What was with JVR goal not allowed. At the ground and no idea why the review said it hit the post?

    Why on earth was Disco subbed in and put in the backline.

    Goody is doing my head in

    Yep I was dumbfounded when I saw TMAc fwd. Make it make sense.

    5 day breaks only affect us it seems.

    Oh right, TMAC forward now.

    Tanking lite?

    Going by his goal kicking, possibly 😂

    Though his kick was a bit poor, barely made the distance.

    It didn’t look like it in the telly. And no one is questioning it. 


    Daylight between the post and the goal, but no disallow the goal. 
     

    The arc is the most corrupt display of bias I’ve ever seen.

    Maybe the dogs will get tired given they are coming off a 5 day break? Kind of like we do after a 5 day break? It’s about our only chance to steal a 5 goal loss here. 

    Are we going to do our usual thing and come back in the last to lose by less than a kick, and then claim it to be an honorable loss? That practice is a load of bollocks

    So we dominated clearances this quarter without Clarry or Viney doing anything. Interesting.

    Classic Goodwin.

    Try to cobble together some left field strategy with the season on the line.

    Did the same thing last year putting Petty forward in the dying quarter.

    Why is TMac playing forward? He has openly stated his previous injuries have resulted in him being unable to play forward, and the club have told him as much. He was nearly delisted as a result. How is this suddenly not an issue in the middle of a game? This club and coaching staff is a joke, honestly.

    Also, consider the Melksham experiment over. Might as well just retire tomorrow.

    Terrible quarter from the first minute to the last. We have maybe three players who want to be there, the rest are clearly looking forward to going on holidays.

    We are shameful 

    As bad as the umps have been ...yep..we have been five times worse.

    We have no midfield 

     

    It helps when you do.

    Remember when we played this mob in a gf three years ago?

    Seems like a decade and yet a lot of them are still out there getting pantsed.

    Make no mistake the score line doesn't count.

    We have been absolutely put to the sword tonight.

    This year.

     

    I’m not even angry anymore. 
     

    We are literally rock bottom. No fight, no class , nothing. We are fast becoming a joke and irrelevant.

    Disco and Petty back now and Tmac has gone forward. Probably because he was getting too close to punching an umpire in the head. 

    I’ve never seen him so angry. Can’t blame him. I would be suspended for life if I had been out there tonight.

    we are lucky to be as close as we are their kicking has been almost as bad as our team is playing. lack of chasing and tackling is poor. same old same old. not manning up, too many opposition players running free. where is that team that won a grand final, is there any semblance of that team left. very disappointed in the way we have crumbled since winning the flag. our window of opportunity is closing again.

    Just not good enough this year.

    Too many have gone past us.

    I fear we will need a helluva lot to go right to even make the 8 next year.

    • 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.
