Please get Viney off the ball he is getting caught every time he takes possession move him forward do something to change the mix  They are negating our strengths

Goodwin mix it up a bit please

 

Might be time for a few Toby minutes.

As you said push Viney forward for a stint.  Viney has burnt us coming inside twice now.

If you arent doing that at least pull Viney aside and make him aware of where he needs to improve with some vision at half time.

Same with Kozzy & Lingers with their mark and decision making on the wing/HF.  Clean that schiit up FCS!  Can also go inside once in a while.  Straight ahead all the time is too predictable and easy to defend.

    Back 6 need to majorly switch on, start winning some more contest and clearance and lower the eyes inside 50. 
     

    Geelong fans make me 🤮

    I'm sorry but May's kick ins still do my head in. They are to predictable and nothing happens. Find another option.

    poor delivery into our forward line, just booting without looking who to. need to lower their eyes and make sure they hit a target. it would also be nice if a couple of these players could move the ball on quicker. taking too much time to kick down the line gives geelong lots of time to flood back.

    Watching the same game as me 😊

    First vs second at a venue with a capacity of 21,000, playing in the dark.

    The AFL is a disgrace.

    Ripping game of footy though. Loved Tracs goal.

    The fumbles.

    Mostly off handballs.... a few too many are also missing targets

    We're far below our best and still right in this.

    Cats will look to switch or use the centre corridor around eighty percent of the time and we need to counter this as a priority!

    We've got this if we block the switch and tighten our skills.

    One of Tracc or Clarry need to cut loose in the second half for us to step up.

    C'mon Dees, bury them, they'll get tired.

    8 possessions between Kozzie, Bedford and Spargo - unsustainable 

    Dare say we probably need another tall target.

    That’s 127 kick-in consecutively out to 55 metres on the left to the pack.  It’s a defensive type play.  For the past 14 matches.  And something different is … like others who play on. Pass. They run past and deliver to the half forward area.  Hmmmmm. Maybe try it just once.  


    On the plus side, we're in a much improved position compared to HT of round 23 last year...

    Maggot  no23 why do you hate MFC so much. Is it because they don't appeal often enough. Is it because you have been told to. Is it because you seem to be able to make sure that you bounce the ball that slightly is off line enough, three in a row, to favour one team over another, or is it just that you have no idea of distance or what holding the ball is.

    They keep going through the middle and we are just non existent there. Most of their goals so far have been them coming through the middle. Trac and Oliver keeping us in this atm

    This is very similar to the Dogs game late last year. The cat are playing their grand final just like the doggies did in round 19.

    What a rubbish ground ball spends half the time out of bounds and you see more out on the full than any other ground. Should have been bulldozed years ago

    Feels like they are playing in a phone box.

    • 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.
