GET SHARP OFF

 

From the Age live game coverage:

This is the missed trip that cost Melbourne the half-time lead against Hawthorn at the MCG.

Damaging Demons forward Kysaiah Pickett was blatantly brought down in the goal square during a tight second term, but the umpires allowed play to continue as Hawthorn held on to a one-point lead at the long break.

 

Not sure the twos have helped Roo.

Umps starting well again.

Great mark Fritta.

Terrible miss.

As usual


I'm at the point where I feel more comfortable watching Max have a shot then Fritsch

The only way it’s possible to get that Kozzie trip call so wrong is if the multiple umpires in the area weren’t watching the play. That’s just plain incompetence.

Speaking of incompetence: how’s our goal kicking going? If we lose this match it will 100% be because of all the misses in Q2. I can’t see Hawthorn allowing the dominance we had in that quarter to continue, so we may pay very dearly.

They should all have a week off after that

The holding the man is off the charts. Tackled with out it. Held in ruck contests. Held before tacking possession in midfield. Not one [censored] call from the maggots.

"Somehow get it to Impy."

Just call it what it was .... A throw.


Oh we are hard to watch at times

I50s

32 to us 23 Hawks

You're not suggesting we need to work on our connnnnnnnnnection?

 

Sorry but Oliver shouldn't be playing just watching him today he's just jogging around & that last goal then by the hawks player, he just ran straight past Clayton & he just stood there flat footed & didn't bother to tackle

  • 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.
