Notice the patience from BB there... ends in a lead mark and shot at goal

Rohan has had 2 kicks.  Who would not have had a goal kicked on them in that onslaught?

Smith has done OUTSTANDING JOB

 

Other than the last 10 minutes or so, we weren't THAT bad. I've seen worse this year. I don't mind losing, but form is important and we don't want the boys being belted before the finals. I think we'll bounce back. 

Addendum: I hate Hawkins' face so much.

We look a mess. Having said that, better now than finals time 

That’s the one positive I’m choosing to take out of this mess.

 

To have any chance of winning tonight we have to hit targets up within reasonable shooting angles.  Going to the pocket won't cut it.

Pickett taken high, then in the back  but it was Selwood so no free 

Why was that not 50 (other than the obvious)?


Our two biggest problems surface when it’s against good opponents.

Centre clearances and forward connection

Me too, for some reason he reminds me of a white walker from GoT. Might be the eyes.

The ump stood there and watched him do it.

Maybe Goodwin can apply some "learnings".

 

PS an 8 meter kick to Hawkins = mark = goal

Can someone stick a tackle on bloody Dangermouse?!!!

  • 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.
