We weren’t great. They were worse (flat?).

if anyone doesnt think we are in this up to our our eyeballs you are never going to let your mfcss look at football objectively. 
 

thanks binman 

 
  • Brayshaw's & ANBs first quarters would have had Goodwin searching for two sub vests, our field kicking woes continue
  • McVee sees the game in slow mo
  • Tomlinson fantastic game
  • Admirable effort from Smith but really need Petty in
  • Don't think we're able to play Pickett, ANB, Spargo, Chandler all in the same side, especially given none of them play midfield minutes - Oliver in for one last three
  • Would like to clone Salem and put one in the midfield

I reckon we should ask for a please explain from the AFL for Lever being paid a 50m against in the Anzac Eve game for carrying on behind the mark, and the Collingwood player at half time for Trac’s kick after the siren doing the exact same thing for no resultant 50. Really poor.

Yes, it is unfair to brand him with that when there is such a wondrous variety of annoying American types to choose from.

Hmmm, all Pie supporters are toothless bogans with low intellect and poor hygiene. That’s a given….

 

All Texans are inbreed red flag gun lobbyists who wear white pointy hats/face masks. 
 

That’s all  the proof I need
 

Cox is a tool….

 

😂🤣😳😜🤪

Really impressive display and great by many players but special mention to two D’Land whipping boys - Tomlinson and Smith. 


The kick by Viney to JVR in Q4 was awesome. JVR was surrounded by 3 filth people.

As good as the famous Harmes kick to Fritsch.

Pendlebury was caught HTB with a few minutes to go. Nothing to see here? And the free kicks to the filth at the end? FFS!!! 

A week ago I said we could beat this mob. It should have been by 6 goals. However I will take 4 points. 

 

According to the media the Amazing Pies almost did their mythical thing again against some other team.


After conceding the first 3 goals , we switched on and strangled them. Really worked ourselves in every contest. Bring that to every game and we'll be right in it at the business end this year

Enjoy the win mate. Great game of footy…. 

I thought ANB stopped many run-ons for The Filth, thus giving (when needed) his teammates those necessary moments to catch and beat their Filth opponents; and, he did this, once again, crushed with the ball under at least six Filth players.

Pls Binno.

His fumbles and indecisiveness going i50 are killers. If we lost everyone else would be asking for his head too.

Perhaps he's just in the middle of a loading phase & he'll come good....? 

Then he'll get dropped then won't he.

Not.

Coz a premiership coach understands footy and knows just how hard he works and the incredible amount of ground he covers.

Were you at the game?

if you were you would have seen a player push himself to the limit and beyond.

He is almost always completely spent.

But sure let's knock his skilll errors under intense fatigue.

How many other dees players would have had the aerobic capacity and speed late in the game to mark that high kick from kozzie.

Not one.

He won us the game and you want him droppe.

I edited my comment because it was unnecessarily snarky.

Snarky, maybe.

Accurate, absolutely.

If this was about any other country there would be outrage about racism. Can't you just say you don't like the bloke and leave the anti USA out.

Personally, stuff him.

No it wouldn't. People say similar about a whole bunch of countries (whinging Pom, etc).

I'm in no way denigrating him because of his race.

Great result, so proud of the boys ticka, but the goal kicking is becoming a cause for concern.

And Mason Cox is a massive [censored].


Loved that Salem is back. His contested work is phenomenal.

McVee just gets better and better. He is becoming a weapon off half back.

Hunter cracked in hard today which was great to see.

Viney is having a career best season.

Apart from one shocking set shot, Joel Smith was terrific. Maybe he could be the missing link?

The small forwards were abysmal. Kozzie, ANB, Spargo and Chandler really have to make an impact on the scoreboard. ANB's fumbling will be costly in the heat of finals.  Don't know what to do with Kozzie.

Grundy improved in the second half, but needed to.

Tomlinson was back to 2021 pre-knee form. Kudos.

By the end of the year I expect JvR will be a major handful for defences.

Fritta slaughtered Darcy Moore.

All duck and no dinner…

 

Our structure is so much stronger with a second tall to free up Lever and Salem back in the side.

Clarry, Bowey and Petty are salivating inclusions after the bye.

Americans are not a race.

Yep.

And all three goals were as a result of poor skill errors by us and resulting turnovers.

More nervy errors than pies pressure I reckon.

I think they scored 5 goals from turnovers - three in the first q. So we sorted that issue well.

Just watched Tom Browne on the Ch.7 news - he’s so unbelievably biased towards the filth it’s disgusting.

Joel Smith has changed this forward line.

One shocking kick at goal but otherwise he added a much needed spark, if only some people (entire MFC coaching department) could have seen this earlier.

Viney lives for the big stage, Salem was back to his Grand Final best.

Today was his warm-up; some of us at DL have known for some time that this ability would surface as a consequence of him playing way-back-when as a backman. He learnt some tricks; reversed these, used these today. Soon, he won't miss his shots...today he was a 4-goal man with a lack of gametime practice. Got excellent reach, hasn't he? Mobile as a forward and finds space.

100% agree. Daicos simply couldn’t go with him and kossie made it bloody tough for him. Watching him at the game is the only way you can appreciate his value. He’s an absolute workhorse and zero chance he gets dropped.

 

Viney was clear best on ground.

But how good was salo?

And Tomlinson was just fantastic.

  • 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.
