Brave by sparrow 

He was quieter that term, but I like what I've seen.  Brave, has some zip, neat user of the footy.  He has a future.

Free kick count now 23-11

Looking forward to razor ray getting on radio and saying the [censored] count should have been 28 - 5

These two teams won’t be contesting anything other than spoons anytime soon. 


The umpiring is appalling.

But we're still our own worst enemies.

The ball was largely in our forward half that quarter but we kicked 1.3.

Kudos to Oliver for improving his game from last week. Bursting from stoppages, breaking free from tackles, it's been a really important step in the right direction.

Lever and May have been huge.

So many passengers though.

This is a joke and not a word from the commentary. Eddie would have popped a vein if this was against Collingwood. 

Their not interested.

I’ve never seen a game with so many stupid soft free kicks given while missing the absolute obvious ones. It’s extraordinary.

Yeah but they go to the crows every time.

Not sure y we always give away frees for high tackles. It's like they don't know the rules. 

Surely taking the [censored]...

 


We need a royal commission into umpiring at Melbourne games. FMD. 

also, am i the only one that finds that whole commentating team really annoying and frankly, obviously biased. 

May and Lever really shone in that quarter. Gus also has lifted. Melksham conspicuous by his absence - again. Oliver and Viney very good.


This umpiring is terrible.  Funnier thing is that Melbourne has been worse

This game is mind blowingly horrible. Just. Horrible. 

Goodwin is not the future and neither are some of our players. This is meant to be a response game, its horrendous. Blame umpires all you like but we putrid.

Frees 23 to 11

Appalling bias

 

 

Wo's going to stand up and wi us the game

The crows players literally get a free anytime we lay a tackle. They just throw their head back at the bottom of a pack and the umps fall for it every time. 

They will get over 30 free kicks tonight... Pretty much the same amount of free kicks for two teams combined for an entire match.

High tackle? For what!??

What is the High tackle rule? Is it contact above the ankles? This is doing my head in. That must about 6 high tackle frees to the Crows so far and none of them were dangerously head high in any way. Then we have had numerous in the backs that were nothing of the sort.

23 frees to 11. 

 Add all the ones we’re not getting. Worst I’ve seen in a long time and I am an expert at complaining about umpires. 

AFL  Touch Footy

Well it’s going to need a 4 quarter performance.      But we are not playing too bad.  Just kept it up.   Hope they do not run out of puff. !!

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.
