can they start paying Daniher pushing Jackson in the back over and over. Oliver lift!

Lever got penalised for hands in the back against the Crows & the eel gets away with it. WTF?

 
 

half time 

x losing all the key stats  x contested possessions x losing centre clearances x tackling 

x Hunt Anb Melksham Pickett all are giving us nothing. 10 possessions in total. Not good enough 

x forwards are not effective. LJ lucky crumbing goal. Why kick to pockets. 
x energy is down 

x Trac is trying but getting caught and his turnovers going into fwd50 were poor 

x Salem looks lost tonight (sore?) Was our VIP in the 1st nine rounds imv 

x umps are crap. Giving lions the 50/50s

x James brayshaw loves the lions. Mitch Robinson. He almost creams himself. 
 

but only 3 goals down. Could be 6-7 goals behind. Inside 50s - 18 to 32. 
 

✅Gawn. Lever. Brayshaw. 


Oliver can be incredible with his hands. That's exactly what we need more of.

 

The way BT pronounces Salem’s name makes me irrationally furious.


QB moved. I hate this state right now. I'll apologise for saying that later

2 goals to fritsch

 

Get your hand off it. 1 was gifted to him in the goal square

He's been useless. Watch the game

Calm down. I am watching the game.
Limited chances. He has done his job. Top goal scorer like usual. Get it in there more and he’ll kick more

Spotted Weid’s. Gave a high 5 to TMAC, his best play all night.

Are they just standing him Behind a goal post?


Feels like the first unpressured mistake they’ve made all game. And should’ve resulted in a goal.

We were all very right to get excited by Kozzie - and still are - but in the last few matches a little reality has started to kick in. He’s a kid who’s still finding his way (and boy, won’t he). But I’ve noticed I don’t get the same rush of anticipation when he gets near the ball. Just hoping he does something good with it. 

Not expected him to kick 4-5 goals but seems to be fumbling and running over the footy. His miss from 30 metres out hurt after our best run. 
 

Umps not giving him much even when he’s held and pushed and tripped.

  • 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.
