Was the boo for Zorko due to anything off the ball tonight? Or just cause he’s a little [censored]?

At the ground and didn't see anything specific, I think its just bc he's an awful person.

    They killed us at the stoppages, and we are letting their wide onballers run free. But we are only 14 points down. Need Gawn to stop the big slaps to nowhere, and our mids to get their hands on the ball.

    Raynor's quarter:

    12 disposals

    7 contested possessions

    7 inside 50s

    6 clearances

    2 goal assists

     

     

    Absolutely punishing our lazy mids tonight. He is running off Windsor at will.

    Umpires copping the blame for a shambolic first quarter.

    Wrong. It's the woeful under-performance of most of our players.

    Oliver, van Rooyen, Petty, Windsor and Brown might as well have stayed on holiday in Adelaide.

    Oliver without a touch so far

    Whoever passed him fit needs to be SACKED Clearly not🤮

    Should never have played Oliver. Liability with that finger injury. I can see a 5+ goal loss coming our way. 

    First quarter and we look to be off our game a bit and half a step behind the Lions. Given the amount of time that ball spent in our defensive 50 I am surprised that we are only 2 goals down.

    Brisbane pressure was off the charts in that quarter and we were not clean with the ball in hand. We need to combat Brisbane by stepping up our pressure and putting them back on their heels. and making them think.

    Neale and Rayner causing problems and need to be contained.

    we deserve to be losing right now but the umpiring decisions aren't going our way either. they get every 50/50 and we get none.

    Viney and Oliver zero impact is a worry.

    Bbb no touch but to be fair the ball rarely goes inside our fifty.

    Salem down equals an injury every week.

    Need to rally.

    Umps pull your head in.

    You can't play soft, fumbly football and expect to compete.

    Starting to come around for a line forwards or backs cannot cross during play, this is just ruby.

    Fancy the lions serving up slop so far this year and here even hipwood is having a dip. To be fair though we are helping them along. Midfield getting thrashed, defence pretty poor. Sloppy, no marks, lots of passengers.

    Positive? Kolt looks the goods. Great kick to Fritta

    • 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.
