Today’s crowd number  will be the perfect example of why we play games in Darwin 

Or why we will end up playing at Marvel.

Or why we should not play in Darwin, recruit better, coach our talent better and win games on our home dung hill. That’s how you build a winning organisation. Not by flogging off parcels of your land.

Your plan is admirable but has failed for fifty years. I doubt I will hang my hat on it. Whereas Darwin works.

Fighting 6 goal loss kicking 7 goals 20 points... Hogan to collect 25 and kick 4... 

Probably a more likely result tbh.

I would agree Bbo. However this year is not new to us. Most seasons are over by the end of May.

I’m tossing up whether I should watch it on the tele or head to Bunnings, buy a snag and wander around their store aimlessly for the 3 hours.

Never been less excited about a game, but a big win would be welcomed of course.

Interested to see how our forward line goes with Jade back at the helm.  Actually , the entire team and style should be a lot different with the coaching reshuffle during the week.

Ahh [censored] it,   Melbourne by 37.

Im only here because my wife took her mother out to collect bamboo to make table runners/placemats with, and i pretended i have a hangover. Footy on the radio and all that :)

 


Very hard to believe we are favourites!

Still going to front up and shout for the Dees!!

En route to the G now via tram. Had to go to Jeff's shed this morning.

Nothing left to say really.

Respect to anyone who is going today. [censored] that

I'll be there. Top of the ponsford. With the same feeling I have had for 90% of the time i have supported the dees. Wanting to watch us win a game of footy. A game that stands by itself, disconnected from concepts such as ladder position and finals.

I want to see us win. 

God i hope we win today ,tired of not having a hangover on sunday morning

I’m fully expecting a great game from No 11.........and I’m sure Max will also play a blinder....

I'm backing Brayshaw to play a blinder . . . hope Angus gets a few touches as well.

 

Im afraid it would take 3 or 4 wins in a row for me to get interested again , been let down far too many times.

Im going to the game of course, but not feeling exited. 

Really looking forward to a hot pie.

  • 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.
