It really frustrates me how McDonald and Tomlinson can get games ahead of Petty and Mitch Brown

    Vandenberg, Jetta and McDonald.  We are in huge trouble if these guys are playing this year. Have looked incredibly slow and way past it now.

    How true I would also put in Jones in there.

    Understand we have some personel issues today, but there are some serious alarm bells ringing.

    Our distribution out of the back half is terrible. We look so slow with our movement. Clearance work no existent.

    Yze would be fine tuning his Ideas for mid season i reckon.

    Our depth is appealing. 4-5 injuries later in the season and we may as well call it a day


    "I've been really disappointed in our younger players. None of them look up to it unfortunately. Who picks these blokes ?

    Spargo would struggle to get a kick at vfl." (Quote from another post).

    Thanks for reminding me why I blocked you Elegt. You're a beauty.

    honestly, the free kick differential is neither here nor there for mine - they have simply wanted it more, got to the front position, and worked far harder defensively

    Our youth/depth is appalling. A few injuries and we need to rely on Jordan, Chandler and Baker

    We have plenty of areas to improve and no need to worry which or any of our recruits will be in the round 1 side 

    glad it’s March!!

    BIt rich when it happens in nearly every game, every year, and remarkably winning or losing.

    Bring em back to reality , says AFLeas....

    Nice kick Maxy. I was expecting him to shank it.

    Great clubs have depth and cover outs.

    We cant.

    They also wield the axe when necessary.

    We dont.

     

    Have to agree with this. Tomlinson should have been dropped (more than he was) last year. Jetta is now done and Tom McDonald is no longer good enough.

    If we think Laurie may be the answer at HB, play him in the practice match instead of Jetta. If we want to see where Petty is at, play him ahead of Adam 'The Statue' Tomlinson today. Want to see if Mitch Brown is a better option than McDonald with the faster pace? Play him

    • 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.
