    Good play by Hunt to Chandler and tough mark to Anb.

    Goal. We're in front.

    Not having a full strength team will hold us in good stead going forward. In previous seasons (correct me if I'm wrong) we've fielded almost full strength sides from the get - go.

    At work and popped onto the game day thread for an update- honestly thought we must be 10 goals down.

    It’s not a Melbourne game without a Bruce goal ?

     

    We put some actual players in the center and suddenly we aren’t the worst. What a shock.

    Tbh early on we should have been. They have hit the post 4 times. We had just kicked 3 in a row.

    Geez, Hunt standing 5 metres off Bont who takes a handball and kicks into f50 for a mark and goal again.

     


    Bruce legitimately thanked the umpire after he kicked the goal.

    I cant believe that G.Lyon was invited to speak at a MFC supporters night. he is the most negative pr!!k going.

    And Rivers kick is deliberate but that [censored] against Spargo was not. Good to see the umpires still sucks.

    Thank God for Lever and May.

    With players like Jones and Tmac still around its a worry.

    Not sure what Tomlison brings and poor Jetta seems a shadow of the champion he was.

    Harmes needs to step up in the absence of others but has not been great. ANB likewise.

     

    Jetta is another. A fine servant who should have retired at the end of last Season

    they are outplaying us, dogs should be a mile in front. Good taste of footy for the kids 

     

    We are definitely playing boys against men. The Dogs are an excellent team. They are some genuine stars. Our defense has stood up well, but our midfield has struggled and the less said about our forwards the better. Fritsch and ANB the only two who should play round 1. TMac somehow has done less than usual. 

    Happy with that quarter and the effort was much better.

    For a club like ours to be quite depleted as we are, we certainly are putting I some good work.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      The Demons head to the Red Centre to face St Kilda in Alice Springs, aiming for a third straight win to keep their push for a Top 8 spot alive. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
