Everyone complaining about Kayo. Pay a bit extra a month for Foxtel. Better value and a better overall football experience.

Anyway, Essendon got 4 goals either directly from free kicks or from free kicks up the ground. Most probably there but debateable given they weren't called both ways.

They are targeting our backline because of no Lever, pretty obvious.

Their strings of possesion were very concerning. Especially given they aren't a very fast team.

Draper tearing us up is giving me an aneurysm. If Stringer gets involved next, I'll vomit.

 

We have a few worries but are only a only eight points down. The resting ruckman for Essendon is causing problems isolating Tomlinson.

When van Roo rucks we're getting thrashed in the middle.

Petty's form and now injury is a big concern.

TMac looks off.

McVee probably needs to use the first option.

Brayshaw doing very well.

Clarry only two possessions at quarter time. Unprecedented!

 

We look lazy and entitled at times.

They are getting a lot of momentum from free kicks (most of them are deserved but hard to maintain that over 4 quarters)

Our stars and match winners need to lift.

Good news is that they can’t play much better and we have much we can improve on. Not losing to those cheats in Adelaide. 

Exactly, they can't keep scoring from centre clearance surely

Spargo, trac, Chandler & bowey  need to get into the game 

Bowey is not impacting games that much this year.

 

Shocking choice there Chandler.

 

Great grab and goal Melks!

Say what you want he's definitely good for a big play.

It’s a lot more money. Money we can’t afford. I can barley justify $30 for Kayo. 

Melksham kicking a bag against the Bombers would make a win that bit more special.

Him and Trac need to really lift. Not good enough. 

Wasn't sure about Melksham but boy was I wrong.

I had Kayo for a month and then got rid of it. Pathetic service

Oliver having a mare. What is happening?

Petty stinking it up too. Not good enough. 

Grundy not on the line, he really runs his own race

Setterfield did a number on him at Carlton last year too I think. 

Can't rely on the back 6 today, need to win the midfield battle

  • 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.
