Worst part about Tmacs performance is that Baku Khamis is playing on him and beating him

    We have never had a poor pre season to only go on and dominate the year.

    Beating the premiers not good enough for ya?

    Far out, bit less caffeine for some of you blokes I reckon.

    Harmes also cooked. Absolutely does no damage 

    Really disappointed with his game today. Was he supposed to be on Bont? Just no leadership by him in there.

    It’s a practice match right. Dogs seem intense compared with us.
     

    No use tagging the Bont. He’s going to be out with leather poisoning 


    Red and blue witches hats. 

     

    All signs point to Omg.

    Yea sure have stars out but all these blokes need to be able to play. Skills and intent missing by way too many.

    Tmac should probably hang up the boots as should a few of these umps.

    What are Spargo's positives?

    We’ve started with all the tenacity of a wet blanket. Midfield is absolutely getting destroyed and nice to see Bontempelli alone again. 

    I thought we learnt last year when he destroyed us. Without Clarry and JV, our midfield is struggling v Dogs. 

    Painful even for a practice game. Quite a few mids missing today but the ball movement and clearance work is still some of the worst in the comp. Its still hard to see what the intent really is and It seems the players feel the same way.

    Baker, sparrow, harmes, spargo,  Vandenberg are a big no from me. Depth is really really poor

    i know its a practice match and we have personnel missing but its not good signs. can't hit target cant hold tackles and wont chase hard enough

     

    One thing that hasn't changed 3 dees up for the same mark

     

    I know its early days but effort is effort

    The cream is very clearly rising to the top. They are destroying us in every aspect of the game. We look lost. 
    Our skills are woeful. Mark Williams has a lot of work.

    Hasnt been great but he chased more than many.

    Makes you wonder what our game plan is this year. Seeing absolutely nothing that resembles a game plan. Cattle aside we should have some form of game plan or we are cooked as soon as we cop a few injuries

    Ummmm.  He played a good 5 minute burst v Pies last year and kicked 3 goals ... then went missing for the rest of 2020. Surely hung on to a list spot by a whisker.

    What's this learning thing you speak of?

    Martin is a great pick up for them, can release English forward

    Can’t see anything in Baker or Jordon to make me think either will be a player. Yeah, a practice match but for mine, they don’t have it unfortunately.

    Remember when we traded him for SFA.

    • 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.
