Iā€™m a bit worried about Gawn , his best looks behind him.

    Ball kicked to Petty and he can't be bothered even competing

    Soft if you need it lace-out

    to lose to the puddy tatts with their best forward, their best two midfielders missing is very, very poor

    Absolutely.

    Letā€™s not totally blame ANB for the loss, we can also blame Fritsch for that idiotic dangerous tackle.

    *Perfect tackle

    Now we need bang, bang, bang, bang

    There should be a lot of nervous blokes heading into the review. At least 6 who are horribly scared of body contactĀ 

    Iā€™d love to see one game this year where we hit up targets instead of bombing it on heads.

    Fritta and Kossie are not taking marks against this backline in the dry, no chance in the wet

    Any chance of Gawn doing anything positive this year? There's more to being a leader than doing media appearances. Viney is putting him to shame at the moment.Ā 

    Viney is putting a lot of guys to shame these last few weeks.

    Amazing how we canā€™t keep an open forward line.Ā 

    Oh who's the coach, that's right a ruckman and a coach who's allowed a dysfunctional forward line the last 2 years.


    I want a national trust formed to ban us from playing on this ground for 5 yearsĀ

    This. We have to work far too hard to score.

    This team is going to waste this talent we've got.

    That kick sums up Max's nightĀ 

    Melbourne 2021

    Geelong 2022

    Potentially Port 2023

    All quick burst scoring with just sheer brute speed and perfection in the middle. Teams get spooked and you're behind before you even realise it's 10 goals difference.

    We had our moment in 2021. The days of Richmond, Hawthorn, Brisbane type flags are over (for now).

    32 years old next year. Heā€™s has knee recos and the back of his head has been caved in with the constant punches over the last few years. Heā€™s near the end and isnā€™t going to have much of a meaningful impact onfield going forward.

    Full credit to Salem.

    He hasn't played for eons.

    Comes back and immediately asserts himself as a great player.

    There are lot of players that could learn from his comittinment.

    We played some good footy followed by dome really dumb footy.

    Max needs to stop doing podcasts and focus on playing footy again.

    Exactly they are a mid table team at best this year, this is slightly above the Essendon loss for our worst performance of the year. Our players pick and choose when they can be bothered, with the talent they have on the list it is infuriating that they are letting it go to waste. We should be dominating the competition but we are looking like also rans

    • 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.Ā  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.Ā  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.Ā  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.Ā
