I mean so many great tackles unrewarded, and that scrap gets rewarded to Buddy.

    Why are our tackles unrewarded?

    Gawns was a farce.

    If we dont fix our centre clearace issue goody we will lose.

    Trac needs to lift on six million bucks.

    Gus just rocking up.

    Too many sub par efforts in this game.

    Gawn into the middle and we lose all momentum. Jackson has to ruck out the game.

    I do not understand how holding the ball is a different rule in our goal square than it is everywhere else on the ground.

    Rampe took on Spargo and got done cold.

    I’m so annoyed about Fritsch kicking into the man on the mark.

    I’m furious.

    It should NEVER happen.

    He’s having a mare.

    Fritsche is having an absolute mare. Trac thinks he can plow through the entire Sydney team by himself. A bit of bighead about him this week with his new fat bank account.

    We should win this from here, but the Cats thought the same thing last week.

    Hes a kicked a goal but why is there just so much love for melksham?

    9 possies.

    Hes a passenger.

    Just once has he starred in a game thats all and got some votes?

    Be honest folks.

    Again, we dominate the first two thirds of the quarter but don’t convert that dominance into goals. 22 points was good but should have been 2-3 goals more. 

    Couple of critical moments go against us and we end up losing the quarter it’s only a 10 point margin.

    We must take our chances if we want to win this.

    Petty is nowhere near the level needed.

    As for Fritsch....................I’ve produced [censored] harder than he is. He is soft as puck.

    That was a pathetic performance by Gaen and the mids. Getting absolutely flogged in the clearences

    He’s been far from our worst - 15 possessions, 10 contested.

    Was ok in that quarter along with Nibbler and Salem

    Yep and Fritsch needs to lift and do the basics right. The kick into the man on the mark shows he's not switched on. Hunt playing well as is Langdon....

    Did some one forget to tell Fritta he got off. Cos seriously he would have been more effective in the stands. He has so far avoided every contest available. 
    Petty is no good. Any game he plays means we are a player down. 
    Trac tonight is believing the hype and getting caught by being selfish. 
    Max needs to actually lift and stamp his authority on the game.

     

    If Goodwin doesn’t work out the centre square set up we are behind the 8 ball.

    Need a big qtr. Swans have the momentum, we need to get the first 2 goals. 

     

    Sitting right in front of the Buddy HTB decision. The way he jumps on a stationary pack and turns around petulantly looking sat the umpire who pays it... Christ...

      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.
