do we.. ask me in six weeks

The Pies gameplan is multiple levels above ours

Wouldn't say multiple but I definitely see theirs a lot stable then our current game plan which to be fair isn't far off at all.

    If anyone can beat them we can, but have to be somewhere near our best, and don’t let them get us with their run through the middle and on the outside.

    They get alot of goals out the back too, but if we work hard we can really punish them on turnover, as long as we don’t kick it straight to the likes of Darcy Moore.

    I like the way Crows and Swannies  played them, that’ll give us a few clues.

    the way the bears play them seemed to do the job

    What they have that we don't is good disposal.
    Last couple games they've picked us apart with it.

    I find SEN really hard to listen to these days but it’s worth the pain this morning listening to Carlton supporters ringing in and abusing their club.

    Watched Razor's performance again yesterday, and he is the best going around

    Anyone know what the crowd size was at the Pies Giants game, can't find it anywhere. 

    Found it 37,631 for a 4:40 start yesterday. We got 35,767 at the 1:10 game Vs The saints last year.

    We beat that vs Hawks at a similar time on Saturday there were 39,818 where apparently we outnumbered Hawks fans despite they having a membership of about 100,000 members.  Home game to both clubs.

    What a ridiculous thing to say, borderline offensive. No surprise though, they’ve been frothing over Cox the entire game. So cringey. 

    Same Gerard Healy who turned his back on Dees and went to Swans

    • 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.
