    Why the [censored] does this game have to be on a Thursday night when I can’t drink myself into oblivion?!

    Call in sick tomorrow. Be a good citizen. Never has calling in sick been more heroic.

    We've looked soooo slow since Jones was brought back in.

    Gifting charity games was where it all went down. Jones is rubbish

    We’ve been as bad as you can get but only 3 goals down. That’s a positive. But I’ve got nothing else.

    Hang in there - it's only the 1st quarter gone. 3 quarters to go...

    Only Jackson looks likely up forward.. 

    Yep.

    Doesn't panic with the ball.

    Its too much to ask that our so called quality players actually try something different other then bombing it in the F50

    I agree. I have left Jones alone to date but geez he looks off his best by some way. 

     

    wtf was that rubbish,why is tracc laughing about [censored] these prima donnas


    13 inside 50s in the first qtr for no goals, 3 talls doesn’t work 

    That was disgusting, last week we kicked ourselves out of the game in front of goal, tonight we have barely been able to string two kicks together and our kicks inside 50 were pathetic.

    We had so many good chances with leads missed, miss-matches ignored, and basic skills non-existent. We can bring it back if we pull our finger but that was some of the worst we've seen.

    Jackson was hit laces out, got both hands to it and spilt it...

    Port Players get the ball, then try to maintain possession for Port. 
    Dees players get the ball, then seem more concerned to get "meters gained", just keep moving the ball toward our goal, like schoolboy football, causing so many turnovers and lousy delivery to our forwards. 

    MFC intensity meter reading at about 1!

    Brayshaw is playing on a wing on Karl Amon.

    That BAD that the umpires are providing sympathy and tea. Copious frees and multiple fifty metre penalties have done little.

    Goody was sick of listening to us cry out for two tall forwards.

    His revenge is sticking three down there.

    Good move.

    Apparently Hodge is spending retirement in a pie factory.

    The reason we're only 3 goals behind is the short quarters

     

    This is the Richmond game all over again.

    Turnovers left, right and centre. Cannot compete with anyone, let alone the side on top of the ladder, if we keep turning it over.

    I would be the first person in Australia to call in sick for home schooling/work from home.

    • 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.
