No excuses.

We have a new coach, and one that doesnt accept 6 goal losses let alone 15 goal ones.

Peter Jackson is here now and he is getting the place in shape.

Whether you hated Neeld, Schwab, McLardy or anyone else it doesn't matter anymore. Thats ancient history.

The club has been bleeding financially and a lot of that is thanks to small crowds.

This week is a home game under lights at the G, 7.40 Saturday.

The boys are coming off a good showing where the result would have been only a few goals if not for cheap free kicks in front of goals to St Kilda.

Neil Craig had us playing a proper brand of footy, and for once we matched the opposition in disposals.

Jimmy Toumpas was very good and will just get better. Mitch Clisby was a revelation. Jack Watts is on the verge of a monster game. Could it be this week?

We Melbourne supporters must get to the MCG in droves to show Neil Craig, the players and the AFL that we mean business and we are ready to watch this club rise again.

This is a 50/50 game and the extra support will help the players, help the spirit of the club and help financially.

GET TO THE G THIS SATURDAY NIGHT AND OUTNUMBER THE DOGS SUPPORTERS 2-1!!! GO DEMONS!!!!!!

    Don't mean to be a negative nancy but its the night of the Wallabies and British Lions tour at Etihad... but I'm sure the AFL didn't realise that when they were sorting out the fixtures - like how they forgot to give us a Friday night game.

    I mean its a pretty spontaneous event, only once in every 12 years, and not really a big deal, just a sell out crowd of 55,000

    Ah, that's unfortunate. Will definitely have an impact on the crowd at our game, I'm sure.

    We're safe on that front. As if Melbourne supporters would go to Etihad.

    Mrs Frankie will be accompanying me, Frankie Junior and the two daughters - one of whom, I regret to say, goes for the Doggies. I can only put his down to a cosmic ray phenomenon - no family influences, nothing. Just decided she liked them when she was about 5, and stuck. All of us will be there for the women's game first.

    I will be there......

    As this seems like our most likely chance of a victory in Melbourne, perhaps the shock late inclusions of Clark, Grimes and Viney are necessary. We could drop them into the ground with a helicopter an hour before the bounce..... Clark wearing a sumo suit to prevent any further injuries, Grimes in a giant inflatable bubble and Viney sporting tissue boxes for footy boots.

    The corresponding game last year was the worst game of AFL I have ever seen from a skill perspective. I say 20,234

    • 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.
