Not playing well and we have lots of guys that are way down on form - Trac, Viney, Melk , Kozzie, Gus …

and a goal down - we need a big lift from these guys asap 

May has been good but honestly to get sucked into Franklin is just so dumb 

That was on the ump.

    STOP FUMBLING THE BLOODY BALL!!!!!!!! CHRIST ALMIGHTY 

    This.

    Same usual suspects in Sparrow and Nibbler who just fumble and cough up the footy so easily.

    Max’s disposal has gone right off. Too many out on the full. That free to Franklin and the subsequent 50 was blatant cheating and the stupid maggots fell for it.

    Swans killing us at the stoppages, sweating on us when we have possession, and building their attack off the turnover. We only win this if we take ownership of the contested pressure game. Just gonna fumble and fiddle our way to a loss otherwise. Longmire is a frankly brilliant coach. 

    No Goodwin is a lousy match day coach

    Not going the way I wanted but it is entertaining. I feel we can come back. I hope they regroup

    Dees playing one spare back so swans have tge extra at stoppage.

    So i dont know why we don't stop with the handball (its bit slippery) and bang it fwd. 

    To that poinr for some reason we are holding it back for more numbers to get back into our fwd 50 rather than go quick to one on one.

    Sound idiotic? Does to me. 

    Blocking free kick against Melk wasn't even looking at the player. Swans player ran into him.

     Viney has been one of the worst offenders.

    Not enjoying this at all.!!!

    Swans can win the flag. They are exceptionally well drilled and coached. Our midfield has been super disappointing.

    I really don't want to play the Lions again next week. Surprised that we are still short in the live betting, Swan still over $2.

    Absolutely. Nibbler had two chances and two misses. He’s had 4 missed tackles in 1st half.

    Melksham needs to lift

    He’s playing on Patrick Mcartin FFS and preventing him from peeling off to intercept 

    oh I forgot many of our supporters are stats driven

    All five were well off the pace in that first half.  Never seen Viney lose his feet so often.

    ANB doing ok or?

    Havent been watching closely but what do ppl think of Sparrow's game?

    Yep. Umps have no feel for the game. Or working eyes.

    • 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.
