Harmes should never of been down back. Hes a tagging grunt. Leave him on their best mid.

    Where is the pressure on every player.  they need to go 1;1 across the field and beat their opponent.  We might lose but its make them accountable.  

     

    Why in packs we stand around 2 feet from the action and ignore those outside!!

    Im sorry but the Harmes down back experiment simply does not work. 

    Get him in the [censored] midfield Goodwin 

    Steady, last quarter change


    Our blokes just do not stay with their opponent when we don't have the ball. Application not fitness.

    This is why you don’t make a video over Summer, explaining how much you have improved, before the season starts. 
     

    the opposition love it.

    Thought we might struggle a bit. You can't name Bedford and Pickett as debutantes and keep ANB in without a worry.

    Don't forget "big boy" Spargo

    That must have hurt the umpire


    Viney lucky to get the 50 penalty. Burned two open players in forward 50  and about to bomb it long again.

    Gus still has no defensive bone in his body.

    Of all our inside kids happiest for him to go at the end of the year

    I hope Gil calls the season right now. At least we can say we COULD have won this/improved this year etc. 

    Here we go again   dejavu  2019    good bye goody

    It’s very concerning how easy we are to play against. It looks like unintelligent football on all levels. Ground, coaching box etc

    They are practising social distancing.

    Intelligence Clint. Not surprising given who is at the head of it.

    Too many players with no impact Spargo and ANB (even though he kicked a lucky goal). Brayshaw is probably the most disappointing doesn't provide any defensive running and doesn't want to lay a tackle. 

    TMAC's move him to the backline.

    On a positive note, Langdon is exactly what we were missing and Lockhart has a future.

    Had more fun watching the old lady trying to cut in line at Costco this morning. She got roasted by half the line.

     

    In fact they would put up a better team than this.

    I’m glad Jack kicking that goal because he didn’t turn inboard at all with players available to him. Is that a directive to the players?

    Sack the goal kicking coach. F$&king hopeless. ?

    Eagles have loose men everywhere.

    • 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.
