Wow in what way ?

Just surprised. Could be the last final of his career. I’ve been there for my kids births and I didn’t do much. I’d hope my wife would understand and be ok for me to play

    There is no way I’d have missed the birth of either of my children. 
     

    it’s just football.

    You weren’t there to do anything other than to ‘be’ there (not just for the child).

    He slung him from around the neck...that's where the damage was done.

    He also landed awkwardly because of the slinging motion of the tackle...

    I hear ya, it was a bad tackle. But by the rules the mro uses, there is zero chance of a suspension

    Could not believe the pro St Kilda dribble rushing out of McAvaneys mouth tonight. Honestly, they were close to rubbish tonight. They have a lot of of very ordinary footballers. Max King.....couldn’t kick a goal if his life depended on it. Hannebery, too old and slow. Howard, there is a reason Port let him walk. Hill, rabbit in the headlights. Jones, may have a little bit more pace than his big brother but nowhere near the ability. Kent, well do I even need to say anything? Lonie, did he even touch the footy? This team fell into the finals because they belted up a few easy victims early in the year, then got the Dogs who were abysmal last week. If we don’t go past them next year I will be mightily [censored].

    Bruce was horrendous, as is the norm these days. How was the passage where Max King got the ball in the last quarter, ran straight into the tackle and Bruce shot his load because he liked what he saw. The guy was pinged for holding the ball. It was rubbish. I remember him doing the same for a young Hawthorn player that took on a Melbourne player in the 2018 final and got caught holding the ball, but his focus was on how good the hawks kid was for trying to take on the tackle. He has lost the plot.

    Yes. Conor Nash I believe it was. Played 2 games this year. A very dangerous game predicting that a team will continue their success the next year. Look at us 2019. People say the Saints recruited well this year. Well, how did that pan out tonight.

    Cotchin tackle... would be 2 weeks for ANB

    Yes, but his wife is big on instagram. If anything, should have been reversed.

    What has happened to Billings? So much talent. Thought he broke out a couple of years back. Poor tonight and an average season

    looks extremely soft and seems injury riddled. He looked pretty pacey as a draftee but looked very slow tonight. Not quite sure what exactly has happened but looks quite sad to see

    See Tom Lynch just did his subtle dig the knee into the neck there. 

    The bloke is a gutless bustard. I hope Mitch Robinson gets to nail him as he promised.

    Its just as much about supporting a partner through a major medical operation that carries with it very real risks of complication, as it is about simply meeting your 3rd kid.

    Port are snarky. Hopefully they'll give those snipers Cotchin-Lynch some of their own with interest.

    Yeah I know it’s about support, I’m not a complete A hole :-). But if her mum for example could be there, then is it still worth missing potentially the highlight of your career? Speaking hypothetically now. 

    what if it was a grand final?

    I am still hoping for a Power v Lions GF. Could relax and watch the game without giving a damn.

    The original idea of the video review was for obvious/clear mistakes. Umpires call was the correct call by ARC

    Looked quite clear to me and the commentators.

    How long will Cotchin not get? 
     

     

    Bad tackle, should have been a 50 but I don’t see any justification for getting a week. He had his neck but let go so didn’t sling him all the way to the ground.

    • 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.
