Unfortunately we paying the price of playing a team that is hurting losing the gf, has a shocking record here & wants to prove they dont and has had a bad start to the season and know they need to win

 

Aside from Taj and Salem, any of these guys wanna show up tonight.

Only positive is that we just could not be worse. It looks like the two games in Adelaide have taken too much out of us. Total lack of effort. 

Btw we gifted two goals, the Howes turnover and the 50m penalty to May. Score should be 34 to 16

 

Well anyone can beat the Crows...Hawks and dogs.

Clearly lions have put us where we belong.

Insipid effort by our midfielders...Captain and every single fwd player.

Lazy, week and uninterested performances by fifteen players.

Maybe two weeks away have worn us out but this is very poor.

Oliver can't touch it.

 


Very flat after those two games in succession in Adelaide. Carrying too many blokes who are sore or underdone or non existent Oliver, Brown, Petty, Chandler,jvr, billings, woey, Salem (inj) ,fritsch 

If we're tired after being up for a month, you have to wonder how the coaches didn't see it through the week. If we thought we'd just turn up then the players need to get their heads checked. This is last year's grand finalists we're playing.

One of our worst quarters in a long time.

we aren’t interested in moving it forwards quickly, as it could expose us going the other way (even though we’re down by 5 goals 🤦‍♂️).

why are we afraid of scoring?

This is simplistic. We are down in all areas aside from goal accuracy compared to last year and we are getting smoked by a team that is going moderate to good in all areas aside from accuracy. Just so happens there slotting them tonight.


👍🏻GAWN. RIV. SPARROW. LEVER. MAY. MCVEE  

PASSENGERS : the rest 

Petty  BBB  JVR  all hopelessly beaten 

X stoppages 

x fumbles 

x disposals 

😡😡😡umps 

Stop Neale 

clearances 27-18 

Selwood says WE DONT WANT IT. Have to agree !!!

Petty doesn’t give a stuff. Looks like he has checked out. Only positive is Rivers.

Petty worst game ever.

Missing Kosi badly. Could spark our midfield right now.

Billings has to go out.

Petty is also in danger.

MAX GAWN is a poor ruckman, Ive thought this for a while, rarely feeds our mids. Great around the ground marking etc but a poor ruckman at centre bounces!

Your better than that, maybe take a breath before you waffle

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.
