There's the payback. But trac did need to tackle properly.

But good quarter and good to see the pies cheersquad have not much to cheer about

 

 

Regardless of whether we win or loose today if they keep up the intensity they’ve  shown so far it’s a big step forward

    Amazing what happens when a couple of your key talls finally stand up... Dogga & BBB

    Afl reserve is so yuck when we play Collingwood. Feel like I’m in a zoo.

    walk through and some stand behind the goals. I rather stand with Melbourne supporters than sit with ferals at Collingwood and Richmond games.


    Pretty good start, Oliver pretty much literally everywhere. Jackson getting back into it, great to see. A little too similar to last week with us going into the break with a lead, but oppo not capitalising. The Pies could and should have had a couple. 

    The difference will be how to come back from the break. We've absorbed a lot, so now it's time to make some hay.

    Sun is shining, it's glorious ☀️😍

    Their skills are good.
    Picking their way through our zone nicely.
    Similar to last years game.

    Can't praise Oliver enough.

    The ball to him is like a yo yo.

    Great for bbb to kick one and gets some confidence.

    Now don't drop off the intensity.


    We need to man up their spare at the back of stoppages 

    Dees warming to the task the longer the quarter went. Some good signs there. Maintain the efficiency, pressure and desire! BBB is backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! Jacko too! Turner great start.

    Certainly some heat in this. Hopefully some midfielders step up to help Oliver. 

    Our set up at contest seems to be a losing one again this week. Spilling out to pies players like it did swans last week.
    we look a bit lost ball in hand. Taking the wrong option often. Need to learn when not to roost but to weave through. Partly fitness issue

    • 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.
