    Good result tonight.

    If we go 4-2 for the rest of the year, we sow up a top 3 spot and avoid a week 1 interstate trip.

    The destiny is well and truly in our own hands and we only have ourselves to blame if we drop games to one or more of Hawthorn, GC , West coast or Adelaide.

    Yes he is - and he has lots of company.

    Tonight James Brayshaw described the way in which Harris Andrews knocked the ball over the boundary line as being "laconic".

    BT, in his infinite wisdom, agreed. "Yes that was laconic". 

    Brayshaw is a serial offender - could someone please direct him to dictionary.com. He may well stop embarrassing himself should he learn the meaning of the word.

    Guy hasn't won the hardball when a match was on the line in his career. At least 2/3 of his career goals must have been in junk-time.

    I take from your comments you don't like him, and he isn't my favourite by a long stretch, but I think this is way off the mark.

    Richmond did us a favour this week and thankyou. However they will come a cropper against geelong and no longer be relevant for the year. If we finish 3rd does not matter as it will be against bulldogs or that rubbish from geelong. Don't want to play the bears or Port at their home grounds.

    Yeah, that’s right… he only kicked those six goals and played a brilliant 300th game, because he wanted all of the attention ??. 

    What a ridiculous comment! The guy is an absolute star!

    You don’t watch a lot of games other than Dees games, do you.

    Look sure, it was a dumb comment. He's a great player, but I'm still entitled to dislike the guy. Joel Selwood's a gun too, but I can't stand him either!

    His off-field persona just puts me off. I still remember his comments last year decrying how outrageous it was that players were asked to take a modest paycut to keep the AFL afloat, while coaches and support staff were losing their jobs entirely (not to mention how tone-deaf it was at a time when so many ordinary people were losing jobs and businesses were going broke). Really sullied my opinion of the guy, that's all.

    riewoldt has been, and remains, one of the best key forwards in the competition for a long, long time

    we picked frawley the pick before he was selected, i seem to recall?

    Yes, and for a while we thought we were the winners in that one. 

    Maybe the compo pick from Frawley helps balance it a bit.

    Yep that's fair enough

    I'll be happy if Brisbane finish third or fourth. They lack leadership, pace and midfield depth. We have them easily covered.

    As an aside I'd love McCluggage to announce he wants to return to Victoria and nominate the Dees. Great player.

    A lot of results have gone our way over the last couple of rounds. We have a real opportunity to lock in a top two or top four spot.

    He took a couple big marks early in the 1st Grand Final win.
    Missed the shots but he was huge getting them going.
    Earned abit of my respect that game.

    Fair enough; I didn’t have any issue with your opinion of him as an individual, but thought your targeting of his abilities as a player were way off the mark.

    Right result for us last night. Reckon us Cats and Doggies will finish top 3 now and avoid the inter-state qualifying final (although who knows where and even when we'll be playing finals).

    Riewoldt has had a stellar career. 300 games and 700+ goals speaks for itself. He deserved to play and celebrate his great achievement at the G last night

    He's also a sook and a crybaby and has played in one of the most dislikeable teams ever to grace the game (and as for his advice to Kozzie earlier in the season - he can stick it)

    What we have to worry about is reduced seating capacity due to Covid may see a final played in Geelong , so we definitely don’t want them finishing above us.

    Great day of footy coming up. We've an interest in all the games.

    saints are playing well so hopefully can get up against port.

    Suns are in great touch and are a chance to spring a surprise against the doggies. If they can get the job done i might even change my mind about disbanding them

    A crunching collision with Mitch Robinson. Totally accidental. Kidney injuries can be very serious. Could be missing a long time.

    • 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.
