What are the broadcasters saying about Kent?

Done for the game. Haven’t said much else.

Gone for the day at least. Commentators are speculating that it's a PCL type injury.

Right rshoulder injury - most likely AC - done for the day

Out for game but most likely year

Having a Vailima - and refusing to pay for international access - how’s the Weid looking?

also - how did Kent do the injury? Innocuous? Jeez - he’s the modern Paul Prymke.


Gunna be a gun fight

Weid starting strong. A good contestes mark and a few involvements.

kent was going hard for a ball. Really unfortunate for him. 

 

Good stuff Gawn. Saves a certain goal deep in DemonTime.

Blow the final siren now.


Neil bullen ball so dangerous could have cost a goal

GWS spread and run on the outside in honestly terrifying. I don't think we can hold them with one down on the bench, likely to pick us apart in second half.


Not a bad first quarter GWS came out hard and we weathered the storm... shame about Kenty.

Should be a ripping game 

Hung in there well. Need some forward pressure bad. If they starting hit some of their targets we'll be toast

It’s no doubt been explained but what’s with the retro looking jumper?

160th anniversary of the day the MFC just quietly invented the game.

    Get ready for an old fashioned arm wrestle. Hopefully no wiener kids screaming 'Over the top Dad! Over the top!'

    Can we hold out with one down on rotations? 


    AGREE defensive pressure needs to improve

    I thought they were already...

    You can't expect a team to hit every one! In saying that, I think we are also playing pretty well. Just a little loose defensively but we'll see how it plays out. Trac needs to hit the sticks when he has the chance rather than trying to lay it off so much

    • 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.
