Looks like they have work experience kids directing tonight, if only they would let them do the commentary.

    Surely with JVRs competitiveness both in the air and on the deck he is a logical replacement for Weid next week.

    I think you may well be  right, but whatever, Sam is in OUR team tonight and bagging him here really achieves nothing.  C'mon Sam, kick a bag in the second half.

    It all comes down to 'the want' and imposing yourself into a game regardless of conditions LN.

    Hopefully he can turn it around in the second half and contribute.

    Weirdly, reckon his game is opposite to  last week... Go lots of reward for less effort last week, this week he's having a crack, going hard in packs, laying tackles, but not getting near the pill.

    Camera work is as bad as the playing surface and the umpiring .... can we please see a bit of perspective and show is where the ball is headed.

    THIS ⬆️ !!!!

    Really looking forward to our opportunity to make sure we don't replicate our earlier meeting this year. The Dockers will take hope from that. Scores were very similar.

    I want us to crush that hope.

    Very quickly.

    Very good quarter and half but gee that last Walters goal was absolute p*** and I'm not happy with it. Goals are at a premium in this game and you can see this because even though we are pressuring like crazy up forward the looks at goal aren't easy to get. 1 entry for the Dockers and they kick a goal. It will give them something as they go in for half time.

    This is the test now, as far as I'm concerned the game starts again 0-0. We've blown these leads too many times this year and loading or not we need to take this one as a psychological boost.

    Our small forwards are working tirelessly. Oliver is being sat on by Aish, but he does tend to have great second halves so expecting something similar. Aish will have his work cut out. Trac hasn't been bad but just want to see a little more polish from him. One of his trademark big time goals would be handy. Viney killing it, just loves this kind of weather.

    Must come out firing in this second half.

    Poor one on one work from Lever when the dump kick came in.  Doing ok but still out of sorts.

    Good first half. We controlled the game and probably should’ve got a few more goals tbh. The real test is not fading away in the second half as we’ve been doing this year. Time to run our four quarters and kick off the run for another premiership.

    Yep I miss being with the Demon Army tonight. One kinda gets used to being surrounded by REAL fans. 
    I’d plumb forgotten how mean-spirited DL can be during a match. Shameful. 

    Enjoy, WCW, another comprehensive victory coming up.  


    Their pace and space killed us last time - that Colyer is crazy quick. We seem better organised tonight. Good opportunity for a few players to play 4 quarters (Fritter 👀)

    Fingers crossed that Weideman stands up in the second half and clunks a couple of goals

    Lever must have titanium screws in his ankles like moi.

     


    Great mark Jake

    Just had a look at the radar and looks like a shower coming through which can’t hurt.

    • 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.
