We still seem to manage to stuff things up close in to goal. ?

    Cats are down on players but they play such a stodgy brand of footy. They make us look like Carl Lewis

     

    Strange game, we’re dominating around the ground but not converting... where have I heard this before.

    Goody needs to go absolutely bananas at them, they look like they’re taking the mickey with there finishing into the fwd 50.

    Trac has had a bunch of it. Oliver has started better than last week which is good.

    Intensity has been pretty good, we should be further in front though blew some very easy chances.

    Fritsch has made 3 mistakes that all cost us goals. Get those right and we’d be at least 3 in front.

    It’s hard to know how difficult it is to mark the ball, but we just dropped 3-4 marks that would have put us in a much better place.

    Good energy but costly in some ways.

    Should be further in front but at least we're not being jumped and four goals down.

    Great to see the likes of Tmac and Jones really pushing hard. Even Brayshaw seems to be running hard 

    Hope the weather holds and we run them off their feet.

     I hope they have planned for Hawkins rucking in the forward line, he is very dangerous there.

    I repeat.

    Missing Max in the ruck. Jackson back to ff please.

    Langdon is an out and out champion as is Trac.

    Sharpen skills please Lever and May.

    Jv needs to lift. Started well.

    Kozzie to start kicking goals.

    2.4 to 1.1

    Wasting our chances again just like the first three rounds.  Jack Viney 2 behinds, come on you are supposed to be a leader

    At least we did not give up a goal at the death. Very un Melbourne like.

    We have to take our opportunities. To many easy dropped marks & fumbles. Viney should be kicking those goals. 

    We also have to man up so Geelong can't play this slow game where they chip it around

    • 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.
