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

 

Other than 2021 finals we've always been boring bar the occasional quarter

 

There's no run and gun in this team.

Playing momentum footy for no reason has played right into the depleted Tiger's hands and they will now have massive belief coming into the rooms at half time.

As someone said earlier...no leadership out there anywhere so far.

Maxy had a chance to set things up and settle the team with two in a row and instead went for the hero kick... ughh

Yze knows it’s pressure that beats Melbourne 

What happened to our skills ?

Imagine if we played a good side tonight like Geelong ? Would it be a 100 point drubbing.

Maybe last week wasn’t an abomination?

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

His woeful skills and decision making will fit right in with his teammates.

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

 

There were worse during the Nield years!

It has been a putrid match so far. Skills from both sides atrocious. Umpiring poor both ways. On form it's hard to see how we're a legitimate contender this year with such poor forward connection and conversion. Seems we haven't fixed our main issue of the last two years.


Why does T Mac think he can kick a accurate pass off one step?

he is good when he knows his limitations. 

that turnover was soul destroying

I don’t even know what position Petty is playing. I don’t think he knows. 

He's a waste of a list spot in 2024. Let's hope he comes good before finals or nets us a first round pick when he pisses off to Adelaide.

There's no pressure on half of the missed passes.

Petty can go back to S.A useless

My god we are playing pathetic football. Our skills are more akin to a bottom 4 team, not top 4 (or even top 8).

Our forward line is a basket case, our delivery not much better.

How much longer will our backline be able to keep our sinking ship afloat?


I’m at the ground and watching Petty run around like a headless chook. 
Not only does he not offer a target, his opponent (Miller) runs from him with ease. Yes, I know he had no preseason and he has already had more disposals than he had last match (3 cf 2).

Yeah, nothing compared to the game against Brisbane. Are they still spooked from that game and feel the tigers are on top of them as the Lions did? It looks like that!

Ditto. Beautiful conditions.  Laziness is the word. Pure laziness.

    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.
