if it had been paid oob deliberately (just saying)

who was the closest freo player?   doggo?   lol

would have been at the 49m mark so kicked probably no closer than 55m. a very difficult kick hard up on the boundary and having to kick directly over the mark.  i know jamie elliot did it but that was a freak kick. Even a point would have been difficult.

given freo's kicking accuracy for the game, i'm tipping it would have been oob on the full

    That's why the footy commentators appear to be bright until you hear them speaking.

    Just a tad ridiculous, even for you Jaded

    And how do you know he hasn't messaged Max to show concern for his knee? More than likely he has, I'd say

    Not even close to ridiculous. He absolutely did our Club a huge disservice. And did so knowingly. There’s no love lost when a player puts himself before anyone else, let alone the entire Club. And there’s no room for a player who decides to come to us KNOWING for sure he wouldn’t be seeing his time out with us. I have it on extremely good authority that this was on his mind for waaaay longer than we knew.

    And you think Jaded is a little too harsh maybe? At least she’s not wishing a season- or even a career-ending injury on him like many in the cheer squad are. 😁 Be it right or wrong to feel that way, what he’s done to our Club, who btw gave him the world, is unacceptable and deserves to be treated as such.

    Oh how I’d love for that scenario to have transpired! Dog(ga) the saviour lining up to pinch the win for his beloved new club, only to miss the lot *contented sigh*

    Wouldn’t mind Sydney having a bruise free 100 point win and feeling comfortable about themselves into next week.

    Clearly facing a team on the rebound worked against us on Friday.

    Hawks giving a reasonable account of themselves here. They just can't convert.

    Still want them to get pasted mind.

    Swans love the 1 / 2 overlap using their FB straight up the guts.  Have to make sure we cover that this week.

    That's their preferred go to pretty much everytime from the kick ins.  Their next option is to try and link up run out wide around the boundary.

    Hope the umps don't go as easy on them as they are so far today.

    Allowed to drop the ball like a hot potatoe when tackled..  no frees called so far on about three of those.  Same as the Lions in the first quarter on Friday.

    Frosty doing Frosty things. Lol

    I'm still nervous when the ball is in his hands and I hate the hawks.

    i'm not watching the dorks game, but looking at the stats they seem to be matching swans pretty well except for scoring, but being smashed

    Hawks have got both hands firmly on that wooden spoon. And it’s round 2.

    Didn’t think you could make the hawthorn jumper look uglier but I was wrong. 

    You could let Chris Fagan don it.

    Yep they're gonna go close.  No forward line & pretty much no weapons anywhere

    This is just the sort of game Sydney drops.

    Hawthorn beat them easily at the SCG last time .

    Okey-dokey

    If Hawthorn only want to recruit players that will be part of their next premiership then they should be scouting prenatal clinics.

    Hawks need a seasoned and experienced  coach like Clarkson to take over and arrest the malaise.

    • 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.
