Cheating by the umps

 

How in the world was that not a Frittata mark?

Umps back to their std form

STD - quite appropriate really.

    Is it super greasy, or have we forgotten how to mark a ball, or both? This is horrible to watch.


    Our form is not it. Let’s get this win and move on. 

    We've let them back into the game because of our dreadful finishing

    Second half will be a grind

     

    I'm pretty fu**ing [censored] off after that. 

    We have that much talent on the ground compared to them and are playing a weak brand of football.

    Really disappointing.

    Because he didn’t control an easy mark and was too busy looking where he was going to kick it before he took control of the ball

    We should be 30 points up.

    But no, once again our forward [censored] the bed when the opportunity presents itself.

    Our backline is saving our bacon and doing a tremendous job down back.

    Hope Steven May absolutely gives our forwards an absolute spray.

    Umps aren’t influencing this game. Our poor execution is though.

    Most frustrating game since the hawks draw.

    We really are so much better than them - but poor execution, missed simple handballs... ugh. So frustrating

    Terrible game of footy. We need to get back to basics, commit the body and just bank 4 points tonight. We’re in poor form so far this year, but like good teams do we’re grinding out wins despite not paying well.

    Trac having a bad night.

    Need more from Harmes, Kozzie, Friita and Tmac.

    Sw our best forward.

    Seriously I hope Goodwin tells them to get back to basics & get back to what we did well in that 1st quarter.

    We tried to do a bit to much that quarter when we just had to do the first option.

    It isn't pretty to watch

    Oh and kicking goals would be a good start

    Whoever said we’re playing like millionaires is spot on.

    Gotta get back to a more contested game style.

    100%. But we seem to do that in every 2nd quarter we play.

    Stop over possessing and get the ball moving forward.

    • 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.
