How f'ing hard is it for our back to pick up an opponent when the ball is in our f50, knowing that it's likely the ball will slingshot into their f50?

Dumb football

    We're Fremantles [censored] unfortunately. They've had it over us for years for some inexplicable reason despite being a bog average side.

    So Freo just run players forward as they know they'll win most of the ground ball comtests and just sling shot it with speed via quick hands then the long kick out the back.

    The only way to counter that is to either win more one v one contests, dont turn the ball over so often and/or play man on man for a while.  The latter is something we seem incapable of bringing at all, let alone for 10 or so minutes.

    I just don't know why they have to push so relentlessly high.

    Well done Windsor. Ffs just hurt them if you can’t do anything else.

    Goody simply has to go at years end. No it’s not all on him this woeful performance, but he’s the bus driver and has lost control.

    [censored] senior players are an embarrassment today

    thoroughly disgusted with this performance

    hang your heads in shame senior players. getting smashed by Freo not once but twice is pathetic beyond belief

    i'm turning this rubbish off and taking the dog for a walk. much better use of my time.

    Like him but Kade Chandler has probably been gifted too many games.

    Theres no point in complaining. We were never set up to win. Not this game or this season. Inexcusable to make your list worse in the off season and we went and did that.

    Perhaps Lever and May are just following the Game Plan.

    I’ve never been this disappointed in Viney. I love the bloke but start hitting them hard

    Truly embarrassing. 

    Same thing, every time. 

    Have we caught on? 

    Nope. 

    Nibbler needs to play midfield all game now. Nobody can defend like him.

    Where's the pride. Your meant to come out breathing fire after a team has done what Freo did last time. Same with the Pies and Blues game. Just no heart. 

    So far we've dropped 3.4%. Drop another 2% and we'll go below the Dawks.

    • 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.
