Richmond are just taking the [censored] now. We were a bottom four team all of last year and we have potentially gone backward.

We’re handing North Melbourne pick 1 at the end of the year. Someone needs to be held accountable for this.

    None if the commentators rate Oliver do they?

    The same troll who said Neitz, Schwarz, Lyon wouldn’t make it in today’s game 

    Brett Ratten has turned the Saints into a much better team over an offseason , Goodwin is in his 4 season and  he has run this team of , on the whole better players than the Saints into rabble of a team , Goodwin must go

    Our decision making is just comically bad. We just have no idea how to compete under pressure. NONE!

    Understatement.  We needed that 

    I'm not angry now.

    Just said watching what Goodwin has done to this team that was a game off a grand final in 2018.

    Our players just look completely shot.

    This is on you Goodwin.

    Don’t blame them. He’s a stat accumulator with poor disposal and doesn’t impact games. Going backwards.

    Yay another goal drought broken. Next week the training wheels come off!

    Not sure how Goodwin keeps his job ... we have a healthy list & yet zero improvement over 2019, same poor turnovers, no marking forwards.

    No need to go to Sydney. Dubbo would be a better option. We can train at the lion park - that should bring some intensity. Oh we would save some money - no need for a return trip.

    Play on at all costs game just doesn’t suit an unskilled team. 

    neither does 'chip it around'.

    I've never seen a team this poorly skilled across the board.

    All our entries are to the pockets every time, how can you expect to win a game of football like that.

     

    Making Gawn captain over Viney has destroyed him

    I'll write Goodwin's press conference now:

    They surprised us with their intensity

    They didn't allow us to play our brand

    They are reigning premier, but we expected them to bounce back

    We had trouble connecting with our fwds

    Our mids got a lot of the ball but they were under pressure

    Smith is starting to string some games together

    The tigers ran the ball out of our defence really well

    Our fwds had trouble holding the ball in there 

    We'll take some learnings from this game and you'll see a different side next week. 

    We've got a few things to work on. I mean we spent 6mnths training how we want to play but we're far king useless and have run out of ideas

     

    He won't say the last one but he should

    Exact.  This is spot on.

    The Coach will not change. I don’t think he has any idea how too

    He can’t stay in charge for much longer....

    • 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.
