Awesome Football were dishing up to the supporters and sponsors, they must be over the moon.

We showed for periods of the game we were really competitive.

???????????? 

Give yourself a pat on the back Simon.

Cant blame umps  we are just turnover kings, our half forwards playing from behind.

 

And almost every other player.

It might be my bias but I don’t remember the last time Oliver wasn’t held a a stoppage

How can a select few of us (too many deniers on here) see it at every stoppage? It is so frustrating when soft calls are paid to the opposition. 
 

 

Selection not looking great at the moment.

We drop Jetta for Sparrow, send Harmes into the backline where he has been a proven failure, and then put Sparrow into the middle who is nowhere near it, whilst leaving Brayshaw on a wing where he is no good.

Surely if we were going to free up centre bounce rotations for Sparrow, we could have made room for Brayshaw instead?

And then we bring TMac in for Bennell and TMac is somewhere stuck between trying to be a half-forward, a marking forward and a midfielder, and is none of them.

The skills in that last passage of play just before pt goalled were dog vomit. Especially from Oliver.

Like the use of "dog vomit" - no better way of describing it.


How does brayshaw continue to get games??? Yet Tomlinson was brought in for outside run & can’t get a game

Let's see how we respond in the second half. We can claw back 5 goals in the 3rd quarter if we play well. This isn't over yet.

Mate, we won’t kick 5 goals in the next 3 weeks

This Club just feeds us BS

Pure and Simple 

9 years to the day since 186 and we get served up that bile

Goodwin and Jones

Just go...

Reluctantly I have to agree. I've resisted accepting the calls for Goodies head. But if he doesn't make changes and can't get the charges up in the 2nd half, I'll need to rethink my support.

Jones is in the limelight of his career (a great career) but his time is nigh.

Clarkson is probably also gettable. Any of those 2 would be a hell of a lot better than what we have got. 

Clarkson will come only for the bucks or if his ego makes him think he’s god and can work miracles.

I bought a house today. Thanks MFC for destroying my mood.

Enjoy mate, hope it doesn’t burn down the like fing Melb Football Club.

How bad might we play when where mathematically out of finals contention. This is putrid when the season is on the line.

Why is Brayshaw not playing on ball ahead of Sparrow?

It's about time this paper team got a dose of reality!

Jones is finished.

T.McDonald can only play down back or trade him.

Salem needs to be traded.

Brayshaw must be traded.

Don't know what to do with Oliver? Just tell him to handball it.

Weideman must be traded.

Roos has [censored] us up the [censored]!

Picked the coach and Traded pick 2 for Salem and Tyson.

Add to that the poise and kicking skills that Bennell's omission robs us of.

Is there a forward apart from Fritsch that's got more than 2 possessions?

 

Weideman 1 (no marks), Hannan 1 (1 mark), Jackson 3 (no marks), Pickett 4, Melksham 4 (1 mark), TMac 4 (3 marks), Fritsch 6 (2 marks).

18 inside 50s for 1 mark inside 50.

How’s the server holding up? Good time for a stress test if you need to.

will be more fun than the second half

Well, that was a debacle. I’ve put a lot of our problems down to Goodwin previously, but this is down to effort, intensity and skill execution. Not even close to resembling our improved performance the last few weeks.

Anyone else feeling quietly confident about tonight's game?  I know that's not a normal feeling for Melbourne supporters as we probably have a closer relation to the feeling of dread, but I think we can knock these guys off.  

You and I are really good judges If the dee Wise ???

Dees never stop continuing to disappoint. 

Pathetic. There is no urgency tonight pure and simple. Skills are shocking. Pressure is shocking. Just pathetic all round

  • 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.
