Who’s missing from our best side….Petracca and Windsor a first year player. 
Is Salem best 22 anymore?

We have 14 Premiership players today.

I wonder what the record is for most Premiership team players in a team to lose by 10+ goals.

    We should trade Salem to be honest.

    I'm glad so many of you can switch over to the Olympics, I'm stuck with this.

    He won’t get you more than a third rounder.

    Apart from losing contested possession, we are leaving 1 or 2 Dogs players 2 handballs wide of the contest, and then missing most tackles when they press through. Or they go around us. 

    Lever - you have a player, defend him every so often.

    May & TMac - doing a power of work.

    Bont is a star.

    I'm starting to worry about players including Salem, May, Fritta, Lever, Kozzie, Oliver and even Viney.

    Players who should be at the height of their powers yet here we are.

    Clearly the premiership window isn't closed....looks like it's been bricked over.

    This team is not even a ghost of that Premiership team. They should be ashamed of themselves, or just raise their hands as say 'I am not good enough atm'.

    Not sure what we’d get much and to who?

    Yes I’m open to it.

    How many tackles has Oliver missed? 

    Has anyone laid a tackle? I can’t remember one. 

    Seems Yze was the coaching mastermind behind our success. Came in as midfield coach and won a flag with top four years running. Since Mcqualter took over this year we've been rat****. Our stoppage work and lack of clearances recently have been the worst in memory, worse than the Neeld years somehow.

    So be it. He can't contribute anymore and is injury prone.

    Thanks for your service Salo.

    I’m changing my mind every 5 mins with reload or rebuild.

    Premise being reload what? a super soaker? 

    Yeah same here Gawndy. But when you look at how bad Casey are travelling it’s looking a bit grim. 

    only 4 goals down.

    if we could just stem this flow and breakeven this quarter they might tire in the second half

    i'm probably dreaming but they are coming off a 5 day break

    90% of Clarry's disposals this year have been dump kicks or hospital handballs to teammates under pressure

    Not to mention second efforts result in holding the ball.

    North or West Coast I guess.

    Somehow they found a way to load up with spuds who are at Casey’s for a team  in a premiership window, it’s as  if they wanted to push this team off the clif with the dumbest trades and boot out an  All Australian ruckman in Grundy & watch Gawn play on 1 leg … it’s a comedy show & amateur hour from our coaches & recruiters

      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 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.
