Just in time to beat the Filth - about time we did.

was wondering ..out of say the last ten Crown holiday matches how many have we won

Hopefully Petty is back then too - critical to our team structure.

i think zero, if not we haven't had a win in a long time.

Definitely beat them 2017. I was back in Australia and watched a bit on TV. First i'd ever heard of big freeze and celebrities going down slides into a pool of ice. Its the MCG  not Disneyland. Its for charity i believe .

1 out of 10

I suspect that for five of those years at least we were the higher ranked team.

Oh well .. let's see what this year brings

We have 2-8 record on the Holiday Monday against Collingwood in the last 10. It's starting to get humiliating.

We've won 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2016, 2017.

There is a myth going around that we also won the Queens Birthday game in 2000 where Farmer kicked 9 but that occurred on the Saturday of the QBDAY weekend.

Fantastic news with Oliver.

We won two in a row think 2017 and 2016.

This.

He and Clarry make us so much better.

Somehow I don't think he will make it. Still listed as 2-3 weeks, but I guess we do have 10 days between games so it's possible. He does tend to take longer to recover from injuries in general.

Clarry is a magical healing unicorn. 

  • Whispering_Jack changed the title to Clayton Oliver Set to Return for Kings Birthday

Statistically speaking with every loss, we get closer to a win.. that is all the logic I can count on now because every other insight tells me we are going to lose another one this year.

  • 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.
