I would really like it to NOT be close. A win with minimal effort would be much better. 

Agreed, it was 13 goals to 2 at half time 3 weeks ago, a similar score is desirable.

    Daniher out means they will play fast corridor football instead of their slow high marking game.

    What game style do we fail against most often?

    They have to win the ball first and they’re not as skilled as other sides that have beaten us that way.

    That's right! Or at least half of that will be acceptable!

    If we are too tall back maybe an opportunity, to shift Petty forward to help out BB?

    I'm surprised and shocked on two counts.

    1. Someone found Daniher attractive enough to do the deed

    2. Daniher was accurate enough to "kick a goal."

    Never a problem for AFL players no matter their looks. 
    But yeah, can’t dispute your 2nd point 😂

    Hearing that we also might have a late out for Smith or Bedford either of which will play or supersub

    Might want to send this through to the coaches at MFC, doubt they will catch on

    Sounds a bit Spargo-ish.

    Last week i was anxious as all heck, today i am very much "what will be will be". Would be a waste of a season to go out in straight sets, particularly starting 10-0.

    It's all up to the boys now. I'll be there cheering them on tonight, and hopefully get to next week as well. 🤞

    Agree. But that’s how the Dees mess with your head. Flat this week. Smash the Lions

    have a week of getting your hopes up then Hawkins kicks 6 and we are crushed!

    good times!

    Yep


    No matter what anyone says, there is huge pressure on us tonight. 

    We haven't had enough go wrong out of our control to mean that a straight sets exit after starting 10-0 and finishing 2nd is acceptable. It isn't.

    I put very little weight in the margin of the two H&A games. Finals are different. We won't blow Brisbane apart (if we do, that says way more about them than us). We are better than them, we should find it easier to score against them than Sydney given their leaky defence, and we should have a point to prove and a burning desire to right the ship.

    I don't mind if it's a slog, or if it's close, or if we're behind at points. I just want a win. I want a shot at Geelong in a prelim, where for the first time in a long time we'll be significant underdogs.

    funny thing is, if we win tonight, I think we will beat Geelong next week. go figure

    Things were certainly different last week. We just need to get the job done tonight, that is all. Not particularly fussed about the perfect performance. Win and go 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.

    • 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.
