Without stating the obvious - every time we go inside the inside 50 we butcher it.

We are way off. Mix of everything but the timing is just wrong right now.

 

Yep no need for Preuss what so ever. 

Geez we have an amazing brains trust in charge of selections. 

The skills coach may also want to reconsider his position too. 

What a joke. J Wagner has turned has turned it over probably 4 times. Our delivery inside 50 is abysmal. Petracca Fritsch, Spargo, Stretch all pathetic. 

Brayshaw electing to bump instead of tackle. Oliver stupid free. Leadership non existent.

This team FMD...

They need to turn this around asap. Giants should be 40 pts up already/


We should be 6 goals down.  This begs the question yet again re Inside 50 delivery. 

Are our players complete morons or are the coaches just inept at building a forward strategy? 

I suspect a nicely balanced combo.

Has happened all season and doesn’t seem to be getting corrected either. 

I'd kill for that delivery even 1 time out of 3 attempts. Currently it's about 1 in 8

What is this all about?????!

You are a [censored] [censored] Oliver!


Congratulations AFL....you have ruined this once great game. No one knows WTF is going on at all.

Another week where the players and supporters have no idea what the umpiring is about.

Well , we’re still in the game. Don’t deserve to be. But we are.


That was an embarrassing umpiring display. Two umpires needing to be told how to count.

Anything less than bang on skill today and we're kaput 

Cough skill cough.


It’d be good if our midfield could get a touch or lay a tackle. Absolutely pathetic effort so far. If you don’t have the ball, then tackle. Losing both counts is unacceptable and comes down purely to work rate and effort.

Well if they had kicked straight it would be over

Have they turned up the ground loudspeaker

Can't hear myself think

Jones 2 disposals Brayshaw 1 disposal Oliver 4 Viney..

Where is our mids!????

Nope.

We have so many underperforming players. If our mids can get more ball we might actually go alright. 

Brayshaw has gone so far backwards.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

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.
