We really need to win some ball out of the middle. We are not playing that part of the game smart right now and Swans are getting the clearance. Grit it out and take the simple option stop playing cute.

He’s been far from our worst - 15 possessions, 10 contested.

Not saying that he was bad. Thought he came out harder after the head hit.

Like what Williams does to get them up.

God l wish Fritsch got suspended, he has been absolutely pathetic

I’m so annoyed about Fritsch kicking into the man on the mark.

I’m furious.

It should NEVER happen.

Lazy and not focussed.


I’m concerned with the movement through the middle of the ground by the Swans. 
That non decision where Spargo got Rampe was a shocker.
Heads down, bums up fellas. This will go to the wire.

Apart from TMacc, May, Langdon and Lever everyone else is struggling. Oliver and Tracc getting possessions but their delivery is all over the place, getting caught, coughing it up. Need a big last quarter!

    Keep the ball away from Lloyd and mills and we’ll win

    We can run over the top of them

    Hes a kicked a goal but why is there just so much love for melksham?

    9 possies.

    Hes a passenger.

    Just once has he starred in a game thats all and got some votes?

    Be honest folks.

    He'll have to turn it on in this last quarter for mine.  Viney for Melk when fit and ready is the obvious in/out at this stage.

    Wishing we had a fit Marty Hore for Petty also.

    Tracc needs to learn that ballistic is good at the start...but not necessarily at the end of a possession.  Find some more finesse and tale it to the next level son.  Especially coming inside 50

    I would have rather Fritta cop his 1 week suspension if we knew he was going to dish up this [censored]. At least a Sparrow or Chandler would have actually chased or tackled.

    Soft as [censored].

    16:38min 3rd Quarter - May and Buddy wrestle, end with Franklin on the ground, (with a small assist from Lever) love it.

    I am deeply in love with Langdon, Tmac needs another contract, Trac working his way into the game.

    • 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.
