Billings has no awareness. his man slipped over when he took the mark but billings wasn't paying attention. He could have played on and had plenty of space in front of him to do so.

i complain about billings every week so you could accuse me of bias. fair enough. but billings is not the answer imo

I don't rate him at all! 

 

Really difficult to watch this. Our kicking and physical intensity have been horrid. Even when we do begin winning contests etc... our kicking for goal (4 of them from within 30 metres) is like country reserves footy. 

Petty has played 1 good game in 5 and the rest he has been invisible

we needed him tonight. not talking just goals but just to compete and hold the ball in

 

Reid is making us look second rate in the midfield. I'll be surprised if we get back from here. The Eagles look better than us today. 

Billings has to go now. He’s deplorable by foot, and that was the only reason we got him.

He infuriates me.


BBB is a very good person and has been  a very good player - but not for the future.

 

Salem is not a midfielder - his disposal is not as good as it was and he is too slow.

 

Now is the time for our good players to stand up.

 Billings.  Saints are laughing at us.  He is a spud.  Goalkicking like a dyslexic person at a spelling bee !!!! 

I think the AFL world are laughing at the Saints

 

Lucky to be only 3 goals down. We can still win this. But certainly don't deserve to


This is a much worse result than the 2018 prelim IMO. Simply haven’t turned up and we don’t have the cattle to win a flag, or even a final at this rate. Petty, Brown, Billings all cooked. How we can butcher the ball so badly is beyond me. Absolutely gutless and disgraceful effort given the importance of the 4 points. 

Goody nerds to take our mids after this game and give them a decent kick in the bum.

Oliver16 disposals 

Tracca 16 disposals.

Viney 14 disposals.

Sparrow 9 disposals ( very low)

Harley Reid a young kid panting them all.

This is the third last team.

Chandler too has gone into a big slump like he did last year.

Yeah, what is the story. I have no faith in Billing's by foot. I don't understand why we traded him.

If we're fair dinkum this year we win.

Aren’t we meant to be winning this game easily?

Again we aren’t as good what many believe we are.

Mid table team.

We have the talent, we lose it above the shoulders.

This is going to be up there with our loss to Sydney in 1993.


meth coke will end up winning by 5-7 goals imo

losing lever in first 5 mins was a blow, but their pace is what is destroying us

it's a carbon copy of when meth coke knocked off flagmantle; just too quick and reid is a superdooperstar

Simple the game has changed, we haven't since 21.

We’ve changed, for the worse. Attempted to reverse engineer something like 2020 Richmond and haven’t added the list pieces to fill the gaps for where the game is going 

 

Not enough run in this team.  Too stagnant in general which brings the heat

  • 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.
