May giving Frost a mouthful at 3/4 time.

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

Mr Bana says hello.

WHY IS PETTY STILL ON HIPWOOD????

 

I’m just so disappointed that I have no faith in anyone in the box to make a move to win us a game. 

Petty still on Hipwood. All you need to know about our coaches  

Not thrilled with May’s leadership either. Been excellent but don’t abuse your teammates. Bad look.

Its Ok we are on a journey   (can hear the after match presser now)    

on the yellow brick road


Goodwin is a nothing coach, he continues to back pre-game plan hoping for his luck to turn.

Does Goodie say, "Brisbane is a quality side" or does he come clean and confess we are a crap side and a crap club?

Edited by Giles

since the sun's gone down, our skills have gone to crap with the dewy surface.

 

I have to say, what a quarter from Hipwood. I mean sometimes forwards have those times that they are just hot to trot and credit to him he was buddy like in that quarter. 

On us, centre clearances are a disgrace. Not only are we losing them but we’re losing even when we should be winning! Jones, Clarry, Brayshaw, Viney, Harmes are being murdered. 

On our gamestyle, now i’m only a fan so hardly an expert but it’s not working. The handball and play on constantly is failing, there were so many times we have perfect control of the ball and chose a speculative handball and put ourselves under pressure. We need to put the breaks on this style and prepare for 2020 with something sustainable.

Not good.

The behinds kicked by the Lions have hidden how woeful we have been. That quarter they kicked a little straighter and 6 goals.

We are what we are and that's not very good

Umps instructed to not pay us free kicks? Viney clearly held at the first bounce there. No free.

[censored] off Hipwood.


Put FROST on HIPWOOD FFS

Game over. What a [censored] waste of time this club is. Midfield has been pathetic today. Their effort around the centre bounces has been shameful - Max dominating or not.


 

Rest assured you can always be certain the MFC will spud things up with 4 to 6 spuds that spud up on game day.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
