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.

    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

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
