Credit to West Coast, they were very good and far superior to us. 
Unfortunately I don’t think we have the list to play this new game plan we are trying to execute, and when you combine that with a midfield that has not fired a shot all year, something has to really change for us to contend.

Spot on, except I'd say it's 3 years we've had to work on an oppo key forward to get them to us, for nadda.

We've played Petty forward when he's a far better back, paid $600k to watch Grundy play VFL, and now are playing BBB and Turner forward simply because there's no one else.

I'd say our window is well and truly shut. One flag during lockdown from the best list we've had in 60 years. So disappointing 

Window gone, sounds ruthless as our only living premiership coach but why the rush to extend last year?? Haven’t won a final in since 21 flag, can’t help u juries to BB & Tmac but their plan B and recruiting of fwds has been abysmal & start me on the Grundy bs 

 

Rivers my god.  He's turning into the medium sized version of Frosty

When opening this thread was wondering how many posts before “danger game” was thrown up, didn’t get past the first post. Seriously we should destroy the Eagles. Mainly interested to see McAdam play, honestly didn’t know who he was being we picked him up. If he can bring some magic to our fwd line it will obviously make us more dangerous with both him and Kosi down there. Also when Kosi has stints on the ball we will still have some serious X factor in our fwd 50. 
If we are going to try anything today let’s try getting separation with our fwds and back them in one on one.

We're simply not that good

Yep.

We are not.

Last few games have been putrid.

Except for cats who have we beaten. Port?

And now this.

And who do we have at Casey?

 

 

I have not watched or listened but watched the scores as they changed 

 

I take it there are learnings to be had.

sugar coating a turred does not amount to much

Goodwin has absolutely munted this list.

Unless Gawn, Petracca & Oliver dominate every week we generally  lose. They have no quality support around them. We have no midfield depth for regular rotation or to mix it up. The same predictable [censored].

Forward of centre we've been terrible since mid 2022. Goodwin has done nothing but flood our list with mediocre forwards (at the expense of our midfield) - not addressed the actual problem.

We play slow because we are slow.

If he comes out and says we didn't get the game on our terms I'll spew.

  • 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.
