Bog ordinary.

i know the ground is a slop, but we’re BOTH playing on that slop.

Who even is this team????

 

Seriously we need to learn how to kick accurately.

Same story every week now.

Poor footy.

 

How does Grundy get tackled before the ball is even thrown out thats holding the man where is the free kick maybe weVe had enough already

Sadly it appears Liam Jurrah isn’t there. The roads have been closed which must be the reason since he loves this match every year. 😢

I need more good news from you… not less 😭

Great selection Joel Smith. Complete waste of space at this stage. 

Meanwhile JVR kicking 4 and probably multiple contested marks.

+40 disposals, +12 free kicks, +31 CPs, +14 clearances, +21 inside 50s, +6 scoring shots, but losing. 

thems some tasty PREMIERSHIP METRICS.

 

We just need to do what it takes to get this job done. Stop piddling around with too much handball.

But minus 100% in skill.

Never have a small at the back of the pack. Chandler is the invisible man surely can't be gifted a game next week.

It's lazy, just hanging out there hoping it will skid to the back.

Somethings wrong at this club. What a waste of talent.

Maybe that’s the problem? We think we have the list to win another one.

Our list is out of balance. We need 2-3 elite ball users off half back and in the HF area that are reasonably big bodied (ie not Salem / Bowey) and are good natural athletes.

We are also dominating the falling over count by a mile.

This 👆

The problem again is the small forwards. Chandler, ANB, Kozzie and Melk simply can't get it done. Don't expect Brown or Smith to get many looks. 


We can hope the champion team shows up in the last...🤞🏻

+40 disposals but only +8 effective disposals - wasteful

We got panned for not wanting it enough last week and not going hard enough. Show them what we're made of.

  • 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.
