Dam now we have to find to 2 goals in z a row.

Do people realise Grundy is actually an AA ruckman? He's a smart footballer and a good one. They are talking him up like he's some new player

 

FFS

thats that i reckon. haven;t fired a shot this quarter

 

Where's the highly rated mid field tomight?  Woeful

Grundy smashing Gawn, our small forwards are terrible, Lever bad, any chance we can stop Blakey off half back

Well thats game over, a few areas to work on starting with kicking.

Gameplan is just stale on so many obvious fronts.

We’re so predictable when we just don’t have to be 

Yet, so many people will defend Simon to no end. Poor preparation is poor footy.

Worst game by Gawn in a long time.

Grundy has run into his space at every centre bounce blocking his ability to run. He by no means has won the contest between them but has nullified him in ruck contests.

Gawn tired 

Viney tired 

too many passengers 

Viney vs the swans. 


That might be it.

The learnings are the same.

No big fwd who can kick goals.

I hope Bbb can get back to something.

 

What a disappointment this is turning into. Losing to a team missing it's two best midfielders and leaders. Some really stupid and lazy efforts tonight with players bashing into each other with no communication. 

Two clear opportunities at centre clearances totally and utterly f###ed by senior players. Why Jack? Why are to trying to take the entire swans team on?!


We don’t deserve this

Gawn’s taken a bath, kicking into 50 the usual abomination, Laurie, and Schache confirmed list cloggers. Chandler hasn’t played an AFL standard game since round 9 last year.

Gonna need a few bangs but I don’t see how we’re gonna get them

Oh you know when viney gets tackled like that we're stuffed

He had the runner, why he’s taking them all on is beyond me.

Nup Max is just off.

Lots to be concerned about and little to enthuse. 

 

less than 5 minutes to give the game away.

zero changes from 2023 to 2024.

watch all the ruckman play Gawn this way for the remainder of the season. 

sad, really

  • 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.
