    I know the free was soft, very soft, diabolical even. But I'm really annoyed that May allowed himself to get sucked into that BS by Franklin.. Completely changed the trajectory of this game.

    Last year our cornerstone was to respond to adversity. Can we do it this year? We will need to do it .... come on dees

    Viney doesn't look right. He's either rattled or injured.

    Petracca clearly not right.

    Oliver tagged.

    This.

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

     

    If you’re going to make that comment don’t just select your whipping boys. Viney has been fumbly, Hunt has missed so many easy handball targets. Harmes handballs to Viney when we have a 2 v 1 but handballs to a position where Viney has to check back in and we lose the quick breakaway

    If our midfield doesn’t lift this game is gone. 
    I will never understand how Gawn Viney Clarry and Trac don’t rip games apart. That is an A++ combo.

    Yep we had the ball no need to do anything.

    We're a goal down and often we haven't run games out very well. Not confident


    Lost a bit of respect for Franklin tonight. Pathetic.

    I think we'll be alright. We will consolidate this quarter with a blistering block of footy.. We're the better team, we're at home, we just need to get rid of the fumbles, play smart and utilise our i50 efforts. 

    Hold them accountable. No more freebies!

     

    Does anyone think Gus is a fail so far in the middle?  Send him back to the wing and bring Harmes in for a stint or is Harmes doing too well there?

    Nup can't blame May for that act.


    When you are leading on scoreboard, you shall no do something like what May did, clearly our whole team affected by By that. one mistake after another, we just couldn't settle down. Hopefully, the halftime break can help the players clean their heads. In Rd23 of last year vs Geelong, we were poor in 2nd quarter but played much better 2nd half and won just. Come on Dees, you can do much better!

    • 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.
