More soccer practice is needed on Monday. Maybe they could change it up and include netball...

Well I have said it since 2022 our midfield is one paced lack of skills and people on here said I was wrong well it's only going to get worse from now on welcome to the show.

I see the soccer practice fixed our ball skills.

Then Viney and Salem wouldn't get a game then.

The game against the Roos should largely fall on the midfield. However, we have players who cannot move the ball quickly: May, Lever, Petty, Viney, Sparrow, McDonald, and to a degree, Rivers. They stop and look down the line first, and are too slow to react. Even when the ball is switched, it is still mark and prop, as the midfield does not move quick enough. Case in point: the Hawks. Once it's switched, it's all go. Gold Coast will try to play on and run at all times. Hopefully, not playing at the G much might be a little more difficult.

I didn't realise the club is not operating without a CEO; shut the doors; what a load of [censored] and non-story by opinion writers who rush these days for a story I prefer the club takes its time to get who they want for the long run.

Reid for Oliver

lmfao gold.

Especially when it's wet..

Well he was employed as a .... https://www.melbournefc.com.au/teams/afl/coaches/troy-chaplin

Nothing better than someone trying Gotcha, so with that when did McQualter start coaching at Melbourne oh that's right 2024 what year is it now so one year and how long has Chapin been at Melbourne 2016 and stated out as a what https://www.melbournefc.com.au/teams/afl/coaches/troy-chaplin How about you compare apples with apples not pears.

So he's been there for how long I think he's seen the problems first hand for several years.

And yet he's the forward coach the buck stops there full stop.

Big difference one is the gameplan, two the players they had to work with we have had this problem for 3 years it's not like it just started this year, and what doesn't help is a one paced midfield with poor football decision making and poor football skills by hand and foot, if and I mean if this season becomes a complete mess I would be looking to trade some bigger names out to get what we need, before tasmania come in.

8 hours ago, Macca said: We need better key forwards I'm not enamoured with Turner, Johnson, Jefferson or JVR. Maybe we could try Kentfield? Kentfield, I have a rap on. He just needs good coaching, loves a contest, has a good football instinct, but needs time; get Hawkins or someone like him down there to mentor these young players, same for JVR, Turner regarding Jefferson, I'm not sure if he will make it.

Use Turner as a lead up player but no use leading when the midfield can't kick to you.

Yes the backline was under the pump but a big part of it was the midfield, lack of run turning it over so often the ball keeps getting pumped in we have a one paced midfield, a forward line that's stagnant but let's see what happens next week.

Well a lawn bowls side would have been more competitive than what was offered today.

If it affects you to much you don’t play simple, remember Brent Moloney did that against Geelong and got criticized for being selfish for playing the game.

We were like the dogs. Everythingg fell in plac,e so yea,h we snagged a fla,g then sides worked us ou,t and we kept playing the same brand.

Lmfao I said that in 22, and 23 on winning the flag in 21 and got attacked for it glad someone else said it...

Max cannot jump at centre bounces anymore and he's good when he can grapple with smaller body Ruckman Xerri is not one of those.

I cannot wait to see what the defenders say about this performance; wet last week, I didn't have enough sleep, or their loading, spin it all you like. It’s woeful, one-paced midfield being showing up again.

Being sarcastic...
