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.


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 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.

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 ?

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.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
