Its not my system. Its Champion datas. Its also now supercoach points.

Not joking. 5 points. Only players that get injured in the first 10 minutes finish with that score.

Agreed.  Ineffective kicks are a Spargo forte 

 
 

Bedford and Pickett all to come out of today. 

We are way off it, just a dismal performance.

27 points flatters us.

    How are the umpires still so blind? 
    the crowd noise means nothing

    Predicted it, probably all West Australians, it's the ones they haven't paid to us.

    absolutely

    The result in isolation is ok, but the performance was ****house. Anyway, it matters little at the moment.

    Yes but he wins the ball and has a crack, more than a lot of others

    Worst part of the 10 week break is that we have time to build up our hopes again.

    That allows the team to kill our hopes twice in one season.

    All of this.


    Great handball from Bedford and goal to Kozzie. Something to look forward to. 

    27 points, can already see Goodwin’s presser. “Had some great opportunities early to put scoreboard pressure on, they capitalised on a 5 minute lapse at the end of the first quarter, we weren’t efficient with out ball use. At the end of the day that last patch in the first quarter was the difference.”

    He won’t be asking for accountability, he won’t be honest that there are players that are just not doing enough. 

    FWIW Viney, Bedford, and Kozzie made that sh—show worth watching.

    @Lord Nev how's Simpson's 1 ruck idea going? Gawn getting smashed by Nik Nat AND Hickey. Making one of the best rucks in the game look like a simpleton.

    Geez imagine being the sort of person that, with everything going on, jumps on the internet to restart a footy argument.

     

    We need Yze to be coach, he has coached under the coach of the century. Goodwin is a Essendon reject a team that has done nothing for 20 years. We need Hawthorn's game plan not Essendon's.

    We are nowhere near being a contender I’m afraid. On the evidence of today - one game of course - we have not progressed at all. If anything we looked worse.
    Not  that it matters now.

    Our kicking is deplorable. 

    I have used that sentence for 15 years as my main gripe and nothing has been done to fix it.

    Didn't help today that about 14 of our players were pathetic.

    • 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.
