Yep. When you're a defensive side that tends not to have high scores, you need to be switched on from the first bounce.

Or you know............bring in the KPF we’ve all been crying out for

 
 

Our inability to win clearances is a disgrace today.

    Don’t worry Goody and Stafford will have that aha moment with 15 minutes to go.......

     

    We won’t resolve our forward line problems this season. We have regressed at an alarming rate. Brown won’t help cause the problem is a lack of dynamic movement which he is the opposite of. McDonald is low on confidence again for some reason. I’m getting sick of seeing our points double our goals and being in bad positions as a result. We make it look so much harder than we need to. Our midfield today doesn’t exist, which it is prone to. maybe sometimes we need to commit the extra number to the middle and trust the players to win it against the lesser sides. They park the bus and rely on bursting through and every time we lose this is how it happens. 


    Still can’t trust this club.  Coach has failed at selection and their heads are too big.  When are they going to learn it just does not happen.  Port away next week.  Top 4 out the door. NO TRUST!

    Gotta say GWS pressure has been spot on since 1/4 time.

    They have been very good today.

    Well we outscored them that quarter at least.


    Can’t kick goals - can’t win.  
    Get back to basics MFC. 

    Embarrassing. We look second rate through the middle and up forward. Our backline is the only reason we are still in this.

    Agree. No forward pressure today and watching him he just jogs 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.
