Jump on board, Andy.

Ignorance is bliss.

At least the umps are on our side so far

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

you'll even get paid $300 to do it!

Dont panic we are kicking to the scoring end now.

 

By the way, Salem continues to show us why he'll never make it as a midfielder. So soft.

Time in forward half -

Melbourne 55%

Port Adelaide 45%

Time being frustrated -

Melbourne fans - 50 years

Port fans - 1 week


Spent the quarter counting because I'm a loser.

That's the 20th goalless quarter of Goodwin's coaching career. 

Just now, loges said:

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

It's mainly our backline standing up relatively well.

Most of their inside 50s have been delivered with zero pressure because of our turnovers. To have only conceded 3 goals, it could have been so much worse.

Perfect way to start the quarter.

Handball error then holding the ball.  ?

Two different rules for each team.... HTB is so [censored] 


When I watch Melbourne play a quarter like this I can't help but think about when Pacific Island nations like Vanuatu play Australia in World Cup qualifiers and get smashed 15-0 like a training drill.

Even when the Bulldogs get smashed like last night they still play what seems like relatively normal football.

Melbourne is just completely irrelevant on nights like tonight

FMD.

At least holding the ball is a new rule this week. Did anyone else get the memo?


Back line constantly out of position. Our midfielders are just jogging like they’re on a [censored] vacation. 
Game over I believe. 

 

Tom McDonald not getting to the contests, seriously he is giving nothing right now.

  • 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.
