Premiership contenders don't lose to teams like Adelaide.    We might make a prelim but we wont win the flag.

The  Dogs and Lions will beat us the next two weeks.

    That loss has been a few weeks in the making IMHO. Its almost a relief to get it out of the way. I will be happy to split the next 2 games 50/50 and reset at the bye.

    Not the end of the world.

    Umpires would be proud getting their team over the line. 

    That missed holding the ball call and missed deliberate were disgraceful.

    That was deliberate, not that it matters. We played like trash and deserved to lose that. We would have lost by more if not for Clarry.

    Fancy losing to those posers. 1v 16. And with Tex kicking the winning goal.

    I feel sick.

    No more 'we get the job done despite being sloppy', we need to fix things for next week as the Doggies, and then Lions will not be as forgiving.

    Maybe it's the loss we needed to have but gee we need to be a lot better.

    Tigers lost to Adelaide in 2017 and 2019.

    Umpire calls aside we played very poorly from the first bounce. Goodness Steven May got absoluted bathed and it stuck out in that final term.

    Of course the AFL will say it was a wrong decision.

    Petracca needs to have a good hard look at himself

    We had a lot of chances going forward and didn't take them, so we shouldn't have given the opportunity for those late decisions to matter.

    We played badly and they played well. Sometimes that happens. We missed Salem's presence behind the ball quite a lot.

    To blame anyone but ourselves for that loss is to wallpaper over the obvious cracks that have been there since we beat Richmond. 
    I hope this is the loss we had to have because boy did we play poorly for large chunks of that game. Oliver kept us in it,  but beyond that we had a really embarrassing amount of players who played like selfish millionaires. 
    In footy you get out what you put in. We put in no effort for an hour. We’ve been getting away with it, but eventually your luck runs out. 
    Salem is also basically our most important player. Our backline was exceptionally poor without him. He covers for the mediocrity of Hunt and Hibberd.

    Obviously, you don't want to be relying on those free kicks to win a game, but the holding the ball before Walker's goal and the deliberate out of bounds at the end were very poor.

    • 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.
