Trac has had a great 10 minutes. Best for the year. 

He is looking desperate. When Petracca plays with intent he is noticeable. Absolute bull when he is on.

    Can the 27 Melbourne supporters there please cheer louder when we score as it sounds like the place is full of Docker supporters.

     

    Centre clearances 7-2. No Sandy or Fyfe but that’s a great result.

    3-1 he misses

    F k I wasn’t being serious.

    If you were an opposition team and we ever made finals and had to kick a goal deep into time on in the last you would leave Gawn totally free. He would chit the bed.

     

    Trac doing team things tonight, but we are going to set the record for points, I'm tipping 15.30

    Maxy really is mentally weak in front of goal, I'd actually take Bugg before him in a kick for my life.

    He should just handball immediately now, it's just not worth the risk.

    This should be over.  The poor kicking is just turning this into a rubbish spectacle.

    Just spotted an Essendon supporter. Have seen a few Sydney supporters.

    Not sure why Frost hasn't been in the team. 

    I've been calling for him for about 3 months.

    And there's the obligatory goal concession inside the last minute. Every week we see the same crap. I've seen that Max Gawn kick at goal 4 times this year now. I was over it 15 rounds ago.

    Ffs... Even if we scrape through this week, Doggies will belt us by 60+ next week. 

    We are [censored] unbelievable. They never get the ball down to their 50, but when they do, it’s a goal. Every. Single. Time. 

    Us on the other hand, we can’t buy a goal.

    • 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.
