Kozzie needs to get involved, as does Big Benny Brown.

Gawny seems mentally off. 

Trac needs to sharpen his mind.

Our trademark, crazy, over-the-head handballs are anxiety-inducing.

    Chandler deserves some slack but he’s a mile off it. I can’t remember an involvement that was a positive one.

    Meanwhile Weid and T Mac in the side is a thing of beauty.

     

    Really enjoying Weid's contribution at the moment. He's hanging on to his marks, which is an excellent sign. Can't wait to see the boys get around him when he kicks one, which is inevitable.

    TMac has been immense, again. I'm stoked for him.

    Weid is still  2 grabbing almost everything.

    Would transform his game if he could trade his hands for Casboults.

    Raining all thru half time and looks to be getting heavier from my spot on level 2

    We are playing middling football but so are they 

    Salem the only clean user

    These three were not great last game either.

    Yes over the head to no one, Quite a few players not in the form they were a few weeks ago.

    All the numbers are going to Brown, need to be smart kicking inside 50, if we can do that, we win this by plenty. 

    one too many talls if you ask me.. brown goes out. fritsch needs to tackle and chase. chandler not going great. loving weed’s work.

    As usual, if I only looked at the match day thread, I'd assume we were 30 points down.

    We'll probably win but far from convincing. The dogs and Lions will give us a bath if we play like this against them.

    OK but it's our backline and TMac keeping us in front, quite a few need to lift.

    I hope Sparrow is good. We are missing Viney.

    Like last week we've got a fair few players that need to lift. Midfield isn't all that inspiring right now. It starts in the middle and we've just gotta win some contests, things will flow from there.

    Wouldn't mind seeing Petracca go forward, Neal-Bullen go into the middle. give us a bit of a different look

     


    Hopefully May accidentally crunches Mackays shoulder again this Q

    Need to do something.

     

    Just wondering are people allowed to seek shelter under cover during the rain or are they forced to remain in their seats?

    • 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.
