Are we all piling on Hunter's disposal because he got forced wide and had no choice but to dump kick?

Happens a lot. Can't tackle either. He also does a lot of weird underground 1-2 handballs that confuse his teammates.

 
 

The dislike for Hunter on this site is really embarrassing and cringe. He's been consistently good this year and will possibly finish in the top 5 in our best and fairest.

And by the way, he is a way better player than Jordon.

First time I remember McVee being beaten 1 on 1

Why do opposition players have the confidence to take a ping on or just inside 50 but we hesitate and handball poorly or kick to a 50/50

Hunter shouldve had a ping. 

 

we know the umps want a sydney game to ref next week obviously 


You’re either a ‘don’t flirt with form’ or a ‘todays match means sfa’ type of person, judging by this thread. 
 

I wonder where the players sit on all of this considering what is at stake.

This at least he is consistent

Hickey killing us

Hickey is great, and is a fantastic matchup on Gawn. Glad he's retiring.

We really have been struggling to grab a game and tearing it apart of late. Don’t know why we find it so hard to play all out attacking footy. We just seem to be happy going through the motions.

Need to take the initiative more methinks. Dictate the game.


Can anyone explain to me why we never have a marking option in the goal square when we are kicking from 50? I’ve called it about 20 times this year, but we never do it and every time the ball falls short the oppo gets an easy mark and clearing kick

I don't rate Hunter at all - his disposal kills me. I would rather Jordan in the side and use Langdon as our attacking wing.

His possessions are next to useless, always under pressure & can’t kick over a jam jar 

We will sadly lose Jordon because Hunter for some reason is in front of him

Dunno what Thommo has done... but FFS, back 6 looks so much more stable with him there

Jesus last week people were calling him slow .


We better not have a concussion given afl rigged Thurs night preference for Dees Pies. Would be one day short and pies get 3 more days than us.

 

Too many pings forward intercepted by Swans.

  • 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.
