    The ball wasn’t even in his hands. He knocked it out when he grabbed him.

    Langford makes a pretty poor blunder....but he's a first year player and that's normal.

    He hangs his head and looks dejected...

    But no-one comes up to give him an encouraging pat on the bum or a small dose of encouragement. And so he's allowed to stew in his feeling of failure.

    And that is how you create a long -lasting ****ty team culture

    Landford looks a mile off it, just wants a cheap handball every time he has the ball.

    Look again.

    Langford actually got some space on Miller then. And then a nice kick to Melky. He’ll get some confidence from that.

    Perhaps next week at training we could practice tackling in the hope that they may actually stick without the opposition breaking them so often.

    Looks like it’s free kick Gold Coast.

    Rowell was holding the ball, but no call. Doesn’t suit their narrative.

    you said you predicted the sub because our forwards stink, really implies you thought it was because of poor playing, not injury.

    They do play poorly.

    For a long time.

    Jake who I called for just booted a magnificent major.

    I'm struggling to understand what you are saying.

    Do you think our fwds are playing well?

    Not being argumentative here just trying to figure your comment out.

    Tx.

    Regardless of who is injured I claimed Jake should have been included as the best rather than the sub.

    Our fwd line has struggled since he went down 18 months ago.

    • 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.
