This commentary stinks. Too much talking about Lever getting hit in the moosh and not enough calling the crucial contest in the back 50.

Weideman and Kosi inexcusable goal kicking. 

Kozzie needs to fix his run up.

Weid inexcusable, he's lost me.


Outdid their great first half with a great quarter. We've got the hunger, as long as we take our chances I'll back us in here.

Huge quarter. Major lift in the middle and as a result we had far more forward half ball. Brings our forward into play and nullifies them. 

But those three bad misses (TMac, Weid and Pickett) could come back to bite us. 

At least now we know we can match them. Game on. 

Great response we have all the momentum. Lions look flat. Out of legs? 
 

Need to come out firing in the 4th with immense pressure in the contest and stoppages. 
 

How does Kozzy miss that set shot. His routine looks out of whack.

They are shocking. Every bloody week. 

Lyons tried to beat 3 players and dropped it cold 

umps are farrrrkn crap 

Great quarter but in all past years the Lions would lift and run over us here by 4 goals 

let’s see if we’re different 


Great quarter Dees.

Now, does our fitness let us run away Q4?

Weid playing for his spot in the last. Need 2-3 goals

4 to 10 (Brisbane’s way) centre clearances and 14 to 22 (Brisbane’s way) clearances.

That’s the issue right there.

We evened up clearances a fair bit that quarter, no surprise we played so well.

I reckon we are fitter


May on Daniher and Harmes of Neale much better match ups.

They've only lost 4 last quarters all year.

Brisbane are going to give their all in the last, they have a never say die attitude. Hopefully we are bringing in our "learnings" from the Adelaide game. 

Set shots inside 40m please. Should be 90% efficiency, not 50%. We should be 2 goals up on that quarters hard work. And suspect we will need a lead as their big forwards will come back into play towards the end.

For a key fwd that hardly gets near the ball you’d like to think he’d be crisp around goal.

Kozzie just needs not to lean back on the kick, push body weight forward, simples.

  • 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.
