POSTGAME: Rd 05 vs Richmond

Featured Replies

 

We can play when we choose to. It is frustrating as all heck.

May and Hibberd huge in the second half. Hibberd might be a bit of a butcher but his efforts are crucial. 

Petracca is a star. If Oliver wants to be one he needs to fix those kicks under no pressure and do it yesterday.

 

Well I did open the changes thread last week with the comment that we should not play Lever and Smith in the same backline.

I got howled down

Time to find an interest in another sport for the season


 

Execution, execution, execution. That Oliver turnover in the last minutes summed it all up.

Nothing to do with Goodwin or the coaches, nothing to do with the system, everything to do with the players' failure to be able to execute even simple kicks/handballs, yet alone under pressure.

Petracca one of the few exceptions.

Passengers everywhere.

Sparrow, Jones, Jetta and Weid / Brown have to come in.

 


I was rolling my eyes at Dermott pre match when he suggested we have a couple of stat padders in the middle.

Watching Oliver... ?

Goodwin banged on that Harley needed to work on his defensive pressure.

Melksham 3 disposal 0 tackled

Hunt 4 disposal 4 disposal 1 tackle..

We are a garbage football club. Something is rotting at the football club. We have the talent on paper, but our coaching is a shambles.

We can play when the oppositions ruckman and 2 others are out of the game.


For the  most part, the effort was there.

But skills - appalling. No excuses. Especially for that late kick by Oliver. No pressure, 15 metre pass missing by 5 metres when we had all the momentum. Sums up our day actually. 

So often over the last 20 years, our skills have murdered us. 

 

It's an actual talent to take Oliver, Petracca and Brayshaw combined with Gawn and be useless.

 

On paper that is the most talented starting midfield in the league, in practice on the other hand ?

Finally Oliver Brayshaw and Viney are exposed. 

Sad to admit it but we are a bottom 4 side 

hope you’re embarrassed clarrie, that last effort was arrogant 


Footy is dead to me for 2020.

MFC can’t select the right side. Can’t dispose of the footy. Terrible coaching. Low scoring. 

We’ve had 2 years to correct this rubbish disposal.

Only thing that would save the year for me is a new coach.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
