He is an absolute gun.

Will go past Max at some point in the not too distant future to become the best ruck in the game.

    Next month is big for us here; GWS and WB away, and ESS and Carl at home. 

    Would love to be 7 and 9 and ready for the season to be ended by Coll away.

    C’mon lads! You can’t do it! I don’t believe in you! We are not Marshall! This is ATHENS! (You get that if you know Greek history and the movie 300 - it’s gold I assure you)

    Ahh, 7 of 9, I can't even remember which Star Trek it was but you have to respect the chutzpah of the producers to just overtly decide "We're going to have a main character who is a model, permanently wearing a tight bodysuit". Saved the franchise.

    Also, it is not possible to simultaneously know Greek history and the movie 300. You can switch between the two, but they cannot exist simultaneously.

    As for those coming four games, every one of those is also against a team which we want to see climbing juuuust up above Fremantle. Ideally we would see six or seven teams finish the season on eleven wins (or ten and a draw for Blues/Tigers) with Fremantle on ten. Because we don't want Fremantle to 'fail', we just want them as low on the ladder as realistically possible. 5th last with ten wins would be perfect, thanks.

    As an extension of the deathride I now find myself cheering for not only Freo's opponent but also all of the teams below Freo on the ladder who have a chance to overtake them. C'mon the Giants and Blues today.

    Percentage is a good guide of merit at this stage of the year. Freo are grouped with Dogs, Suns, Tiges, Swans just behind Bombers and just ahead of Blues. So we want all these other teams to keep winning without smashing out the lights. Realistically pick 8 would be nice.

    No. 

    That witch that disappeared suddenly said top 6.

    If not, I wasted a perfectly good goat

    Serong and Amish out will be huge, and the GWS ruck is playing great so could do well against dogga, I reckon GWS are right in this.

    If GWS and WB can win the next two I think we’re home. Freo would struggle to rebound from that and a top 7 pick could be back on the cards. Particularly if Sydney and the Blues get a run on at some point. Go Giants!!! (Eewww I feel dirty saying it).

    If only we’d rocked up and besten Freo! Argh! They’d be 12th-14th and we’d be on for pick 4,5 or 6. Dammit!!!

    I'd prefer Carlton winning. We don't want Voss sacked just yet.

    • 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.
