Harmes on Libba?  And running him ragged the other way.  Noice so far.  But still early days fellow minions.  Heads down!

    Our pressure is causing their defence huge headaches

    Ok I’m sure this has been asked before but why aren’t we wearing our indigenous jumpers?

    Harmes, Trac and Oliver...27 touches.

    Four goals up but dogs have six frees to three. Mmmm. Here we go again.

    Can we put Tom up ffwd and Sam at chf. ?

    Outstanding quarter and I wish I was there. Also if I was there I'd be giving it to that umpire about that TMac block call, just held his ground and Crozier jumped into him, we were off.

    That and gawns 50 metre kick from the ruck clearance that bounced left instead of right/straight

    And here come the umps with three softies in a row.

    Yes! 1:45 left on the clock at the centre bounce. 1 free at the bounce, then a block. Lever took a mark not paid and then holding the ball against Jordan when he didn't have it.
    Completely outrages. If you get the chance, watch that last 2 mins and tell me they weren't trying to give the Dogs a goal to try and make a contest. 

    Hope we hit the Sullivan line next quarter. Go Dees!

    Well that was unexpected, dogs not switched on at all first quarter. Expect them to come up firing in the second after that though. 

    Our pressure game is completely opposite to last week, incredibly we should be further in front. Spargo usually doesn’t waste it but he’s probably going at 50% on chances had creating goals. 

    Keep going Dees, long way to go!

     

    That was fun.
    Lets do it again this qr..

    Dogs kicking across the ground must give our backs time to set up.

    Any chance Weid can get his hands near the the ball

    Great start Dees. I’d expect the Dogs to respond but we have to equal it and I reckon we burry the game in the next quarter if we do.

    Dogs look like us laat week. Flat and unorganised silly unforced errors.

    Looking good.

    Remember they had a 100 point winning training run last week against the Saints so it’s taken them 20 minutes to realise we aren’t witches hats.

    I really hope the Weid can take a grab and kick a goal. His confidence looks shot to me.

    Looks like he's trying too hard - needs to relax a bit

    AFL deemed it a clash. 

    It’s a [censored] disgrace. Carlton is allowed to play Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond in its regular jumper but we can’t wear red against their blue.

    Statement quarter - BOOM

    The pressure. Intensity. Tackling. 

    Fritter's intercept and goal a joy.

    Long way to go, but we are ON 

    Let's go! Do what the dogs have been doing to lesser opposition this year.

    He gets his hands on everything.
    Needs to hold a couple for a confidence boost.

    Oliver is in Brownlow form. Forget Patracca  and Bont - Cayton is the ONE.

    • 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.
