One more quarter to go, season on the line. The next 20 minutes will tell us how much this club wants to play finals. 

 

This.

This is the real test of where we are at as a club. Forget the draw, the hub  the travel. Forget everything. 

How much do we want it.

GWS can lose and make finals still.

This is an elimination final for us. 

It is members thank you round. Dess fans have tipped in money for that jumper.

Time to stand up dees.

Go redlegs 

 

 


...Greene looked high.

Is it a fair criticism to say that Viney cannot read the play ahead. He sees the ball and gets it or attempts to every time. Sometimes you need to make a judgement on what is likely to happen...not always go in head first.

Maybe not the right thread for it...apologies if so

Not the sharpest tool in the shed but one cannot fault his endeavor and commitment

I agree. I don't think we can carry Fritsch even when he's kicking goals. His non defensive efforts kill us.

At about round 8 I would say we couldn't afford to drop him. Every time I see him recently I feel like throwing something at the tv. Can't believe how much I was looking forward to watching how his season was going to play out.

 

Even the taters are asking what we need to do to get Weid into the match.  He's having one of his many too many mares

Lever's inboard turnover goal turned the game when we were 3 goals up

 

Overpaid...


Viney can [censored] right off 

 

What in the actual [censored] is this umpiring?


Its hard to win with umps like this.

Hopper actually went under Oliver’s legs but I guess we never get those ... twice tonight. 

How the hell is that a free against Oliver?  Terrible decision.

Viney with his third holding the ball for the night.  

Why are we getting our legs taken time and time again? Have they forgotten this rule???


Can Fritsch actually hold a mark. PLEASE.

Weideman is killing us.

 

Richo reckons it wasn't deliberate? I'm really really struggling to see the issue, he directly handballed in our of bounds, ON THE FULL

  • 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.
