Probably ribs after that spear tackle.

If that bloke doesn’t get weeks for that then the AFL has learnt nothing. Those are the kind of things parents see and think ‘I don’t want my kids playing that sport’.

    not winning as well as some teams against the bottom teams, we seem to be kicking a lot more points. is it that our players now think they have a bang at goal from anywhere, compared to the more team oriented style we have against top teams?

    Just a side comment. Just on half time Cam Moooney implied that (Zurhaar)? Got pushed into the fence intentionally. He clearly tripped and/or lost his balance and fell into it. Why say stuff like that? [censored].

    Lots of fumbling, handling errors and dropped marks. Frustrating. TMac, Kozzie and Fritsch looking good.

    Some unfortunate casual, carefree stuff from Petracca. Oliver is a star.

    We have also got some terrible free kicks given to to us - that 50m is a disgrace to our game. 

    Please, please, please do NOT play Dunstan again. I would rather see a young kid have a crack and make mistakes than a mature player show us what poor VFL football looks like.

    Goldy and Xerri doing a really good job nullifying Max. 

    North having a red hot go and finally showing what system they are trying to play. 

    I much prefer Doggas work at the ruck today. He can't be matched once the ball hits the deck.

    For me it's not that. We look like we're in minus 1st gear while North are having a real crack. The first goal we got where we actually had some nice team play was Kozzie's. We're junkyarding around, we need to raise our game 

    North is throwing everything they can at us. Good teams don't play to the opposition's tempo and style. We do what we do. North has more energy this week than any other game this year. I wonder why? 20 points flatters them. Even with their effort. We're currently 4-5 goals better despite seeming like they're "beating" us.

    You guys want to win 32 on the trot and have a perfect year? Smashing North is small beans compared to that so let's keep an eye on the big picture hey?

    He's a former cat isn't he? Not surprised he makes such dishonest comments

    Crude and Neanderthal x2

    North are trying to intimidate us physically. If Jack was in the side, he would not tolerate it, so who will step up and make a stand?

    I could be at the wrong game. I'm watching some team called 'Narrm' play.

    Correct. 
    I am just spewing that we will come out of this game with some significant injuries because Norf have nothing to lose and if May does what he wants to and breaks some skulls we will be down an AA full back for 2 months.

    People forget that this isn't the Murray league where spankings are common.  Winning at this level is never easy.  No matter what the ladder position

    True but Brisbane managed to do it a few weeks ago against nth

    North trying out the west coast game plan. Congest areas and try to hurt us. Then get the ball and all out attack no matter what. Makes for hard to watch football. We’re always going to get more frees when teams play this way against us.

    1. We miss Viney for his mental toughness and driving standards

    2. Dunstan has always been a poor kick, why are people surprised?

    Its his decision making and handballs so far ...gets to where the ball is and gathers but i reckon he's missed about 70% of all handballs so far.  And he's had a few.  Decision making a bit slow for this level as well....drawing pressure on everyone including himself.

    Improved a tad towards the end of the second quarter.

    Some player's conversion rates leave alot to be desired.  About half of them were relatively easy and should've gone through

    Exactly, we're allowed to be slightly aggrieved at things like this without being branded pessimistic jerks.

    • 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.
