Gus one of many handballs to a phantom player this season.  Mind boggling.  Seriously need to trade.

 

Optimism meter now on 5%

 

7 plays back to back we've turned it over. These guys are brain dead 


All of a sudden we revert back to woeful skills and turnovers , to lock down second bottom on the ladder, and making sure Jordies last game is a forgettable one.

FMD our kicking has been appalling this quarter. It's like they are aiming to hit  an opponent or a spectator in the stand lace out

 

Lever is so over-rated. The number of times he turns over the ball or kicks it out on the full is atrocious. Totally unacceptable 

Fritta is literally the only forward with ANY footy smarts.


Fritz should never play backline again   We are stupid if we do

Lever by foot is just bloody hopeless.

He will, because we are.

It's the little things with the umpiring that get me.

Fritsch gets all the way back on his mark and going through his routine. Umpire then says Bailey, around 2 metres, and ah yeah, 15 gone.


Maxy why woukd you bother kicking it there?  Another rediculous habit we need  get out of our game.  The 3 foot handball inside is another criminal act.

Kicking efficiency back to season standard ...35%!

I've never seen ANB win a 50/50 ball . . . Ever. He should have accidentally won one by now

    • 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.
