Did you see Jeffo's game today Picket? Not great

No missed it but didn't sound good at all, HOWEVER still should have been given a game today on form!

 

Seems like we have lifted the shackles a little bit today. Wish we had played this style a few weeks earlier. 
So frustrating..

I’ve lost count on how many times Rivers has turned it over by foot. Zero pressure and zero composure. Shocking game today.

 

Petty, Petty , Petty ....this ain't no petty little effort today.

Keep em goals coming.

 

Rivers needs to be subbed... nevermind 😮‍💨

Because he’s played ONE game there? [censored]

And got nowhere near it. Not saying it won’t happen in time but he’s still learning half back. 

Germology more like it.

Will the midfield McVee fanboys admit they were wrong?

Not a fan of taking in a larger sample before making a call? Don’t be thorough. That gets in the way of a good shout.

Yeah and we should delist Kozzy while we're at it.

Has been very good today, BUT when you are gifted games you should play one good one per season!

I’d rather Rivers turn it over 100 times than we play long bomb footy. Trent rarely misses targets when people run with him for options.

That last switch was a perfect indication. No one was giving anything until Kolt late 

Damn that was poor. 3 free Melbourne players and they fluff the mark. 2 goal turnover. 


Tholstrup only young but geez how did he drop that

Kolt is going to hate the review of this game. It’s good for him to be out there, but he’s made some poor decisions.

You've got to laugh when 3 players of our own team spoil each other mark. Luckily no score from that silly turnover.

Thomlinson fully had 'im.

Happy to wait for a larger sample when he’s physically mature and experienced at the level.

Posters have whinged all year that we had Daicos in the backline. 

awful kick howes (nearly cam e good thought)

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

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.
