No one to blame but ourselves. Some very costly errors and name someone that stood up to their desperation in the second half. Very disappointing to walk out of there with a loss.

    Please, umpires didn't decide the result.

    Dogs thoroughly deserved the win. Played like their season depending on it, and did some pretty impressive stuff.

    Still, f**k me May, wtf

    50 points conceded beyond our 60 point target. Eerily similar to sane round last year, dead on our feet and overrun at the end. The difference this year is we're not as healthy and settled, so some huge weeks ahead if we're to be dangerous in September.

    Dogs were the better team. Much hungrier than us. Particularly second half

    We’re not the same team defensively this year. Not sure why.

    No comment about the umpires

    Let's re-group and go again next week

    Go Dees

    Time to not only send a please explain to the umpriing department but make a video of it public. Every 50/50 decision went the dogs way. It was the most indisputably biased display in a long time and the club needs to act. The umpires beat us, not the dogs.

    Seriously at what point is something done about it. It’s beyond a joke now. I saw a dozen throws HTB , DTB and none of them were paid. Not 1. 
     

    We are not undisciplined , but the dogs seem to get the run every week without fail.

    We lost the game through some poor coaching and play - obviously tired after heat last week but play a helter skelter game all night too the point it caught up with us, poor thinking

    got too also wonder at what point do you man up on a player that kicks 5 goals on you ?

    Absolute disgrace, a game that should have been won, remind me who is the midfield coach is we were lucky Trelor went off the ground subed out, once the dogs tightened up in the backline they knew we only going to go down one side of the ground again, unless they start to change course we will struggle to win the flag playing this way.

    Put Jackson in cotton wool for the rest of the year so Freo don't cold feet

    Well done to Weid for having a good game but not sure how he goes missing for such long patches without even seeing him (and why Goodwin plays our only key forward for only 72% game time)

    To conclude, shoot Harmes out of a cannon

    Melbne player tackled = instant free kick to Footscray. Footscray player tackled ie Bontompelli = eventually gets ball to advantage of another player. Umpires gifted 4 points tonight.

    Putrid. We could easily lose the next 4 games if we can’t even beat the Dogs. We are in horrible form. 
    Gawn is playing hurt and it’s costing us. Apart from Oliver and Petty, we haven’t had one player this year play good consistent footy and deliver week in week out. We are missing the spark and hunger that got us the flag last year.

    No point focussing on the umps. Yes they were a factor but the loss was mostly down to dogs hunger and our mistakes

    If Kozzy kicked the last opportunity we probably would have won.

    Our forward line was a shambles in the 2nd half.

    Times running out now.

    Our game plan is still a mess because teams have worked us out. Get us through the corridor and we're cooked.

    So Brisbane and Geelong both get challenged and manage to win. 


    Melbourne lead for most of the game and then chuck it. Give it up. We’re not doing anything this year but making up the numbers.

    Correct way off the pace play one final and put finish 8 th.   The loss is dedicated to May.  Mouths off at team mates   I bet a few cannot stand him. Then makes a Clanger that just cost top 4.      We will one more. 14 wins and out first week.   Maybe next year we can hit top form again.     They can never take last year off us buts this hurts after winning 1 st ten games.   Freo at freo loss the golf th a loss. Possible Carlton one maybe.     Brisbane at Brisbane loss.

    Does anyone know if Weid was off the ground for long moments at a time?

    What TF was Gawn thinking grabbing the ball out of the ruck on the flank... dumb, dumb, dumb. Too many stupid errors made to have won that.

    On the other hand, would have been a great game to watch for neutral fans and Jamarra's goal at the end was epic.

    • 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.

      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.
