And probably another week off my life. I may as well start smoking.

Ridiculous

We should have buried them and had some fun in the second half.

    Any danger of kicking a drop punt instead of this round the corner [censored] on the non dominant foot?

    I'm worried about our 4th qtr energy

    Great to see how well we are playing across the ground. Lindsay, Oliver and Bowey in full flight. Max giving Grundy a lesson. Chandler and Kozzie running riot .

    But I am way past anger at our goal kicking. And for Melksham to choose to go around his body on his left foot, 35m out on a slight angle is unforgiveable.

    Barely seen a lick of this game I'm at my Grandma's 96th birthday.

    Glad we're in front, sounds like we've been wasteful?

    Goal-kicking. Some of it down to having to rush kicks, but feels like a lot of it is between the ears.

    This is absolutely torture. We should be 50 up at least.

    Yep.

    I just don't get why. It's been an issue for years.

    I mean you can't fault our tackling and chasing. But I wish the club got a team of Vienna Psychiatrists in and sorted it out.

    We have worried Swans players and forced errors all day only to fuzz it all up.

    Training this week is nothing but goal kicking work and some deep hypnosis and counselling.

    Game should be over already, but we've kept them in. That inaccuracy and some of the decisions with the set shots have been downright pathetic.

    Sadly feel they'll get a roll on and we'll curse that wasted dominance and effort. Prove me wrong boys!

    Can any other club match our ability to mess up goalscoring opportunities?

    No. Ironically, One of the only things we are good at........🤪

    It’s been a complete and utter annihilation in every sense except the scoreboard. If we’d delivered on scoring potential, we could have recovered all our bunk percentage in one game.

    Maybe her eyesight is better than these blokes.

    I will give credit to Oliver and Langdon.

    And of course Kozzie.

    • 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.
