We can’t deal with the slippery conditions. We are wrong footed and fumbley as a result. They are doing fine with it. How many high tackle frees have we given away this quarter? Some kind of record

    Why are they playing American john Denver.

    Because Brisbane people don’t give a [censored] about AFL.

    Attitude and performance of our midfield tonite is pathetic, we won’t do any better than last year and haven’t learnt much based on this performance - no commitment and desire to dig in when it gets tough


    Ashcroft is the new Duckwood.

    What a disgraceful comment. Footy involves 2 teams. Sometimes, believe it or not, you get beaten. Check yourself before you comment next time. 

    Seriously this is not a two team performance. We are ball watching. This is absolutely putrid.

    Showing he comp early we pretty ordinary when the pressure's on.

    Listening to half the people on here today it was apparently us who were the mentally stronger.

    I seriously don't rate Brisbane ....which makes our performance so far ....appalling.

    If half of our usual culprits lift we win this.  Thats how bad we're going and how easy it will be to turn it around

    may, salem, gawn, pickett out of the game, grundy and plugger barely played for a year, viney and fritsch coming back from knee and ankle injuries respectively - just too many of best 22 unavailable or not match fit

    Dont make excuses we are PUTRID TONIGHT

    OLIVER, CAREER WORST PERFORMANCE add VINEY, PETTY, LEVER ,TMC HARMES ET AL Just terrible from too many

    Trying to play system footy without the elite players the system is designed upon.

    At some stage we have to play draft, develop and play the game on its merits.

    Players with the physical attributes and training to play the game as it presents itself rather than relying on Superstars like Gawn making life easy for them 


    Lever a clear BOG for me.

    Jake Bowey not far behind.

    • 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.
