Lever solid? He's been the worst on ground.

Actually watch the game Dub....

Lever has been solid in 1v1s. His spoiling has been particularly good.

His turn over kick before was horrendous and turned the play. 

But for the rest of the game, I'd agree that he's been one of our better contributors.

Disagree.

His turnover cost us a goal, and it was a shocker.

But he hasn't been beaten one on one, taken a few intercept marks and made plenty of important spoils.  Far from our worst.

Melksham and Viney on the other hand...

 

Viney, Fritter, Spargo, ANB, AVB doing very little. Desperately need some/all to lift in 2nd half

They are having a go, i agree. and its a good response, but leaders continually make mad decisions it doesnt help. the 4 in our leadership team have been awful.

Footy is a game of split seconds. Sometimes they just male the wrong decision

They are totally unbelievable!

ABC Grandstand commentary actually asking if the replacement umpire from WA is blind ?

What I want to see us melksham put hus body on the line and show some leadership.

Applies to umpires too

 

The appalling umpiring is enough to drain any hope of getting a 'fair go' on the football field. Especially when you see a thug like Mumford receive free kicks and get away with what the commentators drool over as 'big hits'. ?

Sorry lads I have to disagree. He's been no different Joel Smith tonight in terms of spoiling.


Would swap Weid with May.  I just can't see us kicking a winning score with Weid at FF.  We'll most likely lose anyways.

Time to flip them around and just have Weid defend as best he can across CHB.  Lever to FB.  Hide Smith on a flank.

Lets take it up to them by playing May across CHF and clunk a few marks or bring the ball to ground for Kozzy and Spargs.

We simply must trade Fritta & Melk at years end.  Both go missing for far too long and far too often in matches.

Where's Lockhart gone.  He has to be carrying something surely.  Just can't see how Nev gets a game ahead otherwise.

Such abetter effort tonight so far

Anyone got one of those online defibrillators.

Honestly I don't feel well.

That's probably because I just a couple of glasses labelled "Romsey Manor"

Is that a real winery or one of those fortified jobs?

Just checked the fine print... WARNING- it has chemicals added and "may contain fragments of grape material"

But I love the nutty aroma. Reminds me of the last time my old Dad sprayed Roundup - and forgot the water.

I wish he was here


ANB crikey

He plays like a millionaire. Doesn’t do the basics anymore which is what he did so well in his debut season. Has put his feet up after signing a contract. 

We need to sign players up on shorter deals and keep them driven to excel.

Ling you are a dead set [censored]. [censored] off and don’t come back. [censored]. 


ANB then with a soft piece of play.  Jumped up then packed his pants and handpassed it to no one.

ABOUT BLOODY TIME

  • 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.
