 Lockhart and Wagners showing a bit which is al least something

Wagners not in system long enough to know what not to do maybe !! Still have a little footy smarts .

They aren't the answer though.

 
 

ANB....hang your head in shame.

This just seems like 2007 all over again. Such a disappointment after such a great season. What happened

Yep, its tough at the moment..

Ahh yes…Goody's paddock. Empty our backline so the forwards from the opposite can do whatever they want. Not quite Pagan's paddock but it's a gameplan I guess?

How was that not holding the ball to petracca, then nibbler gets dragged down never taking possession 

 


Awwww TMac ankle..

McDonald ankle. This would be a disaster if our season weren't already a disaster anyway. 1 disaster + 1 disaster = 1 disaster. So there's that.

Definitely both frees unrewarded.

We have the worst fullback/centre half back combo in the league history

Fixed :)

Oscar is a [censored] spud! Amazing how he has already played 60 AFL games...


Does our backline have a clue?

It’s funny you say that, I made a comment back in 2017 I think it was that Hunt showed an X factor that we were missing and that it was probably because he hadn’t had time to learn to conform to a plan rather just trusted his instinct. He’s lost that now it seems. Fritch seems to be the same, not a shadow of himself from last year. Will probs be the same with these young blokes.

 

No other way to say it we just have too many substandard players on the park. Kk, wagners, frost, Omac.

McDonald injury just will provide another excuse

  • 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.
