We look terrible

Foot skills atrocious and I hate that I’m basically watching the same games we played last year to burn games. 

how have we not practiced this?

 This team is very frustrating

    Laurie and Spargo - no room for both, even if one of them.  

    Frittata non competitive.

    AND they take every chance, we take none.

    People on this site often complain about Hunter but Langdon has been getting let off the hook to easily. He's been underwhelming for a while now.

    Cannot buy a HTB in our forward line. Sydney has had a few.

    Can a forward take a f###ing Mark?!

    How is a commentator saying ‘there is no movement in the F50 for Melbourne’ and then laughing??????????

    That is a comment I’d expect from an under 12’s game

    Roo, the Shack & Big Maxy all went up there.  Terrible

    1 goal from over 20 insides 50s. Abysmal. Nothing has changed. Skill level and method is poor.

    Wait for him to get Melbourne'd (yes, I'm bringing it back.)


    I can't believe how hard we make it for ourselves. It is astonishing.

    Watching us play is like trudging through quicksand

    So much effort, so little reward

    It's frustrating and demoralising

    I'd drag the next champion that does an underground handball.

    I hope Hunter's ok soon so we can drop Langdon.

    Move Tracca fwd coz it ain't working Goody.

    We would have to be number one in the comp for sub one metre handballs.

    • 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.
