Baker showing enough to see that he has a future in the AFL for sure. Not overawed, just not used to the pressure and the pace.

    He looks more dangerous than he has all year though.

    Hopefully he can adapt. We really don't need another Stretch. Although Billy has been solid tonight.

    If he was playing on anyone but McGovern he'd be killing it. Bodes well for the next few weeks.

    Been a great effort to go over and lead at qtr and half time. Much more than i expected. Hopefully the third osnt the qtr we go scoreless.

    Heres hoping wc injuries play a part.

    Plus rioli playing 60% game time. Not looking like a great idea now

    This is the most exciting footy we’ve played all year

    All the Frost haters must be starting to believe they’re simply wrong. 

    Weve seen the besy and worst of Frosty. Silly (soft) free kick, wonderful chase down followes by missing a kick to a bloke 15 meters clear.

    He is having a good year, though.

    FCS Stretch has been solid for 3 or 4 weeks now.

    Thought Garlett would step up today.

    Way past it.  Making up the numbers.

    Igawn has been huge

    If we can just convert around 10374739 inside 50s into like 3 goals, that would be awesome.

    Stop Yeo, Rioli, Ryan, and Don't kick it to McGovern, and we win this. Get our season back on track Demons.

    Like most of our young players, he needs a solid 4-6 consecutive games without injury to get some form. Hore and Frost the same

    • 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.
