Game over. Umpiringย is a [censored] disgrace, but we missed our opportunities.

We desperately need to improve our goal kicking accuracy. We never kick more goals than points and itโ€™s directly costing us games now.

This game is over. Injure as many dogs players as you can and stay uninjured.


FMD. ย Salem held without ball - no free - goal to Dogs who just cannot miss

Our forward disposal is just disgraceful. ย Thanks Goodwin Williams and Yzeย 

We will win this.ย 

We look awful. Viney Langdon Harmes Salem Spargo ANB giving us absolutely nothing.ย 
Once again relying on too few to do too much.ย

great we give away another goal in the last minute - great defensive football

they have 10 scoring shots to our 9 and lead by 19 - brilliant. Gotta love our forward coach.

tough conditions, but we are nowhere

Not a chance in hell we get close to winning the flagย 

we don't have enough outside class

Been saying it for yearsย 

Not to mention our forward line is trashย 
ย 


Time to start injuring them to compensate for the unfair umpiring.

Move onto next week. We cannot win this.

Typical shizen goal kicking and the umps have 100k on the doggies

Yep. All over. Disgraceful umpiring, rubbish football. Notย within a paddock ofย finals-worthyย intent.ย

How exactly?


Don't believe the stats our mids are getting smashed, our forwards are woeful.

[censored] goal kicking........AGAIN

i thought brown was supposed to be a sharp shooter

There is no question which team has dealt with the conditions better and the best team overall.

The scoreboard absolutely reflects that.

Umpiring not good but not the difference.

We will see what our players are made of after half time.

When TMac is quiet we struggle big time. But the umpiring and missing 3 sitters we coud be still in the game.

our goal kicking is our downfall unfortunately we lack skillful kicks like Breust for Hawks

First off our kicking for goal is whatโ€™s made us be 21ย points down. BUT FAIR BLOODY DINKUM THE UMPIRES MIGHT AS WELL BE WEARING BULLDOGS UNIFORMS. THEY ARE THROWING, THEY ARE BEING TACKLED BUT DONโ€™T DISPOSE OF IT, THEY ARE BEING GIVEN AN ARMCHAIR RIDE THIS ENTIRE MATCH. Chalk at least two goals against the umps.ย 

On our side, we have to take our chances. 0.2 from Brown isnโ€™t only disappointing, itโ€™s deflating. Not just that he misses but that they are supremely gettable kicks, you would expect ANY AFL player to kick it let alone a FF whoโ€™s job it is to do exactly that. We actually had quite a bit of territory and decent opportunities but yet again butchered them. We have regressed back to what we did most of last year.ย 

Worst part is, Iโ€™m still in hotel quarantine after watching us have they great run earlier this year and Iโ€™m genuinely wondering whether itโ€™s impossible for Melbourne to be a decent team while Iโ€™m in the country.ย 

Seriously if BBB doesnโ€™t kick a match winning bag in the second half he needs to be dropped. ย Paid the big bucks and hasnโ€™t looked remotely like kicking either of those set shots. ย 
Thoseย misses are just totally and momentum killingย

First half.
X Goalkicking ???ย reallyย Ben Brown

x only 2 goals ย 22 inside 50s ย 

x dumb footy ย  Fritsch (three metres out and knees it!!). The dumb brosย  Harmes. Viney.ย 
X kicking efficiency 44% poor vย Dogs 60% ย 

x Scache beating McDonald (come on Tom)ย 

???umpires free kicks 4-14ย 

โœ…May Lever ย ummm. daylightย 
โœ…Trac goalย 

โœ…Gawn 40-8 hitouts ย  But needs to go forward with force ย ย 

Oliver. Lots of the footy but ineffective to create goals.ย 

I didn't realise when we signed BB that we were signing a key forward with the kicking yips. ??

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFLโ€™s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.ย
