Gus is overrated, he’s a dead set butcher. Focus more on your kicking and decision making than golf swing.

I think Sparrows development has stalled too, thought he may have lifted this year but is same same.

    Defenders panic when teams have multiple talk forward to cover, imagine if we had another couple of marking forwards down there!

    Like Jvr or Petty?

    One, don’t tell me what to do.

    Two, I’ve not been on his back. But tonight in my opinion he has disposed of it poorly and chosen some bad options. 
    And just then to sparrow was a perfect example. He is skilled enough to hit that target. 
    So I won’t get better because simply I think I’m right. 
     

    So why just Brayshaw?

    Why not point out all the other errors all our players make (in the same way)

    Your argument lacks consistency and is typical of many on this site

    A crushing need for the scapegoat/whipping boy and it's a pathetic way of looking at the overall team performance

    Not at the game.

    Can anyone explain why we're trying to switch the ball so much tonight?

    So @Gorgoroth

    Make sure you praise Brayshaw's good work because that will happen

    Very few marking targets forward of the ball to kick it to.

    ANB dropping the ball when Bowey gently threw it to him is a classic.

    And then jogging/walking up to the 50, then kicking poorly straight to a saints player when we had 3 at the front of the pack, just needed to put it in front of them. Lazy effort that.

    Trying to play a quick game style only problem is we have no clue how to do 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.
