JKH plays on when he doesn’t need to after getting a free kick.

Why is this still happening?

Kick straight boys and we are away. Bulldogs are my new 4th best team, beating north ! We just need to win !

 

Which way are we kicking in the 2nd Q?

Did we have a wind advantage in the 1st or midfield dominance?

How can you kick the ball to Aliir so often?

my first post in the changes thread was that we needed to man up on Aliir... he is the big interceptor and the main distributor from their backline.. seems like no one listened

Dominated the quarter but couldn’t finish off our work

He set up that last goal by completely missing the ball which was nice.

 

Midfield came into it in second half of that quarter. Should be a lot further ahead. Don't forget when we played them last year we kicked about the first 5...

Tracca has butchered it a few times but gee he's in amongst it and affecting contests. Getting plenty of the ball. Watch this space.

all the air sucked out of the contest with alex johnson going down

we need to capitalise on our opportunities

it's an acl on his 'good' knee - that's gutting


That ball movement out of the backline though… 

Blistering.

 

Missed it again Jesse. So frustrating.

Salem beautiful kick...

Demons starting to press claims on this one now.


jesse? wtf?

 

Tyson set all that up with a fantastic long range handball. 


Jesse playing well but needs to kick straight to get his nerves right.

Can’t understate how impressed I am by Tyson these last two weeks. Super happy for him and it’s great for us.

  • 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.
