Eagles will probably think they are a chance cause they have held us to 3 goals in 2 quarters

    It's 3/4 time and we've tripled their score.  Lot of needless angst in this thread (as usual).

    Thank you, DS aka voice of reason 


    Ryan will get off on some technicality like he did for his hit on Rowell. Certain players are protected.

    They are play pretty average football and still 45 point in front. Big last quater and no one will care.

    How was that a free to ryan?

    It wasn’t. Well not in the laws, anyway. Old school Perth umpiring today. 
    To the Eagles credit, they haven’t played anywhere near this intensity since they rolled Collingwood earlier in the season. Considering all the rank stupidity, including Ryan (who’ll get 3+ weeks), McGovern’s neck massage on Jack Viney, and the appalling latitude the umpires are giving them, we’ve weathered it well. All class, these Dees. Unflappable.

    I reckon the Eagles are playing all right. Some of you just reckon smashings are all the result of one side. The other has to roll over too, and this one hasn't.

    What time was Bowey hit by Ryan, at work and not watching live everything as it is hard to watch

    High fend off into Vineys just before too.

    He's getting angrier than usual

    Assuming it's big goals no more behinds..

    If the kicking isn't a problem it's a defeat waiting to happen when we meet a good team

    There's a lot more to learn about ourselves from this game than the Horethorn game . . . by a mile.

    This really feels like a loss. Few head wobblers running around today 

    Spot on mate, we were supposed to send a clear message today to the rest of the comp that no one is near us but instead we look poor against poop competition (WCE is really poop)


    When is the limited edition framed picture for WC's gallant performance today available in stores?

    When was the last time we played this poorly against good teams? 

     

    Spargo riddled with errors today.

    Haven't like his game one bit.

    Would be good to score 100 points for once.

    • 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.
