Very easy task this week:  only a page and a bit to wade through.  Unsurprisingly their few fans are not that engaged.

  • I'm not saying i'd sell my soul (if i had one) for a win…Buuuuuuuut....
  • Finally had good communication and run and carry against Richmond.  Demons will be a totally different task.
  • Our midfield will need to be on fire and our forward line will need to click as well.
  • If we bring our third quarter for the whole game we'll win.
  • Unlike the previous 2, this isn't a must win for me, but we can't be carved up.  unlucky for melbourne playing such an inform team like the suns.
    • Ha just their luck coming up against such an in form formidable opponent.
  • Let’s keep the loss under 10 goals, dees will be coming in hot after pumping a poor kangas team
  • If we could some how pinch this one, it would be huge, especially with WC the following week and getting us to 4-4
  • Melbourne are getting a bruise-free training drill before next week. 
  • Saturday arvo 4.30.  At least if it's thrashing the rest of the footy world will have forgotten about it by lunchtime Sunday if not 10pm Saturday

    I won't be around much to do these for the rest of May so if someone would like to take over these reports, you are welcome.

    @Queanbeyan DemonI think this was your gig before I hijacked it...

    It’s truly telling how little engagement this club has after so long in the competition.

    Anyways our first quarter > their third quarter 

    Take this lightly and we will lose. Come out with the same mindset we did against Norf and it’ll be a 10 goal smashing.

    This is a fair point.  GCS seem to always give us a hard time when we go there.  We can't be complacent.

    And yet I don't think we've lost to them since 2014.

    I think it works in our favour that this game is at 4:30 and not at night, it will be less slippery and dewy which we struggle with.

    Having said that, I haven't checked the weather forecast and for all I know it could be pounding down with rain

    forecast no rain, light winds 22/23c at start of game, 20/21c at end of game.  sounds good conditions

    I think those comments are balanced, and will add two things. Be very interested to see how many frees Matty Rowell will get along with Lucretia and Is i hope we get Razor again.

    Autocorrect for Lukosius? If so, your device is impressively refined.

    Rowell vs Clarrie and Viney for contested possessions will be fun to watch.

    • 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.
