Didn't realise Brayshaw and Oliver were late outs? 

I swear to god they didn’t touch the footy this game.

We are stuffed. We look completely devoid of any confidence and poise. Lost all our contested ball winning aggression. This season looks gone.

Jones is finished. I’m sorry mate but if you can’t snap for goal on your left from 40 out and even get it to the goal square then it’s time to move on.

 

I've lost my stream but sounds like they're out of sorts

Poor mental strength. It's either 'panic stations' or if they've managed to put together some nice play for a while it's 'all good now, so let's ease off'

DO WE HAVE A MIDFIELD OUT THERE??!!

Is Viney playing?

Nah, haven’t seen the real Jack for nearly three years now.

This is going to turn ugly, we are now playing without a midfield. 

Still not winning ball at the contest. Where's the hardness gone ?

 

Swans get 3 soft goals due to our fumbling turnovers. Max keeps putting it down Swans players throats in the middle & who is playing on Alir Alir? Make him accountable FFS.

There fixed it.

Mids need to lift.  No doubt about it. 

On the flip side we took our chances when we were presented with them.  We haven't done that at all this season, so that was good to see.

Our two way running still needs work, especially with their run and carry from half back.  We aren't playing well, but plenty of players can improve.  Not over yet.

He’s doing a lot of faux tough guy fighting. 

We have awful leadership. 


Sydney's highest score in 12 games is 93... we give up 34 [censored] points in a quarter. Hore and Fritta only two defenders that can hold their head high

Our intensity is gone. Our midfield is shot. Our season is on a knifes edge here.

We look a bit scared again. Don't want contact and crapping ourselves and going to ground constantly.

Hate to say it but we've reverted to type this season...back to the bruise free Demons. Last year was an aberration on the physicality front (even then it wavered at times). 

Seriously..... we just chip the ball into the 50 with no attempt to spot anyone up... no leads! Can’t understand it.

Horrible start to this game.

Pruess, Max and Hore look ok... that’s about it so far ?


Letting Sydney score 5 goals for the quarter when they look as rubbish as we do. Well done. 

How long does someone get to correct how easily we get scored against?

Reckon Roos would take the job again?

Fumbles fumbles fumbles

They watered the ground before the game despite it raining in Sydney for months

Tactic!

Our hands are woeful in the dry,  we're f...d in the wet

We’re so reactive.

WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS??

 

They have almost 110 touches to quarter time. Double ours.

They have 13 shots on goal from 17 entries. 9 scores from 17 entries.

They have double our uncontested possessions. 

They have 13 more contested possessions.

Despite having so much more of the ball, they have laid as many tackles.

That was an annihilation.

To be fair, the kick was on his non-preferred, so it's to be expected.

  • 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.
