Bring in the psychologist

The psychologist has left the building a long time ago. Was going to see his own psychologist.

    the kicking is now in their head, I have no doubt. We have always been a bad kicking side, but never this bad.

    Do they even do goal kicking practice?

    How have they allowed this to continue year after year?

    Isn't Mark Williams our kicking coach. He's about 20 years past his use by date. I understand he's a respected figure and likes the job but I actually don't think he can do it.

    9 scoring shots for 12 points is a [censored] disgrace.

    Totally embarrassing. They honestly should be ashamed.


    Just stopping by for my obligatory game day “good kicking is good footy” drive by. Bad kicking really is axiomatic of the Melbourne Football Club isn’t it.

    Crazy

    any chance these professionals might take their profession seriously and spend time on goal kicking practice

    absolutely pathetic skills
     

    Trac, Oliver and Pickett the million dollar men and none of them can kick.

    The fact is, if you have bad set shot kickers having shots on goal then you're going to kick lots of behinds.

    Petracca,

    Melksham,

    Langdon

    All bad at set shots with a drop punt.

    1 goal 6 and an oooooof!

    Saw another clip of Gawny practicing hook kicks from the boundary during the week.

    These blokes are dead set amateurs in their approach and preparation.

    And..... The coaching panel should be sorting this pathetic attitude and lack of skills out...about 3 f'ing years ago.

    Dead set

    It’s missing set shots form close to goal that hurts the most that 3 inside 30 1 on the full and 2 behinds. Be one thing if they were bombs from the boundary line 50 out or in traffic but these are the most easy shots a player could ask for

    Who the hell is teaching them to hold the ball on set shots?? Melksham and Petracca awful technique. Get Dunstall down there over summer. Skill atrocious. Over paid fat cats.


    Rinse & Repeat .. its cost us games, finals 4 seasons on & it’s getting worse…who’s in charge of our kicking skills should be flicked

    Admittedly, Picket usually can. He’s probably just down in confidence like the rest of them. I think that’s two weeks in a row, or at least I’ve seen him belly the ball twice in a span of weeks. Always rushing when he has all the time in the world.

    Freo doing the same. 2.5 in the last Q

    The weakening thing is: you could see on Tracc's face as he was lining up that he knew he would miss and don't want to kick it. Reminded me of Eishold, 1987 prelim


    Any chance Fritsch can pull his finger out and get involved. Runs around like an entitled child.

    When will this madness end?

    Petracca - 2 misses from 35m and 45m directly in front
    Langdon - misses 35m out directly in front
    Melksham - misses 40m out directly in front
    Pickett - misses from 15m on a 45degree angle
    Jefferson - misses from 3m out on the line (don't forwards practice opposite kicking around the body? This would have an easy shot if on the other side).

    This is the MFC mantra.

    on the positive side, i think we're well ahead on expected scores

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
