50 against the umpire for standing in the protected zone

It is a disgraceful rule that is so far in the opposite direction of being in the spirit of the game.

 
 

Is Viney injured? Haven’t seen him this quarter. 

 

Great quarter!!


Frost on the path to redemption, king of the north!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE UMPIRES?! Fritsch gets front on contact, and then tripped, and it's play on! 

Someone jumps all over a dee and gets no where near the ball, and it's a mark to Heeney  

Go you good things !!!!!!!!

no jinx, layzie

Very nearly jinxed us to smitherines 

I'm going to Jinx this. But Frost has actually been alright, he's been a quicker Garland with wobbly arms on Buddy and it's kinda worked.

No such rule as the front on spoil apparently, you can just be taken out while you are facing the ball.

Yep both were ridiculous. I support paying less free kicks generally, but 'cmon gotta pay the obvious ones

Yeah that was a shocker so obvious 

Next rotation off this Qtr for Oliver,  I want the Mfc coaches to rest Oli forward......... and send TMc into the middle for a rotation. Tmc to throw some weight around... legally !!!

  • 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.
