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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
