Pederson hit high, tripped, got rid of the ball, pinged holding the ball.  Worst umpiring decision I've seen in a very long time.

Copped three bad ones in the last quarter. Terrible umpiring.

    Without Frost and Vince we would have been beaten badly. Great effort from both.

    Keilty impressive down back, showed plenty of composure. 

    Tim Smith worked hard all day, great game from him. 

    Baker, Vince good also. 

    Jeffy, better...

    Loved the Bernie interview post match. However long it takes, he will be banging the door down to get back in the team. He’s not giving up just yet.

    Baker has the worst haircut in the VFL

    His girlfriend may be his hairdresser. She appears to be wearing a Pies scarf in the Instagram pic.

    Really liked the games of Baker, Stretch, Vince, Smith and Kielty.  Lots at the next level, Frost good amongst them.  DJ goes hard.  Not much of JKH or Bugg today.  Need more from Balic.  Garlett not on form today - not sure if it was because it didn’t go right for him, or he just didn’t go enough? Kent was way off the pace, but probably better for the run.

    Baker was terrific! Good size too. Could certainly see him on a wing in the AFL side

    Twice in the last Kent had the chance to seal the game one did not make the distance and the other was almost out on the full. Poor kicking from a senior player.

    I think Dom Tyson will be looking over his shoulder.

    Every week I watch Casey we get slaughter in the ruck the opposition get first use of the ball. King must be the worse ruckman going around in the vfl. Today is no exception. God helps if we ever to use him in the seniors.

    king has no afl attributes, young but no potential

    Nick hind from essendon is certainly worth a look in at the draft, might be a good  fit as an outside runner that we so desperately need and bog imo

    Reckon Baker and Stretch must be given a go very soon, Stretch has become a lot tougher

    Good hard fought win

     

    STRETCH - Prolific but done nothing to suggest he can take the next step

    KENT - Poor really rusty.

    FROST - Really good game.

    PEDERSEN - Serviceable game, took a few good marks.

    VINCE - Fantastic game, too good for VFL level.

    KENNEDY HARRIS - No real impact.

    BALIC - In and out of the game.

    BUGG - No real impact as well.

    BAKER - BOG must be close to AFL selection.

    KING - Still developing took a nice mark and kicked a nice goal.

    GARLETT - Poor really struggling at VFL level.

    JOHNSTONE - Done some good things developing nicely as a backman.

    T.SMITH - Started like a house on fire, but died out of the game late.

    KEILTY - Mr. Dependable the best backman on the ground.

    FILIPOVIC - No real impact.

    A bit hard on Billy methinks. Otherwise spot on. Probably Keilty’s best game.

    Can’t see Vince back unless he swaps with Lewis. Thought Keilty was excellent and Frost good, stretch first half very good but little impact on second half. Baker covers the ground well and wins the ball well but doesn’t do much with it yet. I think the rest are nothing more than back ups to our best 22.

    I watch Casey each week. Unless there are a lot of injuries Gartlett is finished. JKH was consistently beaten one on one all day. 

    On the bright side Baker gets better each week. Spoke to him at Willy and he spoke a lot of sense. 

    Also I have been harsh on Frost but the last two weeks has been very good. Dion is also improving  

    Lets hope nothing happens to Gawn because Casey ruchmen are three years away.

    Could flatten his kicks out a bit; has a tendancy to up and unders

    Second week in a row Billy has had a hard tag in the second half. I'm not sure it's something he'd have to cope with at AFL level.

    • 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.
