What happened to our forward press? It used to be impenetrable. Now teams go coast to coast with ease. Are we unfit or not coached enough on positioning?

Onfield leadership and fitness have killed this part of our game. No Brayshaw, and Bowey and Salem constantly injured has really hurt. 
We're also playing Langdon up the ground so he can't get back in time to provide an additional number.

Ahh this inaccuracy is doing my head in.


Good kicking is good footy

When, oh when (Delilah), will we ever kick straight again (insert Angels’ eponymous chant)

They might be trying for more forward, momentum from Monners?

Possibly.  In that case make it McVee.

Tommo is the wrong option imo regardless

 

Why is May playing behind Hipwood 80m from the ball? He has no chance to impact that contest on a normal sized player let alone someone with Hipwood's height. Dreadful defending, but of course letting them waltz out of the middle doesn't help.

Hipwood looks like someone drew Rafael Nadal from memory.

is the sporting globe shut?

The sporting globe in Richmond was getting refurbished a month ago. Was closed, I even looked on their website before I went, and there was no indication. Ended up going to"the spread eagle", 372 Bridge Rd, upstairs, asked for some volume and they turned up the sound.

Oh My God. 

I always think to myself (what a wonderful world), does our club call our bad - and I mean really bad, totally inept - umpiring to the relevant people in the AFL. Or do we shrug our shoulders. 


From the AFL match website

Since Round 12, the Demons have posted a shot at goal accuracy of 42.1% – ranked last. They have conceded a shot at goal accuracy of 63.0% – ranked last. Tonight they have a shot at goal accuracy of 17%.

  • 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.
