What an embarrassing final quarter. Outscored 5 goals to zip when the games on the line.

Coach needs a rocket. Team selection wrong. Team balance wrong. No changes made even when getting belted around the ball and on turnover. 


WHAT IS THIS [censored] FORWARD SET UP?

Why are we letting them have an extra man when we have clearly lost unless we get the goals quickly 

Tracc has the worst goal sense for a player of his calibre 

 

Poor selection, and still can’t believe he took a running player in Jordan for Spargo and not Petty or Gawn. 

Petty a mile off and how they made an out of form player like spargo sub I’ll never know. Jordons last game as well

Gee we look slow and terrible in the air as well

Massive tug on Gawns jumper. Nothing. Nothing. Fmd

I wonder what our F50 efficiency against top 8 sides has been since 2018?

 

Anybody know a way to look this up as I’m struggling to be able to find it?

Where’s our energy advantage here?

 On the other side we’d be saying we’re coming off a 6 day break, we’ll that’s them so are we going to stand up or what? Where’s our run?

Who will make a difference?

I can't believe people are still asking this question around the bye.....

Spare me mate! Tomlinson is a C grader at best 

So is Garry Rohan but he's almost been the difference

The trouble is Viney is the only player showing some leadership out there.

Lever has been strong too. Max has cracked the [censored] and thrown in the towel this year.

I wonder if there are any learnings from tonight?

Maybe that our forward line is freaking useless.

And out mids have no idea how / where to kick it into forward line

 

I'd be dropping Kozze Pickett, downhill skier extraordinaire

Yep, Petracca has shown he is the side kick of Oliver. You'd think he would step up with Oliver out. He hasn't

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.
