I mean we have dominated statistically, makes sense to me

I know how you feel. But for mine it’s Demonland that’s unbearable. I’d forgotten how pathetic some of the “fans” are on here.  I only came on here to share what I hear about Fritta but it’s not possible without seeing some of these posts that are just too much. Further compounded by hearing my peeps doing their best behind the goals, fully supporting our boys regardless of the score.

Anyways medicos just had another meeting. They can’t manage his pain. They’re gonna do a pain block infusion. Apparently it’s a common procedure. 

Thanks for the updates.

I believe we all are free to share our POV on the game, as long as we keep it respectful. No personal attacks on the players.

    just found something more enjoyable to do on a sunday

    A 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle

    its called ‘The Wheat Field’

    My MFCSS tells me that there’ll only be 9999 pieces in the box.

    • Haha 6

    +17 disposals, +14 CPs, +8 clearances, +13 free kicks, +10 inside 50s, +5 scoring shots, but scores level. 

    I know that the underlying stats indicate we’re doing things right in the other two parts of the ground but if we don’t work out how to score from these stats soon, we never will (in 2023).

    I mean I can’t believe that you’re not pulling your hair out watching us undo so much good work inside 50. It’s so frustrating. We deserve to win when we dominate and do so much good work.

    Terrible news for Fritta. I hope they can manage his pain. Can’t be good if it’s still so painful. 
    Do they have a suspicion of what it might be?

    I was off DL most of last week and will be again, can't even plug a family friend's business in Alice Springs without people taking the [censored].

    The guys should glue sandpaper to their boots for the next half, get better purchase. Is that actually illegal?


    That 50 was a disgrace. Toby played on took 6 steps to the right, Harmes was running backwards away from him, stupid umpire doesn’t call play on but pays a 50. Haynes was not inside the 10m until Toby played on and ran straight at him.

    Wet night in a low scoring game that could be the difference.

    Absolutely pathetic wrong decision.

    Petracca is major part of the problem.

    They know but they’re not telling all to Fritta. Apparently this isn’t out of the ordinary. He will tell Pauline if/when they tell him the full extent of the injury. She’ll tell me and if so, I’ll pass on the info. Just wish I could do so without having to catch sight of these outrageous posts. 

    We need to get back to playing simple, hard at it footy and get the ball forward.

    We’re doing very well at that imo. It’s just the finishing.


    we won't be able to blame a loss today on the umps.

    I get one player having a bad patch when kicking for goal. We have every player out of touch, except one and he was dropped.

    426 then i guess we have to expect. If they dont tell the player what his injury extent is.....it sounds fairly involved. Cheers.

    Ignore the aussie wowsers and keep posting.

     

    I haven’t seen Gawn not be able to stand his ground in marking contests since this year

    wonder if he has an injury or just banged up?

    • 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.
