Haha this will either sail through the middle or go nowhere near it

such is max 

Such is Max 🤷‍♂️

WHAT A GOAL 🔥

Our midfield has been quiet and easily bested by Port tonight. Hopefully they make amends this qtr with some clearances and some of our quieter guys like JVR Fritter and Kozi get involved. We’ll need them because Port aren’t going anywhere and have generally looked dangerous and more consistent than us. 

We can do it!! 

How are we still in this!?

As good as that goal was it was also frustrating, has to become max"s norm. 

Im frustrated when he misses not when he slots it after the siren in a tight game against a good opponent! 

If Max, Tracc and Clarry can bring their 'A' game this quarter and we stop fumbling we've got a chance to pinch one here.


Sydney ran all over us in the last a few weeks ago. You'd think that would be front of mind for the team here - not letting that happen again.

 

Should be 3-4 goals down. Get Kozzie in the middle immediately.

Roo started to hit the packs hard in the second half of that quarter- much better.

But it's not really achieving much.

Get Kozzie around the ball

We've been poor yet we're down by 4 points. The opportunity is there, Port have thrown everything at us. Give them the old sucker punch Demons! 

Couldn’t play on and hook it as usual. Maybe he needs to change to this style of goal kicking?


50 inside fifties to 32

no idea how we are in touch

Given the team we have out there, newbies, crocks and kids in what is already a makeshift backline, plus an underdone Petty, (also missing Brayshaw ....), they're doing OK against a top 4 team away.

clarry doesn’t look right. hope it’s just his finger. 

good to see jvr running and jumping now tho… love to see him get into it. 

Get Billings off for Woey now.

Are the Port crowd actually human?

We can win this with one good quarter if we run hard and pressure like mad.

Whats better than a goal in the last minute of a quarter, two goals in the last minute of a quarter.

Bang bang 

We lost by four points last time

 

Don't let it be an Omen.

Disagree, it's bringing the ball to ground and not letting Aliir and Esava take the intercept marks.

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.
