    And seriously Frost! How the [censored] can u argue that [censored]!

    17-3 center clearences.. [censored] disgusting our mids

     

    That was not a push in the back free kick, btw.

    Our midfield are shocking.  BEaten in every contest, not covering dangerous opp players.

    Sheesh

    Allowing man bun stick man to kick 4 in that quarter?

    And that’s the winner. 

    Goodwin make a move. Seriously this coach! 

    Biggest fraud in the entire industry. Been saying it for ages.


    We would’ve won this game an hour ago if we could even halve centre clearances. Our centre bounce work has been pathetic.

    Clarry's finish today has been mostly shizen other than one easy short pass inside 50 that found a target.

    Seriously need to fix that or he'll be known as a ball getting beast but at the same time a turnover king offsetting the good work.

    I reckon Gus is gone.  And T-Mac also.  Time to trade both.  Seriously flawed teasers who will never take us to the promised land.

    Game over.

    Oliver, Gawn, Harmes, Brayshaw..

    All [censored] terrible!!

    I’m going to give Gawn a break. Oliver has also been horrible. Dumb handballs, unaccountable, now two way running. 

    Our midfield needs an absolute rocket. The worst performance I’ve seen from them all year, which says a lot.

    Need to have serious look at the midfield. The centre clearance stats are killing a team that supposedly has a dominant ruckman.

    Like our forward line and the gameplan it doesn't work


    How can someone that looks like that and is named Eric be dominating us like he is? Eric!

    Mate it was a clear push. Had 2 hands on his back.

    Oliver was clearly held by the arm and unable to contest the ball, but no holding the man for Melbourne players. On the other hand a Brisbane player gets brushed and wins a free kick. Rubbish, umpires.


    This is just so typical at no stage could you have any confidence. The good aspect at some stage there need to be acceptance the last seven years of rebuild has been a farce. Same mistakes happening for years it never changes. Putting aside school yard errors the over possessing of the football particularly in the middle is pathetic. Whilst Goodwin is coach expect many more years of this garbage. Being bottom three is about right.

    Stoppage coaches instructions: If we win the ball in a pack everyone stand completely still and make sure you handball to someone with at least two opponents on them. Combined iq of this club is well below average, well well below, coaches especially.

    Midfield are getting a toweling. Coach has to swing a change. Sticking a tackle in the middle might help. Max is on one leg. Couldn’t really jump for half that quarter. Not until it warmed up a bit. We shoot ourselves in the foot too often 

     

    I can wear getting beat ,but to chuck it in like some seem to be doing ps me off

    Hipwood looks like a background extra from Muriel's Wedding.

    • 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.
