They are picking us apart. Look much more likely forward. Cleaner and better numbers to the fall of the ball. 
 

we look like we are under committing at the contest. Seems deliberate.

 

We've been let off massively with ports goalkicking. They are finding targets inside 50 way too easy.

    lol it is not. Port ain't bad.

    Not sure what game you are watching - we look 2nd rate. Late to the ball. Outnumbered at contest. Hacking the ball when in possession . 

    Our only goal has come from a dubious 50m penalty.

    FMD what a disaster of a quarter. 
    Sloppy, soft, messy.

    We can’t handle the hot ball. Stock standard Melbourne. 

    Dove head first

     

    what studs are we wearing? we're slipping whenever we take possesion

     


    They're out numbering us around the stoppages.

    So many more Port players then us 

    We look completely sluggish

    Really frustrating watching this quarter. 
    Why is May miles off his man???

    Been frustrating this whole season so far. Patchy in all games.


    Isn't it not a high free if you duck into it???

    Port deserve that lead. We are playing pathetic football. 
    If we don’t start getting our act together through the middle, we can kiss this game goodbye. 
    As for our backline, the less said the better.

    Was hoping we'd get away with that quarter but no we definitely had to gift them so they had reward for effort. Port in the drivers seat

    This has been bugging me for ages now, why, whenever we have a rushed kick do we sky ball it? Seems literally everyone else's rushed kicks are stab passes which often land in their team mates lap. Ours are ALWAYS spoiled and often rebound back the other way

    • 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.
