Oh no Chandler going to get 2 goals, he's not going to lose his spot until the end of the season now

 

Don't worry. We've got Freo just where we want them. 

Goody has a fiendish plan.....make them accountable.

That mark and kick from Melksham was the only thing to cheer about today.

Lovely mark and kick from Melky. I still don’t understand the 50 metre rule. It’s now all about protecting imaginary space, instead of punching a guy in the head, or wasting time. It’s so dumb.

Fancy not knowing anything about football blaming a small forward for this performance when we are -19 for clearances 😂

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

And he then kicks 2

Was sensational

Dogga's tatts look like he was bored in art class with a sharpie pen


How about Windsor on ball to start the last?

Would love to see his run in the middle

Ahhh because we are 6 goals down and need a change. Rivers was slow and lazy in the middle today. He wasn’t dominating.

Rivers has improved the backline. Salem has been more involved in the middle.

If we had 2 Rivers we’d just play both of them.

Everyone was failing in the middle in the first half.  Clearances 21 - 2

The no ruck decision is hardly on Rivers.

Aren't you blaming umpires? or the defenders when the midfield give up -19 clearances?

You can’t touch a Freo player without giving a free. What a joke.

They were smashed around the ground as much as stoppages 

Disgusting Umpiring decision by Simon Meredith.

Neal-Bullen was pushed into the umpire by Fyfe.

I swear freo are getting free kicks just coz now. 

Our performance aside, Freo have played some excellent footy. Working extremely hard to beat us on the counter.

Well that scores not great.

What happened to koltyn? The afl site said he could be out of the game

Just a strategic sub.

Please show me where I blamed the umpires? 
I was saying they’ve been poor but it’s not why we are losing. Learn to read. 
 

Senior defenders not defending behind the ball is also a big problem. 

But when we have had so few inside 50s, you can’t be blaming forwards for this loss. Chandler been better than Kosi FYI.

You cant just throw a rookie on the ball.  He needs to train for it and learn a little about how to play the role first

 

Nibbler couldn’t hit the side of a barn if his life depended on it. Pathetic by foot.

  • 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.
