    North gave it their all, but we still never really looked in doubt. Take the 4 and move on to the next.

    Go Narrm!

    We scored more than 90 and conceded less than 60

    Our percentage went up. 

    We played without our best team. 

    We are a game and percentage on top. 

    We are clearly the best team in the comp for a whole game.

    Got the points took to the final quarter but a good margin in the end.

    The injuries hurt.

    Move onto Freo next week & need to play better

    We should have spanked them.

    Thats a win for North.

    inaccurate as always, we are primed for a finals upset.

    Along with the Eagles, North concede the most amount of points and inside 50s against yet we looked to be going uphill for 75% of the game

    Credit to North they made it hard for us but our greater quality told in the end

    Beast mode from Clarry. May was good and I liked Spargo’s contributions

    Big game next weekend. We’ll have to play better but we know we lift for the bigger games

    10-0 and 17 on the spin

    Go Dees

    Almost the best game of Oliver's career. He destroyed it against Adelaide in R10 2021 but we lost, so it takes a tick of the shine off, but today he was brilliant in everything he did, and also played just a fantastic team game.

    The next 5 weeks/4 games are so big.

    Reckon the Roos have shown the rest of the comp how to play us (although dirtily).
     

    Inflicting injuries is our Achilles heel, who would’ve thought 😞

    Dunstan is a terrible player and shouldn't be in the team, ever again.

    Max was being interviewed by moons & just had steam coming off him. Funny stuff.

    Would have been nice for Foxtel to show us walking off the ground.

    Did BBB get carried off?

    Fair play to North, they did all they could. Were aggressive and pressured hard. Good for us to have these tests rather than a training run

    They dragged us down to their level for the first 3 quarters, but we were magnificent in the last!  Seventeen on the trot!!

    Ugly first half but the cream rose to the top from half way through the third.

    There's a few boys not at their sparkling best and a couple of the ins although very handy & grateful for their input, are still a fair way off the level of JV & Harmesy.

    Hope Plugga's foot is ok.  Easily our best forward tonight.

    Clarry crazy good....again!

    • 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.
