We’re lucky Hawthorn are shizenhouzen. Need Jeffy to slot a couple, he’s been looking almost there.

Our effort vs reward has to be the worst in the league. Too many unskilled footballers lacking smarts.

...and then we run out of juice.

 

It's not the skills per se, they have the skills. It's the between-the-ears-skills, the lack of confidence, the second guessing, the don't-[censored]-this-upping, the pressure (perceived or otherwise) ... every player is only too aware of what's not working, and the pressure and expectation that that brings is almost impossible to ignore.

The big mindf*ck.

Trac’s set shots are laughably bad for an afl footballer. He’s been good otherwise and has an impact whenever he is near the ball. Time to start getting him up into the midfield instead and play to his strength.

Our set shots in general have been poor all year. We don’t seem to have anyone who can reliably kick straight. TMac did last year, but he doesn’t touch the ball anymore...

Garlett has been dangerous. He’s generated more opportunities today than all our other forwards combined have all season!

I don’t want to labor it but Trac “looking dangerous” and actually doing something of value over an entire game or season are two completely different things.

He doesn’t work hard enough/isn’t fit enough/not good enough to play midfield or he would be by this time in his career.

If you're posting from the ground then it's the 4G networks fault. 

You sure it’s not that “server issue” you mentioned during the week?

I don’t like to bag players too much but I’m really not sure what ANB contributes. Hope he has a big second half but he is so fumbly. Just runs around doing nothing 

Terribly out of form like so many.  Cupboard bare at Casey

when we knock it out in a tackle its holding the man. When they knock it out on us its dropping the ball

Yep from watching on TV they can dispose of it how they want whilst being tackled, they also throw it a hell of a lot. 


Yahoo!  Forward line had outnumbers and win ground ball ....can't recall that in a while

Jeffy's too scared to have a shot off his own boot now after that earlier effort........not a bad thing.


2nd time...first Joe the Goose in like what seems like forever!  T-mac first mark in a while also

T Mac’s skills are just...not good.

is he playing with injections to a foot ?

 

I just realised I paused the game earlier and was 3 minutes behind. I was wondering why comments weren’t making much sense.

Jefffyyyyy!

  • 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.
