There is something unsettling about two grown men calling each other ‘Richo’…

    Nah he's done pretty good to get Brisbane up and about. They were a rabble when he arrived. But should have moved on two years ago.

    He is good, good doesn’t cut it. He’s a great assistant.

    And before anyone has a crack at Spargo for not having a million possessions ask yourself how much influence Daniel Rich had on the game. That answer would be 2/5ths of [censored] all.

    All the talk about the Lions home record. 

    Geelong are in for the same shock when they rock up to the G for finals after beating up on poor teams at taxpayer stadium

    The Storm put 60 points past the Broncos tonight so they would have beaten the Lions also.

    Just needs a better defensive coach to help him. sacking the coach is likely to stuff it all. remember we shuffled some coaches and came back and kept Goodwin.

     

    Best thing they can do is assist the staff and upgrade the helpers. give confidence to the boys.

    Geelong's last month: Dogs (GMHBA), St Kilda (GMHBA), Gold Coast, West Coast (GMHBA).

    If Carlton wins on Sunday, that'll be 0 finalists and not a single game where a final will be played.

    Our last month: Fremantle (Optus), Collingwood, Carlton, Brisbane (Gabba).

    If Carlton wins, that'll be 4 finalists on finals grounds (albeit we won't be playing a final at the Gabba).

    Does anyone know what happened to Nibbler in the second? Was on the ground spewing his guts up, and channel 7 didn't even bother to replay what happened before it

    I did some sums.  Hard to predict scores BUT

     

    Sydney win 95-65, their % is 128.2

    Sydney win 100-60, their % is 129.7

    Sydney win 110-60, their % is 130.3

     

    Dees are 130.5

     

    But we can win anywhere :)

    I was worried all the tough games we've had would impact our fitness and energy levels. But we were full of run tonight and with a 2 week break will be cherry ripe for finals. Battle hardened as well from those tough games

    Geelong on the other hand. Playing practice games. No preparation for finals at all

    We'll beat the cats if we play them in a final

    I just watched Goody in his presser. I really love the bloke. Not sure he gets the love he deserves to be honest. Premiership coach and is just all team…could go on to be one of the absolute greats in my opinion.

    We need to celebrate Goody more!!!!

    I was at the game, he was down for quite some time but missed the incident 

    Someone mentioned Zorko earlier in the thread.

    I was in the Brisbane members area. The booing was quite pathetic by the crowd but it went strangely quiet by half time and there was so much room to sit!

    I loved watching Kozzy smash players and then Trott off and turn around and give the a gob full.

    We totally broke them tonight.

    So much fun to be there.

    Wow wee, found Goodwins post game interview pretty rousing.
    Doesn't matter who or where we play.
    Got the quiet confidence of a man who knows he's got the reigning premiers coming in hot.

    • 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.
