Is Gawn struggling with the captaincy? 
He’s having a shocker.

The opposite of give a guy a rap.

First half pros & cons

Pros: Viney, Viney, Viney

Cons: how long you got?

 

Geez, I haven't seen Gawny play a game like this for ages. He seems crook or something.


Better but still wasteful. 

Surely Stafford is on thin ice.  no forward structure last season looks like its continuing here.

 

Despite the woeful first half, if we’re still in the game at 3/4 time, I think we’ll run over the top of them

Yeah something's off. Looks very lethargic.

Absolutely ****house!! Seems like the lads don't want to be there.

I'd wager most of them actually don't want to be there and I don't blame them. Pointless playing AFL under the circumstances.

Only three highlights. Performance of Viney, Lockhart and Pickett.

Performance of Gawn, brayshaw, TMac, Tomlinson, Oliver, Melksham, Brown, etc has been pathetic.

Spargo and OMac definitely have some compromising photos of Goodwin... 

I know it’s in fashion to beat on OMac but he’s been very good. Has done more than May and Lever


So many player’s disposals have been terrible, but Hibberd’s have been nothing short of damaging to us. 
 

I’m annoyed that this season stoppage is going to take the heat off Goodwin. He’ll likely stay coach till 2021, by sheer default. I cannot wait till we have a real one.

Oscar has kept Darling to 2 possessions 

Oliver, Brayshaw and Gawn are MIA.


After watching the first half, I'm certain the team has the coronavirus.

The symptoms are all there:

- Fatigue (walking around)

- Coughing (up the ball)

- Fever (explains the poor decision making)

Hoping for a full recovery in time to make the finals this year...

Honestly... Ive hated Goody's game plan since he implemented it. Can look amazing when it clicks. Dominating the game but bombing into the forward lines followed by the easiest transition for opposition goal is terrible to watch. So frustrating.

Remember when we had Paul Roos who was defence first and focused on reducing fumbles. Wtf happened to that? How did we 'transition' to this chaos ball rubbish?

My husband said he looks sick. Maybe he’s not well (no Corona jokes). But it’s the worse game I’ve seen him play for some time.

  • 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.
