Off topic considering the tone of the thread, but thoughts on Sparrow to half time?  Thought he's looked alright and has a bit of dash about him.  I think he is worth persisting with going forward.

I have liked his input so far.

Tough little nugget too.

 

If ANB is getting suspended, tell him to over and belt that little sniper McHenry.  Has been going at Gawn all game.

By the way cue the person telling us to chill out and we're 5 points up etc 

 

First play of the second half Brayshaw overruns the ball and Adelaide send it forward

Adelaide supporters booing poor umpiring decisions is a bit rich. 

But not surprising in the slightest.


Langdon really doesn't like kicking goals.

Langdon cannot buy a goal. 

Cannot kick either.

The muppets probably think it's coming from the Melbourne supporters at the game, and subsequently rewarding the Crows for it

Lever has the stitching imprinted on his chest

So they've replaced his heart, but not his brain. Great.

Yeah, "Dermie what would you.do facing this young fella Jackson in the ruck right now. Well I'd lead with the knee and make him earn it."

 

Oh let’s look after the players... flo gs

Brayshaw devoid of confidence at the moment. 4 touches at 25% at half time. 

Bennell has offered nothing.

 

Can someone please tell me roughly where / what role Bennel is playing?  

Hard to tell from side on viewing.

I would play Tomlinson down back to replace Lever.  Allow Lever to place the loose role that he loves.

Bring Harmes to the Tomlinson wing and rotate him with Bennel.

What is ANB bringing to the table,  if anything, so far?  AVB is also a worry.

Jones has to play HF in small bursts off the bench or not at all.  His kicking inside 50 or anywhere higher up the field is atrocious.

Where do you hide Melk****e?   Time to go unless he kicks 2 or 3 in this 2nd half.

Tracc into the middle with Clarry & Gus.  Gus needs a rocket from SG.  Perform or you wont be back for a while, if ever mate.

Viney to go forward for Melk rotating with Chunk (off the bench...nowhere else fcs)

  • 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.
