This has been about as bad as it gets, but the Eagles are about as bad as an opponent that we could face.

Defensive structure hasn’t been dreadful. Forward entries I have to believe must improve 

 

Wow. Spargo. Go away. 

 

Spargo is a ?

    If you can’t use the ball in today’s footy you get belted. We have 15 years of this problem. 
    Disposal skill is nearly the most important element of the game. Look at Hibberd turned over every single possession. 
    We are the worst disposal side in the AFL on the games this week.

    And I think that little number 9 has turned every ball over also. Sick of our lack of skills


    Lever is a terrible kick. Just a terrible, terrible foot-passer of the game.

    3 more basic turnovers. 
    Sorry this is trash.

    I watched both preseason games closely and our skills looked really good.

    Maybe it’s just the pressure of playing front if the parochial west coast crowd.

    Oh wait.......

    If I hear anyone mention Spargo and smart in the same sentence again I will throttle them.

    I don’t know what’s worse, Spargo’s kicking or Neeld coaching.....

    Maybe Langdon's kicking. Certainly poor today


    Hibberd, oh Hibbo!

    He'd be better off choosing handball as his first option instead of his default move of bomb it long. Can he be coached out of it or just left off the side altogether? He does get possessions it's his disposal that stinks.

    My fav backline player for many years has hit the end of the road too - farewell Nev, thanks for the memories. There were plenty of good ones.

    • 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.
