I'm amazed at how often we burn a player in space and go long to a contest instead. It seems every kick-in we'll have a player free straight up the ground at around the 45, and ignore him to go down the line to a contest. Incredible.

    People we have the wrong coach & over invested in 2 defenders who can’t defend the goal line on 2 occasions! We now have Gc , Carlton, saints, Nth who have gone passed us again .. a disgrace after a decade of pain & early picks it’s like 2010 replay

    We've just got to change the coach.  Players careers will be over before they know it, without any inspiration or leadership to get them through it with any sustained success.  

    We can't let this go on, it's the way we're playing that's just devoid of any spirit or confidence.

    After today I’m pretty confident we will have a new coach next year if we are serious


    Smith has looked better today. Amazing what can happen with a little bit of sorely needed game time.

     

    Save for one non free on Tmac, umps have been very favorable to us.

    Put Daisy Pearce in the box. 

    Yep. Her earlier suggestion about keeping Petracca in the forward line was a good one too. 

    are they drilled to man up?  are they drilled to find a team-mate?  where's the connection between max and the runners?  They've had a lot of time to get these things sorted.  Does Goodwin know what our players are skilled at?  

    not worth watching - so utterly predictable.  And our blokes still guard the space where only a miskick will go; still wear themselves out chasing after the bolted horse.  Geelong is laughing at us  The whole competition is.  Goodwin, this is you

    My favourite player already.


    Milkshake tries to steal a third miss for the quarter but is denied by Hunt.

    Seriously our back line is taking the [censored]. Thank god they dropped Jetta. Our only defender who isn’t busy trying to be a show pony and actually defends!

    This this and this.

    When Geelong have the ball you'd swear our players were instructed not to go near a player. Laziest bunch of idiots to play the game.


    Oliver barely even jogging on the transition. I pray that the coaches start to tell him that this isnt on. He really has to work on his defensive running to become a great player. 

    Really disappointed.

    • 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.
