    I love these jumpers......

    Great first quarter, but boy Brayshaw couldn't have done much worse in that last 1 minute of play! Especially after kicking such a fantastic goal!

    For those of us not with a tv, is there much wind?

    No. Just very slippery.

    Isn’t that two quarters in a row we have won.  A first this year I think

    Where was this effort last week?

    Jeffy has looked lively, although I wish he'd use his chances more. Promising stuff from Weid, Baker and Hunt. Brayshaw has looked good here and there but geez he looks so horribly down on confidence, hopefully that goal helps.

    That was a pizzweak effort from o Mac then. Lucky Jenkins is an equally inept footballer

    Gus, Clarry and Trac are all on so far. Makes a big difference. 

    A couple of efforts from bailey last in the Q to make up for a poor Q

    If I had a dollar for every time I have sworn  at some of Melbourne play in the last 50 years!

    So can we safely say that there is no such thing as holding the man, around the neck or dropping the ball in the AFL? 


    Well apart from a few dumb frees that was a good quarter. Weid looks good and happy to have Hibbard back in the backline. Lets keep it going. Maxy dominating the ruck.

    Hahaha jinxed him hey...

    Makeshift backline could be our undoing here. The question is going to be if we can kick a big enough score to overcome the goals we're going to leak up the other end. Still, at least we're kicking goals and looking like a decent team. Next week with More, Salem, May and Lever in ... look out.

     

    I'm liking our forward entries. Finally, the boys are running into good spaces, we're lowering the eyes a little and not being so damn predictable. 

    I tipped us tonight. Just goes to show, if you tip us enough, sometimes you're 1/4 right!

    Depends on how much the crowd yells

    • 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.
