[censored] I wish the Weed was as good as Curnow…

Could’ve grabbed McKay too (one of the few mistakes JT has made).

    Then we wouldn't have had the glory of Tom McDonalds after the siren goal in the Grand Final.

    (surely a trivia question this year at your local pub trivia...)

    Can see why we got rid of Hannan.

    He isn’t surrounded by much. Naughton aside their forwardline is full of plodders. 
    Instead of constantly stocking up their midfield they should have gone and found some defenders and forwards.

    Essendon on the bottom 🤣 Hope the lions do a number on them. There leading goal kicker is out for covid reasons. By the way how came they don't have to travel until round 9, yet we as reigning premiers we have to travel r2.

    There's one for your frees not paid tally Demonland - how that wasn't a chop of the arms against Cripps in the English marking contest I'll never know.

    Love Essendon on the bottom, but the travel thing, I don't care that we travel (I used to hate it), but now we are just as scary on the road as we are at home. Every team fears/respects us anywhere, I think it is amazing that we are now easily the best travelling side. Anywhere anytime as Max says. Kudos again to the coaching team for making this a strength.

    Goal of the year from Hannan. Give me that marvel over any dumb dribbler from the boundary.

    Big difference between Carlton this year and Melbourne last year.  Carlton cannot play much better then they are at the moment, Melbourne last year had heaps of upside to come.

    This is the problem with playing hectic footy. It’s unsustainable for four quarters. Carlton look so tired and are incredibly lucky Dogs can’t kick a goal.

    • 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.
