Pretty close to a sling tackle.......

Smith was probably playing his best game today. Typical Melbourne.

And to get injured in a game like this...

Smith down... thought it was Hogan for a second.

It's a shame he has been good today.

Me too, they look very similar. Poor bugger, doesn’t look good. 

 

Get Dec in.

They’ve played heaps better since 1/4 time 

I am not suprised they have. But the contest was dead. 

I doubt coach Dew told them all to roll over at 1/4 time

Psychology says it is difficult to maintain pressure when there is none


Poor  bloke feel for him. Shocking luck

Hibberd and Hunt in the wings, bad luck Joel, that’s twice now he’s been injured when playing his best game hasn’t it?

 

Why doesn’t Petracca go back when taking a kick??? Always off one step. Anyone else noticed this with him?

How can you pay that against Lewis but not against GC 2 seconds later?


Dom Tyson, first kick out on the full (under pressure), wonder what Joeboy will say now ... ;)

Hogan coming into some form. Find a negative in that Dees fans...

Flat track bully?

Watching that attack and mark on the ball left me with a cheeky one-sided grin. Nothing more needed. Beautiful.

Been great. Playing on a teenager. And still haven't seen him jump at a ball yet.

Still. Exactly what you want for him. Calm the nerves with a big showing.

Trac loves to float in front of a pack.


 

109 our biggest of the year against Blues.

16th biggest margin currently.

  • 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.
