Hmmm having politically incorrect thoughts, let’s move on.

    We are not the Tigers, so there is no point setting up the same way.

    Correct, we are Melbourne, who lose games they should win.

    They were more like us this time last year. Were only just starting to look like a decent team with a game plan and squad many were still questioning. Stuff being copy cats. Just like they chose to lets do it the Melbourne way.

    Isn't it nice to see Tyson retained his spot, thought he was playing his role (whatever that may be of course), good ol' SMTJ said I have no idea and would show that when Tyson was dropped, I wonder if SMTJ has any idea why Tyson wasn't dropped

    @stevethemanjordan

    I was always going to wait until today's result to respond to your post.

    The most humorous part of all of this is your complete lack of understanding of the fact that even AFL coaches get things wrong at times. Whether it's team selections, strategy, game-plan or anything else.

    For the last decade or so you have continued to back whoever was in charge at our club, no matter the result. And you have been made to look silly so many times because of your lack of football knowledge and blind faith in the club. 

    The only thing that I am embarrassed about re Tyson playing this week is the fact that he again had no impact on the game and Goodwin played him on the wing AGAIN.

    Of course you'd wait hero, Tyson had about 17 mates today   or you sheeting the blame on him solely

    Look silly, I don't pick the team, nothing to do with me, experts on here neither

    Drop Garlett

    We need Garlett back

    Great to see Petty get a game, we need another tall

    Petty not up to it

    Drop Vince etc etc etc

    Kings of hindsight, what if we had had a resounding win and Tyson starred, would you have posted then    ??? nah 

    I support MY club, still disappointed with poor defensive effort yesterday, just don't need to beat my chest about it

    It’s weird, but at the moment I’d prefer to play anywhere but the MCG ,where we’ve been playing terribly of late.

    • 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.
