44pts i think is the game plan...

Its also part of the afl plan to build up blues to get a big crowd and huge expectations.

Tiges then thump them as usual 

 

Petracca with no left foot whatsoever. 

 

Poor by Baker,  very poor going one handed to pick up the ball in a dangerous spot.

Carlton fans will be up and about for a couple of weeks till dusty gets a hold of them 


The amount of jogging we're doing in this game defensively tells me everything I need to know.

Also, Brayshaw in the backline means no Brayshaw on the wing, which means we're so much worse defensively. Brayshaw's defensive efforts are so key to what this team does.

This is a sheiit performance I hope Goody absolutely rips in at half time

 

Lol Carlton celebrating like they kicked a goal in September... 

Baker, Hunt, Smith and Tomlinson are all pox.

Depth players at best and not willing to man up. Their smalls and mid talls are killing us.


I honestly like this. We need a kick up the arrse. Carlton will be pumped up. Question marks on us.  Much better way to enter the season 

Imagine paying to watch this dross

I wish these “Glorified” games didn’t exist. 
Round 1 should be the first opponent of the year 

Neither Kossy or Trac competed for the ball in the air, clearly saying to themselves "No way I'm risking getting injured in a practice match." We get the goal anyway.

As much as I'd love to win every game till the end of time, we're clearly taking this game very lightly. I hope there's no bad habits creeping in though.


I'm trying to decide whether to slit my wrists now or wait to see what happens in the second half. I think i'll wait

The dropped marks have been a big issue, along with us not looking interested at all.

Kosi, Hunt need to lift.

I reckon Smith has defended pretty well


We play so direct it really exposes the backline if the forwards and mids aren’t on.  If this was a real game I’d hope the message from Goody would be tempo and spread. Bomb bomb bomb is such bad footy 

Hunt forgot how to play down back? Stop leaving your man!

I don't. Smith is very low on my list.

  • 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.
