Can someone explain how we beat the Saints last week

OLIVER ZERO CONTESTED POSSESSIONS IN A HALF OF FOOTY

VINEY WITH ONE

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS MIDFIELD?!

Petty not one touch.

can't retain possession at all, this is neeld era sort of bad. 


I blame umpire 22 for this. 

Wish sportsbet would declare this information before placing a bet on a game with him umpiring.

It’s the new dees red and blue print didnt you get the memo, we are saving ourself for September 

Midfield and wings non existent today

 

Can someone in this club stand up and tell us exactly what the hell is going on in Alice Springs? 🤬

I cannot remember the last time I felt genuinely embarrassed watching us play. It’s been years. 


Game over & it's only half time.

Feel for the demon fans who forked out money to fly to Alice Springs & pay to attend this game 

We haven't been able to

  • Win the ball on the inside 
  • win the ball on the outside 
  • defend ball movement 
  • defend slow entries 
  • move the ball
  • turn the ball over
  • effectively lay tackles 
  • win contested marks 

and much more. 

hard to name a single thing that's been AFL standard in this first half

It is shaping up as an ugly pasting, so disappointing. The Dees really need some drastic changes at HT.

However, if there is one team that could blow it from here, it is Freo.

No anything in the cupboard unfortunately, aside from Lever and JVR this is our best 22

You could argue melksham also but that’s not going to change much. 

Eff me Petty touched the ball


See ya next year boys

You don’t want to win bad enough 

and can we PLEASE stop selling Home Games 

 

Edited by Sir Why You Little

I'd like to start the Post Game thread please. 

And I'd like to start with 'WTF....'

Sick of this club selling home games, for what? This result says it all. 

If you genuinely think the ground is the problem, you are just making excuses for what is a putrid lack of effort. 
 

 

Petty and Turner, our two key forwards, with only one possession each in the half.

  • 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.
