both can sort themir heads out with the VFL.

Its time for Keilty, and Stretch again.

Keep Lockhart in.

Sparra back to Casey.

Ā 

I want to see a quicker running Mfc team next week, against the Bummers.


Um ...Hawkins had enough time to give away a goal - just stood in the goal square, waited for the second gamer to arrive, and give him the ball for a goal.

Cones at training do better than we are doing.

Oliver - star, never stop trying

Braywhaw, Hibberd, Melksham and a few others

Ā 

126 to 40 - and we have had nearly DOUBLE the inside 50s...

Shocking

The Soft Underbelly is still in charge...

This Club will go nowhere without more ruthless decisionsĀ 

this is just garbage

Check out round 4 last year.

We've had 72 to 48 inside 50s, cats have been super efficient, we will be fine.

  • 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.Ā  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.Ā  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.Ā  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.Ā

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
