How was that a free to WCE right on the siren? Luckily one of the brain dead umpires stopped it.

    Jackson, Gawn, Brown, Lever, May, Petty, all been very good.

    Talls standing up in the wet is very good to see.

    Kelly is a bit too dangerous for my liking - I'd want to see Harmes go to him.

    Bowey still as clean as you'd hope to see from a 1st year player.

    2 goals outside 50 what can you do.

    Kennedy's kick for goal though, complete miss kick.

    Not pretty but I’ll take a 14pt lead in Perth a quarter time any day. A bit more clinical finishing and we could be further in front. 


    Interesting quarter.  We looked good to start but then the umpires started to exert a bit more control on the game and swung it the home team's way. 

    Bowey has been excellent. Playing in that cesspool listening to the Booers in the wet, and he’s looked very clean

    Yeo and Kelly got off the leash that last 5 minutes. Some lazy efforts by Petracca in not standing next to Yeo at the stoppage.


    Thought West Coast did well to stay in touch with their 2 good goals 

    They are at it again.Time differential to kick from stoppage.Blocking off the ball.

    Some one tell the umpires it’s wet weather footy. An arm in the wrong place that does not impede a WC player should not be a free.

    Good stuff so far. They started to get the initiative back late, but what I’ve liked is our forward fifty use. Eyes down and in quickly. If no mark is taken, then we are keeping our heads when the ball hits the deck.

    Their goals also have been earned. No softies.

    Let’s get this done!


    Deadset has there ever been a worse sports commentator than BT?

    Has a CLOSE UP of Hunt getting treated on the sideline. Zoomed in on his face: “Langdon getting treated here”.

    Petty just about has his jumper ripped off him: “Call against Petty here I reckon. Oh it’s going the other way!”

    Just quit you oaf. Quit today and never return.

    I've seen too many games where he's made us pay. Really enjoying this so far

    • 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.
