Sorry for the repeat posts.

Phone playing up.

I'd sub Woey on for Chin. Surely.

I don't think I've seen blues penalized once for htb.

Funny last week it was  7 out of 10 frees .

I was going to say our backline has imploded tonight but if our midfielders let them waltz it out of the middle then it's tough.

Pickett fence you were right Jvr is having a rough season.

Kozzie simply took his eyes off the goal then. Looked away for some strange reason and missed 

What a shame we let the blues kick the first five.

We have responded well this quarter.

Of course the umpires haven't given Carlton another dozen frees in the 2 nd and 3 rd.

Gee there have been some really unforced and lazy efforts by not a few tonight.

I hope Goody drops a few.

Billings one.

 

BILLINGS NEEDS TO BE DROPPED.

Fritta really needs to lift. Petty has gone back to playing bad footy.

What is it with Thursday night games and our capacity not to play well

We did alright against Crows

Half chance 

Fritsch. Kozzzy.  Chandler.  Kozzy. 
 

all missed.  
 

needed to get 3 of those.  Not desperate enough 

 

chin off.  Woey on !!!

We need to learn from this game and stop gifting games to any player out of form. 

I agree Sam.

Unfortunately Goody is stubborn and seldom makes statement changes.


Won't win but I reckon we'll get within 20 points

one or two more to end the quarter.

First things first we CANNOT concede the quick reply from the blues as they have done all game. 

We really need to snag two more to keep this to 3 goals in the last. 


Gee we have ruled this quarter.

Lost it at the start with being asleep and some shocking umpiring.

Remove the latter from the first quarter and we would be down by two or three goals.

Well that would be a better result. 


Bowsa might’ve been the wromg option on a wet night.  Plays the short game too often which is not what's needed in the wet.  And the decision to kick to the smallest guy in the forward line coming in under little pressure.

Probably needed a run at Casey first and kept playing Woey on a dewey night who plays a longer game.

Chin trying hard but doesn't impact often enough when he gets his opportunities for mine.  And aside from a few moments in this quarter his F50 pressure in general hasn't been at the  level you'd expect from a small pressure forward.

Classic Langdon undercooking a shot on goal at a pivotal moment.

Billing’s that’s enough. How many chances 

C'mon I saw him kick it to a team mate who marked it.

What more do you want?

  • 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.
