Fortunate to be only 8 points down,  very fortunate

Not really with the 3 sitters we missed in the first. Sib out Harmes for Smith at halftime

 

This, team have a golden opportunity and Goodwin again gets it wrong at selection table. 

2nd qtr 

petty. JVR.  Trac 

Viney. Gawn. Trac. 
 

🤮Harmes. Woey.  Mcvee. Bowey.  Hunter.  Lots of missed tackles allowing tigers to keep movements 

👍🏻clearances Dees 22-17

🤡turnovers 34-Dees 40

 

Hunter is having a mare. 

4 free kicks to 2 in a half of footy umps have put the whistle away.  
 

This game will be won by who can maintain the rage for longer

Why, thought you are innocent until proven guilty.

Yeah, fair enough. I’m just thinking how odd these matches would seem in hindsight, should it go south. I can’t recall another example of an AFL player taking the field under such circumstances, but maybe it’s not unique. 
 

Edited by Mel Bourne

Our tackling weak and ineffective.

Set shot Goal kicking back to our worst.

Tigers very hard at the ball and man.

Still bombing forward instead of putting the ball in front of the player.

2 frees in a half and umps ignoring our forwards being held on every entry.

Our fumbling is superb.

Still a bit unclear on why Marlion Pickett is allowed to play matches right now. Will be very strange if he’s found guilty. 

Irrelevant comment.And he’s innocent

Is it just me, or does May look like he's treading water out there? Looks injured and very slow.

If it went south he might be in jail.

Anything up to ten unpaid free kicks to the half.

He was like that last week....


Oooof what a mess.

61pts against us, so far, in a half. Our backline is a mess and has been for a while. What happened to our fortress?

Typical for us to serve this [censored] after port and the lions open up an avenue to second place. 

And what the hell was that from Gus??

Kozzie back in the middle, just get Harmes to tag somebody, best use we can get from him, and EVERYBODY PULL THEIR FINGERS OUT and stop giving them cheap goals.

Of course Melbourne would stuff up this chance 

I could've sworn it was only half time?

He has never been that quick and he's not getting any younger.

Honestly our kicking has been woeful at times 

Surely not?

Not just you, looks to be injured or had lost more than a yard of pace and slow to react


Tigers with thirty more possessions. Need some more players to stand up like Trac and Viney. They can't do it all. That means you Jordan, Gus and Hunter 

We may be a goal behind but we are being well outplayed.

Tigers playing Bazball while we look like Australia. 

Why does Goody to take so long to activate the sub?

Do we have anyone else in reserve to replace Woey?He's had a good run but he's not doing much anymore.

Hopefully Chandler and Kozzie get involved in the game.

Not just you 

old slow and rubbish below knees

 

Our bottom six, Harmes, Chandler, Woey, Jordon, etc. really are ordinary.

Can’t help but think Hibbo would have been able to steady our defence when under pressure. Must play next week.

  • 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.
