He is also delusional saying it was even after quarter time, had we not kicked 1.11 after quarter time it would've been an 80 point win. We bullied them all night.

    Oh, I thought it was evident. My bad.

    I was most bullish about us beating Geelong and even wanting to play Geelong in the first round of finals and you thought they were a side to avoid...

    i stand by the gif tho...

    Fair call, their “stars” did scare me a bit but I was secretly confident before the game due to our manic pressure of recent weeks.

    How many times did the Holy Trinity, Ablett, Duckwood, Dangerfield, plus Hawkins whinge  to the umpires wherever we did get, or they did not get a free kick?

    Clearly they play so many games at KP when where they get away with murder, and get gifted the ride, they don’t realize that there are actually rules in the game  that apply to both sides

    Oh well,

    They've got six months to process that fact now...

    Scott is the luckiest coach in history, took over a great team in 2011 that coached it's self, has been living on that for the last 7 years. Geelong  put everything into the Ablett and danger basket lost Motlop and the  compo pick they traded for Ablett. I was so happy when they wanted Gary back I predicted that would take them backwards. Motlop is a better player then Gary now, he won them their semi final  last year played a great game. The holy  Trinity might have worked 3 years ago, selwood is cooked, I bet in year to come selwood will tell everyone he played on after getting concussion in games, Scott is the type of coach who would tell his doctors to lie when it comes to his stars.

    He is right both teams missed many easy goals after qtr time, bad goal kicking is bad football, that being said we controlled the game after qtr time, that's what good teams do they get a lead and  then control the game.

    Those are good comments but honestly I’m not interested in what people from other clubs are saying about us. Seriously I just saw on Twitter Xavier Ellis saying “We all have that one annoying Melbourne friend, I couldn’t bare it if they had a tilt at the flag.” Seriously I now know why I don’t trawl through social media, because it’s garbage.

    Demons also weren't that great?

    What are they on? Otherwise, pretty classy I thought by the (few) Cats supporters I was around. Plenty saying good luck next week.

    Yeah lots leaving as the siren went were saying “enjoy” “good luck” “smash the Hawks!”

    13 wins which 8 out of 9 came from our ground.

    Perhaps I have been too generous saying cats are a very good team. Above stat reveals what a massive home advantagethey have. Its huge.

    Take it away and I now wonder how they would fare. May explain their poor finals record.

    It’s a surefire way to ruin your self esteem that’s for sure. If you’re on cloud 9 just read a few tweets and it will sort you right out.

    No more of that for me. Just DL with the occasional Insta

    This.

    Me and me mates have started calling them the Pointer Sisters. Lots of finger pointing down there. 

    They are in a world of pain IMHO . . . their list is aging, full of c-graders and virtually nothing coming through.

    It is a sign of growing maturity in our list that despite our being unable to goal, we did not give up and continued to apply incredible pressure on the opposition, then break clear.

    Only a couple of months ago we would have involuted and been run over.

    Definite progress, despite the agonising frustration of wasted opportunities.

    And it was amusing to hear the Cats' fans gloating over their two runaway wins in the final two rounds: just shows that easy games coming into the finals is in fact NOT good preparation.  

    We had two pressure games, that we won: far better preparation.

    the whateley and hudson delusion about the quality of their list going forward on sen on saturday arvo was gloriously salty

     

    Hudson has really lost it. He's an absolute pill these days. Even managed to make a little snow joke during the commentary that we heard when listening back to the game. What a smarmy little fuckstick.

    • 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.
