Always enjoyable belting west coast. Thoroughly dislikeable mob.

    That score review guy needs to be fired. Looked like a goal to me, at worst it was worth a closer look. I'll be bringing this up in August if percentage becomes a factor! Plainly unprofessional.

    Good solid scrappy win. A 10 goal margin was probably about par. Grundy is a freak of nature.

    Well it wasn't pretty but we got the Easter eggs.

    Vineys back and so is Fritta.

    Grundy still going gangsters.

    Tmac has returned and Kozzie out for 2 weeks could have kicked six.

    McVee and Hiibberd great in our baxkline.

    Using our wings again to create opportunities. 

    Any win against eagle supporters is a goid one.

    Petty back behind the ball, BBB up forward

    For all the whining about the umpires (not entirely unjustified), we won the free kick count 22 to 16.

    Completely justified in fact. No advantage that I could see to either team, there was just simply no consistency. I use the cliché reluctantly, but the adjudicating out there was a raffle. For evidence, just look at the centre bounce ‘call backs’ alone. It’s an embarrassment to the game.

    Good to see tmac find some form and jvr snag a couple. Fritsch oozing pure class as usual. Nice percentage boost and no injuries.

    bring on the bombers

    I love being a good team. Underwhelmed by a 10 goal win in Perth

    Grundy slowly hitting vintage AA form. Imagine Pies fans watching that.

    They carp on about the fact that if they kept Grundy, they couldn't have brought in 4 players during the trade period, being McStay, Hill, Mitchell and God knows who else.

    It's quality, not quantity filth fans.

    Salem should take Bowey’s spot IMO. 

    Salem should earn his way back through the VFL at this point. 2021 was a long time ago now, and he hasn't played too well in over a year (not his fault - but true all the same).

    McVee won’t be back at Casey anytime soon. Love his balance and composure. JJ looked very good when he came on. Chandler is now a fixture. JVR is a beast. A lot to like.

    Petty was probably our one negative from the day. Never looked settled in the forward line, lost some easy one-on-ones and was moved back to defence.

    Think BBB might have to bide his time at Casey until the opportunity presents itself

    Memo to AFL

    If you're going to do goal line reviews get a camera and a replay that inserts the goal line

    that shot on the final score was atrocious

    Maybe we worry about Salem when he’s ready to return …

    That 50m penalty against Hunter was one of the worst I have seen.

    Was Hibberd injured? AFL app says so but I didn’t hear the commentators mention anything during the 4th quarter?

    No. Subbed out in the last for JJ. Not injured. Just managed.

    Love Chandler's efforts, works hard in the forward 50 but runs back just as hard in defence. 

    He doesn't want to give up that spot any time soon by the looks.

    Very true, spent Easter with some Filth fans (the things you do for family peace...).  They were adamant that it was a good call to get rid of Grundy and that they'd be fine even with Cox out.  Said it's better to have players all on the same pay packet rather than someone on more like Grundy.

    Essentially what Collingwood saved getting rid of Grundy only paid for McStay.

    Great professional win.

    McVee, Grundy, Fritta, TMac, Viney, Hunter, Rivers, Sparrow all good.

    Must keep JVR in. 
    Might be a game changer for Trac’s confidence in front of goals.

    Didn't really notice but no doubt Clarrie had plenty.

    • 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.

      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.
