Absolutely [censored] disgraceful half of football. No skill, no awareness and so vanilla. Structurally putrid. Any danger of a stay at home forward. What the [censored] is Bailey Fritsch doing taking marks at centre half back.

    At the game. Gotta be some kind of record for kicking to the oppo. Just never seen anything like it. It’s literally like they’re trying to do it. Can’t possibly continue, can it?!!!!

    It's pretty bad. I'm trying to be positive but this is Richmond.

    The cats will be watching this and smiling.

    Ooooooft yeah, we cannot play like this against Geelong or we’ll lose by 50 easy. 
     

    We look tired or something. It’s weird. There’s no zip in the legs across the ground.

    Relax people, like a cat swatting a mouse. Yes the skill errors are weird but it’s actually well in control. Big credit to Howes for holding Bolton for so long, got off the leash for a hot minute there but a 3rd quarter onslaught coming

    That is the worst half of kicking turnovers I have seen from MFC ever.

    Kamikaze corridor mis kicks! These kicks are killing us. Basically keep handing the ball back to them but when they are in space and in their corridor! 

    Guts from Fritta .

    I'm sorry but I don't think it's unfair to say ...This is the worst we have played for a long time.

    We have gone from being a top four contender to playing like a bottom four one.

    It's a big concern. We do look asleep. ( Again).

    Its not as if we are a poor team but if you watched us for the first time this year.....

    What are we doing prior to the game?

    It's pretty difficult to explain.

    Someone said it was a slop fest and it is but I want to know why 

    Last week we said fatigue. This week it will be the bye 

    But there is something wrong.

    Trac, Viney and May not showing any leadership.

    Yze has put together a game plan against us & it's working.

    He knows how our players operate & being around Melbourne knows he we can also crumble

    Has anyone ever seen so many turnovers?  Kicks DIRECT to opposition players.  
    Eyesight? Jumper clash? (didn’t happen way back when covered in mud). 
    Execution WILL kill us today and for the season.   


    Been feeling this for a while but tonight it has come to a head......we are so f$#@ing boring to watch.

    Just what I was thinking. It’s almost funny.

    We've given them a huge sniff.

    No excuses re three matches in thirteen tonight.

    This is as bad as we've played since the 2019 horror show.

    We are a risk to lose tonight, honestly we deserve it. Did these premiership coaches actually prepared this group for tonight? Or did they think we would just win by default? 🤢🤢🤢

    All going to plan, folks. 

    I wouldn’t be surprised if we do eke out a win here and yes they’ve thrown everything at us but if we were as good as we’re supposed to be we should be able to control the ball under pressure instead of turn it over in dangerous positions time after time. 

    Decision making has been atrocious.

     Loose players not spotted. Pretty ugly from up here.

    May, Rivers, Lever, Gawn in our top 5 disposals. Hello midfield

    It's the turnovers under next to no pressure that are killing us. Beating ourselves right now

    Don’t worry, this is made for the super sub Bailey to come in and look like a million dollars. 

    Windsor kicked two perfect passes to tigers. Petty and Oliver a bit disappointing. 
    Thank god for May, Lever, Gawn and ANB.

    I am sick and tired of Goodwin letting this happen over and over. Where's the physical and mental prep for these games?

    • 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.
