If Oliver, Viney and Brayshaw get on top and the umpires shed their bias, we are seriously in this.

Yep, it's what has me quietly confident for the second half.  They lifted in that last ten minutes, so hopefully that has given them confidence.

I agree with others that we have been well beaten in some areas tonight, but the fact we are still in it is a real positive.  Our forward line has looked much more open which has allowed us to kick more goals and have those opportunities.  If the three you mentioned above continue to lift then we can get more of those chances in the second half.

If Jones is to play it must be up forward - useless elsewhere.

Hibberd is gone. Hore showing something.

Wagners will never be any good.

OMac just horrible.

Your last two statements i agree with. I haven't given up on Hibb's yet though.

Had a bit of a shocker.

I've felt Frosty hasn't been too bad so far tonight, apart from one kicking blunder.  He has generally done some good things down back.

U pairing is [censored]. Boundaries can’t throw the ball in. Field umpires always looking for a soft over the shoulder to the Swans and if we get a free they bring it back everytime allowing the Swans to manup. Front on contact to our forwards doesn’t exist. Anyway we are still in it. Petracca stand up mate!

Sure, but the forward line isn't really the problem, it's up the other end of the ground where we've been leaking goals all season. Even against Essendon we managed 18 goals - which, incidentally was the 3rd highest score in the whole round.

Long bombs i50 not hurting us as much. A few are thankfully looking shorter

 

My God were in front!!!

That ump will be sacked


Front contact now but not in 1st quarter? Umpires are straight out idiots


We simply can’t let the ball into our defensive 50 because it’s a certain goal. 

 

Let’s put Spargo on the mark again.

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.
