Importantly, Weid and Jackson 2 each also...

And Lever 5

Lever doing what he was bought for. Great stuff.

Im blown away by Trac.

 

Still half a game left we should be aiming to win this by 8 goals plus 

 

Interesting how much confidence affects the ability to hit targets

 

Players are running fwd off the ball making targets. Tackling ferociously. Pressure is immense. 

Completely shut the hawks game down. 

Something has clicked. When we play like this you question where it has been for 18mnths

 

Let's finish this off dees

DOn't want to win by anything less than we're ahead by now. Keep the foot down

Can always rely on you for a negative comment even when we are playing so well

Not me noting the mistakes and posting them, I liked what I saw in 2nd quarter, hope for more off the same in 3rd, if we make a mistake, we are scrambling to fix it

The joys of kayo. Watching the second quarter again.

How was that kick by tracc to weed? Bullet!

 

I’m just worried we will stop in the second half. Five goals is not a big enough margin and with a percentage as low as ours we need to keep going.

Continuity in the 22 on the field

Knew he was there, had the confidence to just roll around and pull the trigger!

Luv it! ?

Five goals is a margin we love to concede but I just can’t see Hawthorn getting near us.

 

Our poise has been better but alot to improve on, better kicking inside 50 would have resulted in another 3-4 goals. 

Overall we just look so much more balanced with Omac and a Second tall Forward in the side, releases Lever to intercept to his hearts delight.

Gawn and Petracca on another Lever right now.

Good times Demonland.

Agreed, but smarter ball movement and better forward structure also important.

Yes and I had a sneaky few on Dees to win by 40+ !!

And the courage to get it over frawley

Anyone else noticed Nev playing a completely different role

Yes. Best he's played in a long time. Lockhart is doing the lockdown role while Nev has been left off the leash

42 points to get 3-3 and 100%

 

Can't remember the last time we took 10 contested marks in a match let alone in a half. Amazing

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.
