What's happened to Kozzys dare and speed? Been very irrelevant for weeks now.

    Observations:

    - they’re taking almost every contested mark, which means we can’t retain ball

    - it’s turnover city for us. Crazy. 

    - ground feels like it’s 15 x 20 with straight wings (literally, straight)

    - no room

    No. Just cold and confused why he’s in Geelong.

    Don't blame him. Imagine playing to packed stadiums every week then walking into that dump of a half Auskick sized ground

    Not called out by the commentator despite them showing the replay. Contact with injured players was banned was it not. Should get looked at but probably won't because he returned to the field.

    Lucky it’s started raining. Cats skills and defensive marking was killing us. Bit of rain nullifies it. Plus, we piled on goals against Port up there in the wet. Frustrating to watch what we’ve become in 2023. Just a bottom 8 level side.

    The scrapping onto Tracc and Gawn is pure Scott. 

    How they both haven’t received 3-4 frees each is beyond me. Lay a finger on a cat and whistle goes immediately

    Not sure what Kosi offers. Cannot win a one on one 

    Bit hard when you are 5' and they kick it 9' in the air

    Did we fly across yesterday to train? Doesn’t look like it!! 

    Anyway despite being terrible, we’re only a goal or so down. It’s annoying because the cats aren’t even playing that well! It’s just that they’re not making as many dumb decisions as us. Better skills and capitalising off our errors.

    If we sharpen up, we will win this.

    Agree if we get to normal disposal for a VFL side, let alone AFL.


    Are we actually ever going to play like a top 4 side? Our skills are the worst i’ve seen in a while..

    Just quietly we have 6 frees they have 2

    I think so. All over them. Just need to steady and find some space.

    BS

    Rivers called for it and then made a weak attempt at marking

    Rivers called for it mostly stationary and Gus hit it out in front for Blicavs to intercept. Rivers never had a chance. Had Rivers gone harder he’s still not 200cm, the ball still would’ve been out of reach, Blicavs spoils anyway.

    Theres a fundamental game plan issue that players don’t move in and out of space in a coordinated effort to get the ball on the move.

    But if you are going to kick in to the corridor it has to be low and flat and Gus simply doesn’t have that kick. 


    We're slow to move the ball,  turning it over, kicking to outnumbers, letting them switch at will,  letting them chip into their fwd line whilst we bomb the ball high to a 4 on 1

     

    Wtf have they been doing over the break?

    Frankly win or lose, I have had a gutful of pigheaded Goodwin and bombing it into our forwards. 2 years this damn issue can't be fixed.  Kozzie needs to get going or drop him. 

     

    Viney, Tracc, Grundy, Smith & Fritta ✅️

    May, Hibbo, Lever holding up.  Petty getting to contests but rusty with hands.  To be expected given time away and conditions. Spoiling well though ✅️

    Hunter doing ok on his side ✅️

    Lingers i would bench for much of this quarter for Gus.  Reset message for Lingers needed at the break.  Terrible.

    Kozzy was nowhere near it that quarter.  Chandler was on the bench for the most part it seemed?

    • 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.
