Was great reading in the training thread this week that we didn’t practice goal kicking much. Wtf is wrong with the dumb [censored] running this club? I don’t care if we don’t have all the behind the scenes ins and outs, some things are just blatantly obvious and could be fixed by a [censored] retarded chimp at this point!

How much longer do the coaches get to cruise and collect a pay cheque?

    9 free kicks to none to start the game, this sport is a farce nowadays 

    Talk to the Melbourne players about the way they're tackling. The frees are there.

    Interesting that BT said from the start that you have to aim at left post at our end and we have missed right 3 times. Nothing wrong with Lewis’s action they just can’t read the breeze. Petty misses as well. Unprofessional by our forward coaches it looks to me. 

    It does seem laughable. BT as painful as he is, has a point and its basic knowledge. Astonishing nobody in the team seems to be able to work it out.

    The set shot routines from professional afl players at our team is a flat out disgrace. Beyond over it.

    Where did that woman umpire come from? WA by any chance? She is fricken clueless & has no feel for the game. We have lost this already. Complete joke of a football team the MFC.

    What did people expect? We have nothing to play for and very little pride as a club. They've mentally checked out and we don't have the type of leadership that can change it mid-game IMO. If anything is to change in this game it will come from other players like May, Salem, Frost or even ANB. Boys club runs through the whole MFC still.

    Which was BS, they'd been out for a half hour or so before the main session started.

    But heh, who needs facts when we can just let our confirmation bias run riot.

    Umpiring has been pathetic but our performance has been diabolical. Oliver should be dropped.

    Performance in front of goals and some loose checking by some down back but the umpiring has, as usual, been diabolical.

    When was the last time we saw the MFC get so many easy decisions paid our way like the Eagles in that first quarter?  Over the shoulder, play on immediately when it clearly isn't, chopping the arms, rough tackle....and on it goes.  Many of those when our players are running forward out of position and the Eagles get the easy flip out the back with free players everywhere.

    I’m at the ground. There is no breeze.

    Goodwin is the right man. Everything will be fine next year. Injuries are why we can’t kick goals or won’t practice our skills. Our game plan is perfect for finals. Never mind if we don’t make finals. Finishing 17th is understandable and acceptable. Nothing to see here.

    Perhaps not at ground level, but the flags would seem to indicate otherwise.

    Genuinely made me laugh.

    Meanwhile Darling just shat it through easily from the same spot we've missed 4 shots from.

    Goodwin must be sweating.

    So Darling gets their first shot at that end and aims left post and goals!

    ANB fumbles. I’m shocked. He’s such a clean player.

      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.
