Ump 22 again

 

For whatever reason every dump kick out of our 50 is going to a Blues player 

Nah, not good enough. We are going forward and the ball is being contested and dropped to the ground where Blues are mopping it up. Zero pressure. We miss Spargo in games like this. Very very poor.

    I suspected the midfield is going to struggle today. Not going to end well if we can’t win some clean ball in stoppage.

    Who was the turkey who said umps weren't the problem.

    We don't look like scoring tonight. We're trying to run the ball down the ground through handball and aren't slick enough. The last disposal going inside 50 is deplorable and Carlton can then get us on the counter.

    Losing a lot of contested ball as well, which isn't what we would have wanted vs Carlton.

    Game over


    I count we have gone to Fritsch 6 times this Q. He is clearly outsized

    Why not kick to JVR or Petty or Turner?!?!?!?

    Frees 8-2. Looks a pattern.

    Mckay, Pittonet and Dekonning all with goals in wet conditions.

    You can't excuse. You just can't. Carlton have barely gotten out of second gear. That was a clinic in wet weather football.

      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.
