Did the players get their food  poisoned in Perth? 

LOL America, we just said the same thing! Perhaps some dodgy coleslaw on the Virgin flight???

 

First comment re the maggots who have not been influential but how in the world was that NOT a reverse and a report for that matter.

    Now umpiring is killing us. Great start.

    See you in 2019. 

    Umpires have had nothing to do with it Jaded. We are playing dumb football, they are playing simple direct football.

    there is no leadership out there today, Gawn has been unsighted, Smith is simply not good enough for AFL, Tyson is simply horrendous, Lewis has been pathetic, Our forward line seems non-existent, our backline is constantly under pressure and our midfield has simply not turned up.

    We are getting a brutal lesson on what it takes to get through to a GF. Cannot sit pretty with previous results.

    It was a thrilling few finals wins, but unless it’s done on the big stage, it all counts for squat. This is not a wake-up call as we have played some great finals football, but hopefully the boys recognise just how much it takes to get to the promise land.

    Hopefully it won’t be another 18 year’s until we are in another pre-lim.

    McGovern punches Viney in the throat, Nichols standing 1m away, nothing. How is this guy allowed to umpire?

    Whoever was worried that Collingwood made the Grand Final instead of Richmond please stand up!

     

     

    I was. What of it?

    Can anyone recommend a good movie to watch?


    Well ..... I refuse to torture myself watching this garbage any longer.

     
     

    GF spot all locked up, 186 could be in danger and the Eagles fans here are still unhappy.

    • 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.
