McDonald is slower than a turtle.

And one of the slower types of turtle.

    Nathan Jones encapsulates our club. Historic losers going to water under pressure . . . And accepting it. He can't play again. We have to move on.

    The most confident play we have seen all night, May casually walking to retrieve the ball knowing he touched it before the review.

    We are getting nothing from the umps, our players getting clearly held onto but it gets completely ignored, they get a shot on goal from it.

    If only the umps were the problem.

    I predicted a 5 goal win. Nek minnit. Down by 5 goals at halftime.

    God what an embarrassing half of football.

    Guys. the umpires suck, but we are nowhere near it. Stop getting upset with the umpires. If we got the rub of the green we would still be 4 goals down.

    Pathetic display but umpires are not helping some atrocious decisions, a number right in front of goal. Wish we could get a few of those within 30m. 

     

    Should’ve kept Garlett on the list opposed to paying a first rounder for Pickett who has the same impact.

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

    Gawn and Petracca are basically the only thing saving us from certain bottom four at this point. The optimists here surely have to admit this team is going nowhere fast and needs significant list changes and coaching changes.

    Come on man don’t be a Debbie downer

    goody has got this! Omg can you imagine the learnings from this ?!

    Umps know what they are doing. Clear direction from Head Office.

    Sparrow is awful, like a bad version of the midfiedlers we already have.

    Not the kids fault but why bring him in to play midfield when gus and harmes are already starving for them and playing out of position

    ONE goal to half time. 
     

    We are FLYING.

    So overrated. Bye bye pick 1


    Fritsch, Salem, Oliver, Viney, McDonald, Harmes.

    Most overrated bunch of peanuts on our list.

    We had the run of the umpires in the first quarter. No point complaining about them. We are simply nowhere near good enough.

    • 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.
