Such a predictable garbage ball movement from the half back. Kick long to a pack. Nobody marks. Geelong runs away with it. It’s pathetic. 
These old [censored] have made us look so second rate tonight 

We have become far too predictable

Top spot gone after that goal. With Blues, Freo, Lions and Pies to come, it’s going to be tough to finish top two.

make that....top 4

Gus terrible tonight.

Get him back to the wing, Jordon out, Rivers in.

 

Jordon was poor as was May

How many pressure acts by Kozzie have seen kicks smothered or skewed this season?

Yes he's a great chaser but I'm starting to think I'd rather see him with more of the ball and opposition chasing him than him chasing them most of the time.and don't get me wrong I'm a fan


Where's that switching been all night?  And of course as soon as we go forward we torch it

Leave these ferals to their marginal seat pork barrel BS stadium and disgusting water and get out of sleepy hollow

We should be thankful to finish top eight.

What can we learn from this?    Delivery into 50 needs a hell of a lot more precision and thought.  More precision clearing from defence too .

That's it. Too good!

Not really. Notice Geelong only pulls the fancy circus [censored] out when they play in this hole stadium? Melbourne too predictable. 

Lots of learnings from tonight’s game.

Lesson #1 - How to kick a winning score. It’s not entirely about defence

I really really hope Goodwin reviews this. Especially this final quarter. This losing margin is horrendous

Especially when May kicks out from a behind

Better tonight down at their dumpy ground, let them be cocky at the MCG

BB one good quarter then plays from behind most of the time for the remainder

Exactly. Sums up the night

We have had a number of players who were passengers to night   Just a bit dissatisfied 

July Premiers. Won't beat us at the G.

  • 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.
