Yep we’re going around in circles for decades... need to look at his people around him Swan inc assistants,  Our assistants are questionable & Richardson not sure what his role is & why we got him??? Wasn’t Roos his mentor for 2 seasons ???

He has had Roos McCartney and Richardson

He still needs his training wheels  Please get rid of this guy for the sake of the club and the team

    Brisbane may have had a dream run this season but they were top two last season and bombed out. They missed their opportunities. This season they are still making linear improvement. Something we failed to do after 2018. No reason to believe they don’t belong where they are. It’s all a matter of taking opportunities as they arise and they have taken the first positive step last night. Something MFC is still clueless about.

    Hipwood showed Weideman how to impact a game without hitting the scoreboard last night.

    Saints v Dogs

    The two teams most would pick as the weakest in the 8. (Perhaps Pies would give them a run).

    What luck to play each other.

    Dogs for mine by around 12 points with lots of behinds kicked by both teams

    Yes both early drafts  (Weid pick 9 and Hippy Pick 14 )both 23 years old

    The Weid needs to come on his development  has been anything but linear 

    Needs a proper coach in my opinion 

    There is plenty of ability to work on but suffers from being at Melbourne perhaps

    I'd be very happy with a Port v Brisse GF.  As for other comments on Brisse getting a great run at it this year, take every advantage you can.  None of it was their doing, blame covid.  They still had to win games which they have done for 2 years now.  They have a clear system they play to, we don't, we did for 1 season and then they changes the rules and it broke.

    Brisbane winning the flag is the only way to make this season not a complete disaster. 
    So happy to see Geelong and Richmond lose first week of the finals. I am so done with these teams. Same goes for West Coast.

    Interesting ....

     

    It was a genuinely good game! One of the few I’ve seen this year that hasn’t totally made me wonder why I still bother with AFL.

    You can see the clear drop off in skills and quality with this game. I’ve half switched off.

    Losing to the Dogs this year was a terrible blight on the MFC

    They are battlers (who have a go)

    There's only one player on the ground with the surname Howard. So why do the commentators refer to him as Dougal Howard every time they call him?

    Same with (Easton) Wood, (Caleb) Daniel   ...

    Too much time on my hands?

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
