I would really like Goodwin to get as upset as I was in that second half. 
he shows stuff all interest in a winning result, 

that second half was 2019 all over again bar the last minute or so. 
I will have no hair if this happens again

Pathetic smile on his face at the end.  Could you imagine Roos doing that?

    I didn’t get to see the game today. Do I bother watching a replay?

    Haha watch the first quarter and stop. You would think we are a chance for top 4.

    Watch the rest, you would think we are a chance for the spoon.

    We are an ordinary football team and and ordinary football club. Once again, the people in a position to actually do something about raising the intensity when the opposition does the same (i.e. the players out on the ground) failed miserably.

    I can't even be bothered looking but I'd love to know how many times this group has failed to kick a goal in the last quarter over the last few years. They just don't like the heat.

    We look like sending North Melbourne a pick between 1 and 4 for Pickett which is great.

    Our forward line is an absolute shambolic .  What use to be one of our great strengths has now been gutted and turned to [censored].

    and the only one who gets it is too nervous to kick straight..

    Stopped watching midway through the third. Could see where the game was heading happy to see we somehow won. 

    I cannot remember a team that can look like a top 4 team then a bottom two team in the space of a quarter. 

    Gary Lyon is also impossible to listen to, the constant negative comments about Melbourne (even when we were flying) is just so draining

    Surprised there hasn't been more of a mention of our inability to keep the ball inside our forward half.  Who can remember us having repeat inside 50s after the first qtr and a bit?

    I got used to no footy during lockdown. I kind of missed it, but it wasn't like I was chomping at the bit to see us back because the game against the Eagles was a painful reminder that we learnt nothing in the off-season and Goody clearly doesn't know what he's doing. 

    And here we are. Footy is back. My team just won and I'm sadder than I have been in the last 3 months because it's painfully obvious that we are a very, very average team. 

    I guess what I'm saying is that during lockdown my team was terrible but at least I couldn't see them be terrible and I could pretend they aren't, or at least it didn't matter (i.e. there are bigger things than footy etc.)

    Sigh, tough times.

    I need a drink.

    I was rapt that we teased Carlton into thinking they were a chance.  Result never in doubt!

    Thank you for the much-needed laugh.

    That was pathetic, we need at least an eight goal lead to be comfortable.

    The lack of composure in the front half still kills us, we stop when we should play-in and play-in when we should stop.

    Tom McDonald is cooked.

    Jake Melksham is cooked.

    Goodwin has no idea what he’s doing.

    Smith should never be in the back half again.

    ANB was very good.

    Hunt was very good.

    Rivers is an absolute beauty.

    Lever and May aren’t what we paid for.

    Once Carlton worked out Gawn we were done.

    Petraccca is a star.

     

    Could have been worse Clint we could have lost.

    Garry is spot on though.  He's sick of it like we all are.  What good does sugar coating it do?

    I’ve got no idea what goodwins obsession with Smith is. He isn’t a footy player. May and lever were shocking. Mcdonald didn’t half a contest.

    Hate to keep harping on it, but I cannot believe they sung the song without Max, especially as his first win as captain.

    We're a team of individuals.

    I have to say that I would have liked to have Omac in defence today. when we were winning the middle we had no problems but when that turned around we were in troble.

    Had OMac played, we would have lost the game by half-time. Notice Jones' long bomb - taken off the field. It was useless and set up another Carlscum goal. TMac - as a static forward - ain't the answer, once again. We need him in his original position at CHB. As for poor JSmith, pop him in the forward line where he is free to roam. Rivers was impressive and Jackson, once settled, came on rather well. Bennell - a good, injury-free run using the ball well with teammates. Still sense some absolute stardom from him. 

    Nice to win, great start, team wore out rather quickly. Hunt is valuable.

    Sorry but putting down a team when they are 7 goals up for the sake of it and constantly running with it is not commentating. He is a grade A [censored].

    Bottom 4 team, similar to Carltank. the coach is shizen and many of the players just take the foot of the gas too easily

    42 up and win by a point Parrrrrk Me.

    Can we trade both Mc Donald boys of to Gold Coast for a future Round 4 Pick!??

    Gee I'm angry What have we actually learnt??

    Shocking Win!!

    Ask yourself this how many "Power' Sides would let opposition back into the game

    Goodwins time is up! Get Ross Lyon In!!

    It is so hard being a MFC supporter....

    We showed the rest of the competition how to beat us.  Close check on Trac and Oliver, keep hitting Max hard.  Apply even a fraction of pressure - we are weak as stale urine.

    Of the newbies, Bennell did OK but not a game breaker - 6/10

    Jackson - will be better for the run 4/10

    Rivers - looked very good on debut 8/10

    I would expect plenty of changes for next week.  If we play that same squad, we are in trouble.  Too many poor performances after 1/4 time.

    Let’s be honest, opposition players are chatting away and laughing with each other. It’s nothing more than a longer pre-season competition. Happy to have a win but meh.

    • 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.

      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.
