Oliver’s last three kicks to unmarked Brisbane players.

 

Chandler, TMac, Brayshaw are not performing at the required level. I'd risk to say they are not in our best 23.

So we finally win a clearance ...the ball is dumped out of the middle with seconds to go yet not one tall or medium forward is sitting in the hole at HF!!??????????????????????????????

Trash. This entire game needs to get in the [censored] bin. 

Maybe time to step away from the game and computer. 


Stop fumbling, stick tackles and outwork them… 

We won that quarter.

Make no mistake. They are only in front because structurally we are missing our 2 most important players. Max’s injury really deflated the team, but they fought back that quarter. We are such a tough team.

I’m sorry but do I know you? Walk on sir. 

This next half is going to show how strong our character is. Everything that could’ve went wrong did.

Forget about that first half & come out strong.


I think everyone of Oliver's kicks have gone straight to a lions player.

Harmes needs to loft but he's certainly not alone.

Bbb trying and doing very well.

Jv isn't fit. 

Come on Tmac show some leadership.

Why ask Viney about Max. Why not just stick a knife in his heart.i.

I expect the skip to motivate the boys at HT. He doesn't want to dampen their fighting spirit.

So many fumbles, no control at all, a couple of players a pass and that’s about it. Very lucky to be this close. 

Boy, Viney was [censored] in that little interview.

Our blokes are playing bruise free, jumping at shadows tonight 


Not having a tall HF sitting in the hole for the center bounce 666 is unforgivable

We CAN win this. We have played like trash and are still within 20, and even won that quarter. If we come out with the right mentality, firing and give these bogans NOTHING. 

Not trying to make an excuse but I am just wondering how much the hard surface of the ground is not being handled well by us. A surface that they would not have trained on or played on. We seem to be missing / not picking up the bounce of the ball

What a disgraceful comment. Footy involves 2 teams. Sometimes, believe it or not, you get beaten. Check yourself before you comment next time. 

Agreed …Grundy has def had the better of Oscar …a lot of our players are flat …as I am seeing Gawn but let’s see how they come out after half time before some very average comments from so called Melb supporters

That’s probably it actually.

Melbourne not ruling out that it’s an ACL and Gawn’s reaction is a very very very bad sign.

They are because our depth is a mirage but they aren’t good players.

Chandler is meh.

T Mc is just hot and cold and the ruck isn’t helping.

Gus is Gus. Probably a decent mid or tagger. An ok winger. A fraud at a half back against good supply, just wants to drop off all day long

Last week Brisbane led Port Adelaide by 12 points. They lost by 54 points in the end. Just an observation.

I haven’t given up this game.

Don't be coming in here with that sensible talk.

It's half time and we're 20 points down. It's the absolute WORST. 😜

  • 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.
