    I know people want Carlton to lose but I want them to win not only for Docherty but just to shut Hardwick up & keep that smug look off his face

    Also can I just say Nathan Jones doing special comments on 7 has been great

    I want them both to lose.

    That was after the game. I meant he wasn’t a complete sook like Jack. He was as tough and courageous as they come. 

    Lol “head like a dropped pie” and “tough and courageous”… not quite the same thing Jaded. I would never question his courage at all.

    Carlton look like the real deal. If they don't win 8 games this year I'll eat my hat.

    The up and comers vs the old stager just hanging on and I hope they both lose. 

    Carlton fans lining up to get “we won round 1” tattoos as we speak.

    50 metre penalties are ruining the game

    Any chance we get a Dimma dummy spit in the presser later?

    Those 50ms are soft as butter

    But Carlton look great on bursting out of stoppages, Richmond have collapsed under the pressure

    Great to see a closer game, crowd involved, umpiring actually improving.

    Carlton are playing much differently under Voss. 

    Please don't celebrate yet, Carlton, play the game out.

    Like Neitz, Jones' voice always sounded a bit thin, unsuited for commentary. But he has been really good tonight. 


    Ha the look on the Richmond's cheersquad face is hilarious. Carlton have just gone nuts.

    But happy for voss.  always like him as a footballer

    Also happy for Oscar to get a win

    Carltank being gifted dubious frees and rubbish fifties. Having said that Richtank look old , slow and indecisive. Dynasty all over!!

    At least our "record" conceding 8 50s has been surpassed, and in a real match.

    A little bit more on the tactical side of the game and he’s golden. Give us a recent ex players understanding of the game.

    • 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.
