    So far we have seen Gawn and Grundy sharing ruck duties.

    Oliver, Viney, Pickett, Harmes, Sparrow and Petracca have all rotated at centre bounce.

    Petracca is impressive.

    Hunter is a great addition. Owning that wing spot that we have struggled to fill for years now.

    Dominating play but hitting up leading forwards is still very poor.

    Can’t see anything at ground level. Can’t wait for nosebleed seats at the G with a balmy 2 degree southerly in my face. 
     

    Look to have a few turnovers this quarter and no signs of the quick play on through the corridor that we were hoping for.

    I have have seen enough to ink Hunter for round 1 and pencil McVee for round 1 as well. Whilst they have both had their moments I really dont like a forwardline with both TMac and Brown and we do still scream for a crumber at the spill when Koz not there. Our clear want to move forward with short quick kicks and also our spinning of more players through the midfield are positives. Granted neither Harmes or Sparrow have really made the most of the time.

    I didn’t get the email from Kayo to activate the voucher. I assume you didn’t either. I had to ring the membership and they fwd to me.

    I’m going to give benefit of the doubt and put it down to the unpredictable conditions. Our ball movement has been pretty good. 

    We’re dominating play and are not getting a fair run from the umps. 

    They’ve missed some howlers and given them some really soft ones that haven’t been reciprocated at the other end.

    View from the top of the stand is excellent if you can find room

    Just getting the early rust out of the system.

    If we can still clean up our forward 50 entries then we'll be fine this year.

    Not sure about Spargo’s headband. Looks like Phil Lesh from The Grateful Dead.

    Kayo extended highlights during the breaks are bloody annoying. Put a commercial on FFS.

    Was just thinking that

    I’m really looking forward to seeing JVR. Surely old knee Brown and old foot McDonald are done. 

    Compression bandage on J Adams knee. Walking around just fine on the ground. 
     

    More Casey guys so 18 warming up for the next game so far. Haven’t seen Verrell or Schache.

    Have to think JVR and Jj get a run soon in the main stuff

    • 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.
