Is Langdon any chance of ever contesting an aerial ball?

Defence has sucked tonight

Bit our midfield has let Carlton walk it in unencumbered.  Add an impotent three talls fwd in Petty, Turner and Jvr and we were always in trouble.

Since we have gone down fighting I'd suggest we need to fix our pregame routine.

Why were we so flat at the start?

Jard to account for that start.

Exactly the same as lions and tigers ( ha ha) games.

Shocking sleepy start with fightback later.

Not good enough

This is the Collingwood QF all over again. Dominate the second half in inside 50s. Bad kicking.

This game was over at quarter time. Nothing like the QF

Who told Max Gawn he's a good kick? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Max

 

Our field kicking tonight has been shocking. Feels like a big drop off. All throughout the game, kicks to disadvantage regularly. 


carlton going to flood their defence for the rest of the game. we're just going to huff and puff and not blow their house down

Carlton supporters booing. Turn it up

They have no idea - clueless [censored]


No one hitting uo the leading lane there for Billings on the wing.

Max finally clicked but way too late and ended up short of the contest and lost the battle.

Horrid forward craft.  Sorry but you aint making a PF doing that let alone a GF

Centre clearances 13-8 😡😡😡😡

Yep. 

We are supposed to have the best midfield about. I know Traccas fwd but it's really struggling this year. 

Gee the umps make up the htb rule hot and cold 


Should be fun at work tomorrow, cop the usual ‘pretenders’ from colleagues.

Still can’t believe we were 5 goals down at quarter time. It’s just not good enough.

well done JVR

carlton to win the clearance and respond immediately

  • 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.
