    Will we be smart enough to do something about it this time?

    Anyone else watching 360? Robbo been on the cans in the green room surely? 

    The bloke is nigh on unintelligible. I always give him a couple of sentences to see if he'll somehow make sense, but find myself hitting the mute button shortly thereafter.

    Some already have by the look of it, into $2.15.

    Thanks for that, that’s a big drop so early.

    Yeah I got on under 40pts for 2.70 which is still available. I like how the media and betting companies are slow to get on the Demons. It’s been a good few weeks!

    Those commentators are morons. Hartigan gave Hawkins a clip over the head after he (Hawkins) marked the ball. Brayshaw laughed about it saying "Spud would be looking down and smiling" or words to that effect.

    That whole hitting over the head thing (or similar) led to Frawley's demise.

    Clueless. He obviously attended the Triplechins school of tact.

    Seeing the constant crosses to Kennett almost made me do a little sick in my mouth. Vile man.

    We did something about it this week.

    Our mids were trying to block de Boer at stoppages.

    Mustn't have been a hard tag on Mitchell as often he was nowhere near him...

    If they put a hard tag on Oliver it just leaves Trac & Viney free and I would back them in against the Cats mids particularly with Danger still out and an ageing Selwood.

    [censored], you would have to start scrolling the record books for the first 4-0 start in MFC history.

    I'd say somewhere in the 50's or 60's

    I know 94 we won the first 5 games of the year and lost to pies in game 6 (also the game where Jack did his back and that was it for him at the Dee's)

    I thought Geelong looked pretty ordinary. Had Hawthorn had a real constant threat up forward and a bit of forward pressure, Geelong would have lost it. 

    If we're on our game next week and Geelong play like they did today, I think we'll beat them.

    I think Mitchell only had one touch to quarter time. He had 24 overall which was -14 on his season average to date of 38.

    Yep, I think they might have relaxed the tag...he seemed to be out on his own a bit after the first Q...the only time I noticed O'Connor with him then was at the stoppages.

    Is there a bigger 'cat going round than Jordan Clark?

    • 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.
