A few times i felt he has been nudged under it a touch perhaps?

No he cannot and never has been able to read the ball in flight nor hold his position

he is no full forward

and nothing changes what is owe conversion from inside 50s ? I bet it is worse than our average

Get the hell out of here Stigga, no need for that kind of optimism around these parts.

Well it's the best we've played all year. GC aren't bad.

Kozzy applies good pressure - he'll come on soon 

He's fine. Seems a little timid or undecided what to do when he has it.  Team rules and such. Compare it with the arrogance and cheek from Rankine at the other end.  Have to back yourself and your talents in the AFL. If you have space use your speed. 

 

That last GC goal was pure revolting umpiring.

I'm happy with the defensive pressure .

I'm pleased with the endeavour.

The delivery is still fairly average and the mistakes and fumbles are still too numerous but the defensive running is there.

We are fairly hopeless at marking and our attacking run is fairly lacklustre.

We need to run and spread in attack far better.


Has big moments Hannan

Another Melk turnover.  Nice run down and goal Hannan.  Been good today.  Why is Melk even on the ground?????????.?...???.?.?????...?.?..?????????????


Trust Hannan to do SFA all night, then bob up and nail one. The type that pisses of oppositions supporters

  • 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.
