Great quarter Melbourne. I'm so proud right now of the effort so far

 

Poor Maysy…. 😭

No

 

That was exactly the first quarter we needed. May's injury is certainly frustrating but I'm confident that Petty can restrict Hawkins if he stays on him for the rest of the game.

Keep it up boys. Game will be over at half time if we can. 
 

Sub May out now. Not worth the risk if he can come back in 2 weeks. 


Great first qtr….  Lots of pressure and spread when we have the ball.  Looking good.

Well if you didn't hate Tom Hawkins before you certainly do now.

My take, he is either gone for more than 2, or it ain’t too bad, just needs a bit of good stretching like when I semi did mine (felt like an electric shock, but wasn’t too bad, then stretched it out and was ok).

No way if it was touch and go would we risk him further in the game. Him running is a good sign

Qtr time update from the ground:

Top of Optus Stadium lit up in blue and red, maybe because officially the home team? Whatever the reason, loving it.

Geez love the confidence.  

Hawk/Cameron could catch fire. Try him on one leg if you need to in my view. 


As long as Geelong don't kick 9 in a row we should be able to hold on from here in the worst case. This is a game winning lead at quarter time.

Would be gutted if we make the Grand Final and May can't play in it.

 

Dawn kicked a goal after the siren . . . Dawn won the coin toss.

It didn't feel like the 1st quarter of Prelim, more like the 5th quarter of Rd 23, didn't it?

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.
