T Mc and Tomlinson keep running to the same spots the big dumb oafs. Seriously, it cant be that hard to go man on man 

 

Not sure how we can possibly close this gap with our non competitive midfield and our lack of forwardline. 

This is comedy champagne footy.

Getting spanked around the footy and on the outside.

This is WC game all over again.

Goodwin has not learnt a thing this year.

 

V, V, V poor. 

We’re going to need to sharpen up pretty quickly but I’m not seeing how. Everyone looks so sloppy and sluggish across the board. Pretty disheartening. 

Freo's best first quarter for the year.

Freo's best half for the year.

We consistently make this irrelevant spud of a club look like superstars.

Petty is a liability FULL STOP

Anyone in here who genuinely thinks we are a flag chance has rocks in their head. Been clear for quite some time.

Your man Fritta just being a physical beast as he is in that last contest @DeeSpencer

Found himself in front for the first time ever and had no idea what to do!

So many of our players are disinterested or happy to not give 100%. That is a coaching problem. Clearly Goody’s messages aren’t getting through, or he has lost the players.

It’s like we want to play finals, but aren’t willing to put in the effort to get there.

This is diabolical

Your last three words are superfluous.


How does Turner drop a chest mark like that?

basic stuff guys

Disgraceful footy … same old BS from Goodwin game plan, let’s extended his contract to destroy the remaining talent 

Edited by Demonsone

Another demolition job. We haven’t been this poor since 2020. This season is definitely not going anywhere fast. 

Why won’t Melbourne make the perceived hard call and not play players who aren’t in form. Petty is currently useless. Hunter should not have come in the team when he did. Disco is not a forward. 
 

Petty is a complete liability at the moment and should be back at Casey. Is the reason he is playing is so that we can keep his price tag high? It isn’t working.


We are not interested.

Can we please drop Petty.

Every week he gets two kicks.

We just can't keep carrying him.

McAdam too.

We have no forward line at all. 

 

I know he's a premiership coach, but when you consistently lose the same way the pressure is going to come on Goodwin sooner rather than later.

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.
