Ankle sprain, foot got stuck under Sicily in the last 30 seconds. 

God damn Hawthorn. Good for nothing useless football club. Relegate them. 

 

Job done, move on. 
Still feel like we aren’t clicking and seem to lack some polish, plenty to work on. 
Port next week will be a great test

I hope Petty and Petracca are playing.

Can't believe I'm going to have to watch Sparrow have 12 touches a week @ 28% efficiency for the next 8 years

10 of those in the first half and then he just stopped. 


I can still remember 2014 when we lost to them by 50 points but it felt like we’d had a dip. More than happy to have the roles reversed. 
Loved Trent Rivers’ game today. Vins is having an excellent season. 
Not sure what Sparrow brings. 
Go away Jason Dunstall. Sick of having him cheer against us. 
 

Really feel like petty not playing the second half had a bigger impact than I thought it would, doesn't help that the hawks actually decided to stop playing like a U-16 team for 10 mins

Rivers was best on ground in terms of exceeding expectations but the Big 3 midfielders were just immense. 


Hibberd slaughtered Breust and May, Lewis. The backline was very good. Clearances remain an issue - can’t understand why given the personnel. Real shame that Petty was subbed out - was looking to be a turning point game for him as a forward. Love what Spargo brings.

 

A solid win, but after a couple of soft kills we really need a challenge, bring on Port

Hopefully petty and trac ok.

Bigger challenges to come. We bank the 4 points and move on.

Last week was not a soft kill. We got lucky to win. 

A solid win for May's 200th over the horrible Hawks.  Gotta be happy with the result.

Looks like BBB in for Petty next week

Tracc 50/50

That Sicily.... what a [censored] and i don't mean for the Tracc tackle either.  Some of his work off the ball when he feels he's out of the contest is school yard rubbish.

If you offered me a ten goal win before the game I would have taken it.

What happened to Trac?

Rolled ankle.  Seemed unperturbed when interviewed post match.

It felt like that was the game where Petty kicks a 3-5 goal haul and really gets his confidence up, started clunking them which was nice

Sorry l meant North & Hawthorn 

 

I'm watching back the Kayo coverage and Trac was interviewed and reckons he's fine but just caught in a tackle.

Hopefully the physios can buff that out

  • 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.
