So nervous. 

This is the most important clash we’ve been involved in in a decade. 

God help my heart. 

no its not. the geelong loss after the siren was just as big, as was the port and stkilda loss.  all of those games cost our season

    Look after yourself mate and be right for the finals.

    I actually think I threw out my back after the geelong game... thanks for the advice. 

    Nervous as hell.

    Hope the MCC bar staff are ready for the pre game onslaught I’m about to bring.

    Completely relaxed.

    Sydney are rubbish.  If we can't beat them and beat them comfortably then we don't deserve to play finals.

    Naturally, I'll take a one point win, but I expect a 30+ point victory.

    Pretty much exactly what I was going to post

    Forget Gawn , Oliver , Hogan, and Tom. Our most important player today is Frost.. if he holds Franklin to less than 3, we win

    The Franklin paranoia is overblown I suspect. The Swans scores in our last four meetings are 86, 85 80 and 60pts

    Having said that our top score has only been 50pts....I hope we are past those kind of scores against the Swans. 

    I predict the Dees by 34pts....

    Living vicariously through one’s offspring is a parent’s prerogative. Especially when it comes to Lego and brainwashing (I mean influencing) in regards to football. My girls favourite songs right now are ‘Happy Dog’ by Justine Clarke and ‘Grand Old Flag’. 

    Yesterday I was at a cafe with my 5 year old and he told the staff that he wants to barrack for Richmond and that I wont let him, the waiter backed me and told him that he'd better fall into line and continue the family tradition if he knows what is best for him.

    This time last week I was driving into Cradle Mountain, it was the start of the 1st qtr and reception on the radio was cutting in and out before deciding to turn it off. We checked into our room at qtr time and was blown away by the score. I promptly filled the spa and climbed in with a fat yak (and my beautiful girlfriend) to watch the rest of the game. We flew back last night and are raring to go for this afternoons game. 

    Massive game, we’re all aware what’s at stake, no excuses as we have the talent to get the job done.

    the fans know how big this is, Goody knows how big this, the players know how big this. lets hope they have the belief in themselves and the hunger and desire to play finals footy. 

    also, what a great cause that this game will support, looking forward to a great clash in which i hope, pray and want the dees to get up. 

    Come on Melbourne!!!!!!

    Edited by Tom Dyson

    Been  a long week waiting for this. Soon will be leaving for MCG  .  Just  Please please win !@!!!!!!!!  even by 1 point.....  though  would like a comfortable win for my mental health.     

    If you look at what the Pies have done this year, Rd 23 last year doesn't look nearly as bad, even the North game to some extent.  Still can't get away from the fact that we both ran out of steam and choked though.

    ...not this time.

    • 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.
