3 goals in a half of football is pathetic. Wouldn’t happen if this game had of been played on the G. 

We're lucky this isn't at the G mate. The score might have been worse.

    Cannot remember seeing so many blokes panic with the ball and almost not want it in their hands. Worst performance for a long time.

    Watch for the comeback and lose by 2-3 goals.

    We have gone downhill since our coach stopped partying with the players.

    Nothing to do with the coaches. We've managed to paper over the cracks for a while but Oliver missing the pre-season and down on form, Trac needed up forward because we have no key forwards, losing Brayshaw, Lever out ... it just goes on and on. JVR in for Turner next week but deck chairs.

    Of course it’s on the Coaches. This is all preparation, NOT BEING READY FOR THE CONTEST 

    We are more interested in having a nice weekend up north

    Lol absolutely would have. We kicked 3 in a half against the blues in the G 3 weeks ago, and the same against the cats the week before. The venue isn’t the problem the team is the problem 

    Wasn't it the same against Brisbane?

    I think I might petition to have no Binman on the pod this week because I just can’t put up with 2 hours of this isn’t our midfield’s fault.

    He has a podcast?!?

    This is sadly Melbourne of the old dark days.

    Our midfield is so broken and slow.

    We have definitely lost that hunger and mongrel we had in 21.

    This uninterested mob will struggle to even make finals this year.

    Not trading Petty to Adelaide is one of our bigger list mistakes in a long time

    He’ll become superman when he goes there and kick ten goals per game.

    This sort of performance is very disheartening for the supporters, and of course it had to be a week before the Huge clash against the filth. 😮‍💨

    Dropped 7% in a half of footy.

    My only interest in the second half is whether we can salvage a bit of percentage of back. 

    GC can even replace us in the 8.

    Good, we don’t deserve to be there

    Coaches can only work with what they have. Look at Clarkson at North.

    It's the players and the list.

    • 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.
