When was the last time Melbourne:

- Conceded this many marks in defensive 50

- Conceded this many scores from centre clearance.

Chandler? You got to be kidding, he may have the desire but his executions ... 🤦🏻

Easily our best on ground.

I mean, seriously, he leads us for marks inside 50, goals, score involvement and metres gained, is behind only tall defenders for 1%ers, going at 75% disposal efficiency.

Has been our only clear winner on the ground.

The fence sitters to sign up as members just fell off the other side and off the cliff 🧨

Memberships numbers will drop even further with this [censored]

 

I want to see a lot of players dropped after today.

But what I really want is every single person at the club responsible for not fixing our fwd line issues that have been so glaringly obvious for just too long.

Surely that's fair.

I think those of us who pay their membership and go each week deserve a lot better than this. Much,much ,much, better.

It's hard to understand that we won a flag less than only FOUR years ago.

And how far we have fallen since we almost beat the 23 premiers and we're likely to win a flag.

I guess there are a couple of superstar midfielders that let us down and the club has done the rest.

It's a shame really. I know it's early days but I think this will be a bad marker like that Freo game when things went belly up.

I know it's not Goodys fault but I think it's alarm bells now and time to panic.... Time for a sweep for me. 

Cheers guys.

Going to be great seeing the happy clappers gloss over this performance

Disgusting and disgraceful are the two most apt words

 

It can't be overstated how pathetic our football skills are

 

Thanks for killing the team Simon


Some of these comments are absolutely absurd.

Xerri is best ruck in the comp and still on the rise. Max had one bad game against him. He doesn’t need to retire after one poor game. 
 

Langdon was a bright spot last year and he’s being asked to shift roles this year. He’s had a bad game. Doesn’t mean his career is over. 
 

Get a grip people. 


What’s happened to the Trent Rivers who was supposed to be our breakout midfielder this year? 
 

We can’t even attract any quality free agents because they know we’re a basket case due to the selfish actions of some our supposed leaders. 

I cannot wait to see what the defenders say about this performance; wet last week, I didn't have enough sleep, or their loading, spin it all you like. It’s woeful, one-paced midfield being showing up again.

Agree it's been an issue for far too long. But the absolutely lunacy and idiocy of the kicking i50 is just as bad an issue, if not worse. From seasoned, best and fairest winning midfielders. One in particular today.

Imagine the crowd next week against the Gold Coast. Glad I've got other plans

All I have to say is [censored] ‘em… they are so disinterested and making zero effort. Absolutely hopeless!!!! And that’s coming from an eternal optimist.

Yep. The lack of effort is very evident. I’m honestly a bit shocked. 
 

Dunno what’s happening within the group/club, but second game of the season and playing like this is a massive concern. 

Was there a wedding or 21st last night. Maybe fat boy slim gig. Either way our prep was terrible to put on this display. 

No need to be alarmed, we’re 3.3% above the bombers on the ladder. 

 

I’m up in level 3 with two Roos-supporting mates. Good times.

  • 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.
