Kozzi, Salem, Viney all solid

we started to get our structure right in the last 7-8 mins

itll come. 

Brown needs to aggressively attack the ball not just wait for it. 

and we generally need to go in harder and win contested footy at stoppages

    It’s been horrid all round. AFL making a mess of the rules again with random interpretation changes mid season

    Well we had a chance to recruit McKay or Curnow, yet we decided to draft Weideman.

    Thanks for the history lesson 

    Eagles have done at least 4 incorrect disposals / throws not penalised.  
     

    And why do the umpires  try to coach?  If thee is a block, penalise it and the message will get through.

    Really think it's time to go past Ben Brown.  Hope he proves me wrong for the rest of the game but I think he is cooked.

    If the rest stopped kicking it behind him or over his head he’d look better

    A very useless comment to make 9 years down the track  🙄

    Try being St Kilda

    Not that far behind on the scoreboard and plenty of time left in this. We'll still win from here, but there are some serious problems we need to address if we're going to compete for a flag again this year and the next few. Our midfield has been horrible this year. Horrible. Our forward line doesn't have the right personnel, but the midfield does them no favors.

    Are you sure?

    Harley Reid alone could tear our midfield apart. Same old [censored], poor centre clearance.

    With all the supply their forwards are going to get it looks dire.

    Why do we lose first quarters so often.

    There is something wrong with our game prep for sure.

    The lazy kicky to players is killing us.

    Some of these blokes need a rocket up them  during the break.

    Salo first game back excellent.

    We don't deserve top 4, the way we are playing and the luck some of the other teams have (see Port and Collingwood). We will be lucky to play finals. 

    Unless things change drastically we are not a contender this season, simple as that.

    not simple as that at all

    3 weeks ago Giants and Cats were unbeatable and flag favourites 

    when we win this game we will be third


    For the life of me when will our club ever find a gun , even the bottom teams have better power fwds and our so called A grade mids look d grade

    I read your posts and I want to contact the boss of Guinness Book of World Records. If there's a record for relentlessly posting "we're doomed, we're doomed, don't you know we're doomed" posts, surely you've just surpassed it El Diatribe.

    Have you thought about one per quarter?

    I noticed Kossie leave the ground to bump high again early in that quarter. So much for learning his lesson. Very lucky he missed completely

    It mostly comes back to the mids getting some two way running into their game and hitting targets as we transition forward with some speed on the ball.

    The stop and prop possession / momentum game is a killer for forwards and there's no need for it unless you ARE needing to arrest momentum later in a game or icing / protecting a lead.

    Viney needs to get more accurate in general.  Massive turnover king this season which is killing many of our transitions forward.

    Sparrow on the wing like it’s 2020.

    No cohesion with the forwards. 

    May and Gawn giving nothing. 

    Oliver coughing it up. No cohesion with Viney, Oliver and most of the mids.

    Shes going to get ugly

    • 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.
