Very sloppy from us and missing targets and goals. Hope this isn’t an indication of the season ahead.

Watching on TV. Could see Trac on his haunches and looking a little bit uncomfortable early in this 2nd term and haven’t seen him since.
 

Can anyone at the game see him?

I mentioned that earlier. I just saw him back on the field on tv. 

 

We are like a set of 18 candles on a birthday cake, I blow and we all go out!


We are bursting from half back but then trying to pick out insane long options, the idea of moving it quicker from half back is you have more space and time when you do get in the front half.

The number of times we’ve burnt free options at half forward that would’ve then wheeled in to open 50’s have been astronomical.

First 20 minutes we hit up all the half forwards 

 

Our kicking and decision making is sub VFL-2nds level today.

Could only assume they’ve shunned ball-work for running in the off-season but we’re getting run off our feet so that can’t be it.

This is probably the closet Blake Howes gets to afl level any time soon

i'd just like to see no injuries tbh

I agree with you though, there are some bad signs.

But, Koz looks good on the ball, just needs to clean up some disposal. Billings looks like a handy pick up. Roo looks rady to take the next step.

But yes, careless turnovers will the ball are making us look second rate. And that is a big worry. But a lot of them are happening from the younger brigade.

Langton got pushed in the back in Marking contest  play on 

Balta gets pushed in the back have another shot at goal 

Not much love from the maggots

Make that 10 goals in a row from the tigers. That’s bad whether it’s preseason, scratch match or in season.

Bad decision making, bad kicking, bad turnovers and no pressure when the Tiges are in transition 

Not the start we were hoping for after all the noise in the off season

No Oliver no Dees! Our training form elite, our match form shizzen


Any chance of a score

Fair summary 

What’s happened to Windsor? I’m still waiting on my digital membership code to come through? Sounds like they’re doing me a favour not sending it through…..

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.
