Fristch is no longer afl standard unfortunately.  Has really regressed 

Move Fritsch to the forward line

 

Brayshaw gets a load of football... but how many rushed, pointless bomb-around-the-body kicks has he done tonight that have been to no advantage or straight turnovers. 

Im getting sick of seeing it... I understand the hundred handballs are tough with Tiger pressure but what about wide spread instead of 0.5m handballs to stationary teammates...

The fumbles tonight as well. FMD, what happened to “getting back to the basics.”  Watched the half time drill of picking it up off the deck, translated to nothing during game time.

Here's a stat...first four goals from 8 inside 50's. We have scored one goal from the next 23.

No one at CHF or higher to take the relief contested mark!!   Playing Weid is like playing a man down.  T-mac experiment over until he gets some resemblence of his 2018 form back.  Running at about 40% of that output/quality right now.

Time to bring Keilty in


The tigers have been garbage, but at least they kick goals more than once in a million forward 50 entries. We're lucky that we are not 100 points down, we would be against a side playing well. TMac is so horribly out of form, he can't take a trick anywhere on the ground. That moment where he tried to run off his opponent was hard to watch. 

 it is winnable but given the poor way we have been playing it would really take some effort to get up from here. just no one up forward standing up, the tigers are tearing us apart from defence and our players cannot take a mark cannot chase and cannot tackle. I think weidermans kick to jones sums up our night. even when there is no pressure our players cannot do it right.

Stretch has been really good.  13 touches, 7 of them contested, and he's generally made good decisions.  Hopefully, like others have mentioned, he gets a good run at it from here.

...and Viney burned him that Q...

Cost us 2 goals the skipper.

Needs to learn what team is...

That bloke wearing number 31 should go and hide in the stands. Has none of Barassi's courage AT ALL. The softest player I have seen in many years. You can throw the Weid in that mix. I said earlier we need our best players playing at their best and the others putting in honest efforts.  Some are but boy are some just going through the motions.

Time for these guys to stand up in last quarter. PLEASE.

Fritz is playing like he doesn't want to have the ball in his hands. He hands it off straight away to whoever is near him. Doesn't matter if it's a Melbourne player under pressure or a Richmond player or the ground. He doesn't take ownership of the ball and look for the best option. What's going on with that?

Send him forward


Hogan got more touches and score in one game then May and Weiderman combined over the last 3 weeks.

Put Weide deep...  bring jSmith up to the flank or wing...  to play between the Wing and the F50.

We need to mark the ball around the middle to calm us down from overusing it.

There is a serious lack of belief out there. We all know our players can hit a Target and can pick up the ball. We watched it for a season. 

I can see the Tiggers blowing this out in the last.

Shame as they dont deserve a percentage booster.

Our boys have chased tail all night.

With not much left in the legs, this could get very ugly in the last and the Toiges can smell blood.

Basic skill errors and no brains has killed us all night.

It is sad how quickly we have become a rabble drinking our own bathwater.?

HOW MANY [censored] TIMES ARE WE GOING TO KICK IT TO A RICHMOND DEFENDER?!?!?!?!?!

Embrace that anger WB, welcome to the dark side.

To answer your question though, ah for [censored] sake!

McDonald has to go forward this quarter... no point trying to reduce a loss

McDonald can't catch the ball in defence what makes you think he can do it forward...

 

fritter is better than what he is doing tonight ,confidence is shot like the rest of them

  • 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 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.
