Good quarter Dees!

 

Great quarter Melbourne. Owned it. Can they play this way for the next 2 quarters? Time will tell 

 

Tigers have certainly got the rub of the green with the umpires, but we got away with 2 frees there ?


Great quarter. Silenced the annoying Richmond supporters around me.

Hibbard doing awesome on dusty. Keep it going boys

Tommy  nice mark

Wet weather expert.

 

Hit more targets when under no pressure, and hold a few more chest marks, we win by 6 goals. 

Salem. Wow.

Hibbo. Wow.

We MUST keep Dusty out of the game - he can change it off his own foot in a 5 min burst.

Great 2nd quarter


Survived the early ambush. 2 forward half pressing teams. They got the jump early and we've got the ascendancy at the moment. Centre clearances so important

Luke Jackson has been great.. the pressure he and Gawn are bringing is unbelievable for two giants.

Hes holding his marks and is reading the play so well.

This guy will be a star.

If Tracc can get going who knows. Oliver good that quarter. Viney lifting. 

So Dusty can be tagged after all. Brilliant work Hibbo.


It's been said before and I'll say it again.
The umpiring is a disgrace.

Other than that I'm forkin' feeling it boys.
 

Now is the time, the players must believe. 
they weathered a huge storm in the first Quarter, we were shell shocked, and then were able to get momentum back and kick away. 
this is the moment MFC Keep the foot down

Giving them no space whatsoever and getting on top of much of the stoppage play and one on ones.

Gawn, LJ, Gus, Salem, Tmac and Hibb were immense that quarter.  We are also beating them on the outside game.  They arent precise anywhere on the ground other than looking dangerous coming inside 50 which is to be expected given the quality talls.

How good are we at responding to pressure these days.

We just soak it up and then spit it back in spades.

Yep, Hibbo has been really good. Dusty will still have an impact, it is just about mitigating it and Pig is doing that very well...super physical.

I am so impressed again with us giving up an early lead and the.lm managing to re-group. This team has not been capable of that until this season.

foot on the throat time now...go Dees!

  • 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.
