This no ruck has backfired big time

although wouldn’t change the score as much   

Even a few wins helps D35.  Especially at 666.

You cant keep handing them first use at pretty much every stoppage.  Insanity

Clearance 18/1

The ump should just hand the ball to Darcy for centre bounces.


We are rabble.

We were smashed here by eagles .

I don't know why I even hoped we were a chance.

We look so tired.

What are we doing before games?

Playing kick to kick all morning.

This is embarrassing.

And yes I'm calling out the usual suspects...

Petty and Sparrow.

But they are not alone today.

Freo running so much harder and wanting the ball so much more .

I feel sorry for those who flew over.

 

 

i know its a stop gap but Petty in the ruck is hopeless. 


This continues for too much longer I'm goin' fishin'.

They’re just walking thru us.

[censored] this for embarrassing 

5 goals up, now the chook is cookin.

Their mids aren't just winning clearances, they are fierce and physical, they just pushing us out of the way.

Lever [censored] lazy defending!

Sparrow too busy guarding space when Fyfe was by himself.

Petty is as weak as a butter in every ruck contest.

Embarrassing display. About ready to turn it off.


Anyone blaming the defenders when the ball is coming forward with no pressure is as brain dead as the people at the club who decided to go with Gawn as sole ruck.

The only option from here is to go man on man for the remainder of this quarter.

Is this coach / team capable though?

We're like witches hats 


Send Petty back, TMac into ruck and JVR has to stay forward.

Gotta try something 

Lever ball watching while Jackson stands alone in the 50.

This is horrific.

 

What’s the punishment for a forfeit?

Theres no point playing any more on this god awful surface. 

Just now, chook fowler said:

Pathetic coaching and selection. How could they not see that their talls would fist us.

Lever having a mare.

Didn't even jump or put his hands up on the mark.

Disgraceful.

  • 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.
