Very lucky the season is suspended.

 

Best news yet

 

I guess if there's any consoliation during these strange and uncertain times, it's that there is and always will be a constant in our lives: the utter ineptness of the Melbourne Football Club.

OMac playing well, at least. Don't think he's lost a contest and has looked far more proactive.


Goodwin is lucky that no coaches can be sacked because there is no money to pay out contracts. There is no discernible system or game plan and skill development is obviously not a priority.

Same old Melbourne they are careless can't hit a target by hand or foot. Viney the only one having a go. DISGRACEFUL! Goodwin is finished.

4 disposals per game?


If Goody mentions 'connection with our fowards' I think I'm going to spew up.

Into his third year now and its still 'chaos ball' (a term I really hated and even moreso when Goody confirmed that's what the game plan was)

He can run all day apparently. 

Season over, AFL have alot to answer for if last nights events are true.

#Pathetic

If we lose this, and the season is cancelled entirely, we would finish winless - which, to be fair, was a distinct possibility if we continued to play like this.

Didn’t think I’d care given the current situation, but geez that was frustrating. Mainly because it’s the exact same way we came undone last year.

Kicking goals would help, but we’ve been slaughtered defensively since Roos walked out the door. Can recruit all the defenders in the world, makes no difference when whatever the team structure is just let’s them waltz down the field at their leisure. 
 

10 haphazard inside 50s v a few open forward line entries with no pressure. Same old same old. 

West Coast a class above. Whenever finals come round, they'll be front and centre, just so much talent from one end to the other.

 

How did the dud centre bounce straight to Naitanui not get recalled? That was just a joke.  

Great to see our skills have improved.  Can't remember the last time we had a side that could do the basics off the game well

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.
