Look even more average!

Yep, correct !!

Team of average skilled fumbling footballers.

Cant question effort, but need polish 

We need to offer Burgess kids jobs and a house to move to Vic and get him back.

If we don’t win this game it is time for some serious discussions at the club. 

Stoker has been off injured for the last 15 minutes so they only have one on the bench

Poor choice by Trac, either have the shot or that’s gotta go 10 meters out.

Poor choice to kick it to Grundy?

i know what you mean

Do we have another gear?

It's not a motoring show...

 


If we lose this it will be as a result of losing the 2nd ball to the Saints .

Very few crumbers at the drops,  shocking at loose ball gets and contested ball gets.

Can't maintain a chain beyond about 3 or 4 possessions

Still cant find targets inside and not enough forwards lead or time their leads at all towards the ball carrier.

Talls / mediums continue to sit back at the top of the square or just outside the goal line.

Where are the short shallow kicks (on occasions) to a leading forward around 40 to 50 meters out to at least maintain possession, have a shot at goal, eat up the clock and give our mids a rest and HBs more time to set up an effective wall??????????

The Saints were dominated for most of that quarter and we could still barely convert after so many entries.

Forward craft Pffft!   CRAPPOLA!

Might be time for Kossie to have a spell at Casey. He's been underwhelming for weeks

Time was about three weeks ago.

Our coach clearly is from South Australia, constantly behind the times.

That was due some time ago.

I am surprised you didn't notice.

I don’t think our effort has been as good as it was or could be.

Ch7 commentary team so painful to listen to. 
 

Trac looks angry.


Smith to come on - a couple goals in the last please….

We all honestly know we are a bottom 8 team.

We all wish we were a ruthless, team oriented smart team.

disappointing performance, lack of running and chasing by a few players are keeping the saints in this. even though they are tired they are committed i wish i could say the same about all of our players.

Poor choice to play Grundy

I'd much rather have JVR down there.  Or Smith!

Grundy is not the answer.

Tap bros experiment should have been killed off three or four weeks ago.

Grundy sub (at best)

Ironically we played much better last week through the middle 

 

This is the dirtiest Umpire effort to make one side competitive i have ever seen.

It's just so one sided. We are not playing well, but they are just a dirty side, and a lot dirtier with Jones in it.

  • 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.
