Fullarton is a tax scam I swear. 

Reality is this year was [censored] as soon as we traded Grundy and brought in a guy who averages 4 hit outs a game.

    Can we just stop letting Freo look like a premiership team every single time we play them?

    How is this putrid stand for nothing irrelevant club  constantly having the wood over us?

    They wear purple and their mascot is a [censored] anchor. wtf!

    Yep Freo aren't Essendon.

    Dodged a bullet last week but Freo much better in ruck department.

    Goody made a boo boo.

    Not good but we are in it

    What game are you watching? We are getting [censored] in every aspect of the game. 
    we will do well to keep the final margin below 10 goals here 

    • Haha 1

    0.2 in a qtr is not good enough. 

    The truth is freo would be buoyed by the way they trashed us not even 2 months ago, so we’ll need a fairly dramatic turn in skills and mindset to make this a game.

    Pickett slow to dispose 💩

    Fritsch poor kick into F50💩

    Fritsch miss tackle 💩

    Tmcd too slow 💩

    Chandler miss from 25 metres 💩

    sparrow and Salem are passengers … one disposal each !!! 💩

    McVee 👏 may 👏 Langdon 👏riv 👏

    Agree - was thinking it’s like we have concrete in our boots.

    Well we have a lot of scope for improvement…

    Ir stick a skewer through their eardrums

    We look like vfl kids against the best team in the land. wtf is going on? we look nervous and scared

    they should be 8 goals up

    will we show anything? make a physical statement?

    not going off our history 

    You can tell the players didn’t believe they could win with no ruck. There is a notable lack of effort or desire. 
     

    The word uncompetitive comes to mind again. The midfielders are lacking intensity and Freo are just waltzing out of stoppage. 

     

    I don’t understand what anyone thinks Fullarton would have done. Have you seen him play?

    The issue is coaching. We know what they do. We saw it first hand 6 weeks ago. We had come in with a different plan.

    • 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.
