I don’t know how we managed to pick up McVee as a rookie but I’m glad we did.

    My 3 point half time PowerPoint slide headings:
    1. Carlton are rubbish
    2. Dees lack class & polish
    3. Rubbish game of footy with almost no highlights.

    I am so very bored watching this.

    Great game of VFL this.

    This is really a very low quality game. The unforced errors are leading me to believe we are tired from loading…😂

    Two horrible teams. What a fall from grace by the dees. This is not finals or premiership winning football

    Gee Fritta is a mile off. He and Pickett need to dominate the 2nd half

    The quiet and nervous crowd tells you all you need to know about these 2 teams... Very poor footy.

    our disposal of the ball is absolutely terrible, we are turning it over time and time again.

    I know we look garbage skills wise but I'm fine with this. We're in a lull with execution and just need to work through it, that's what they are doing currently.

    Nice finish Van Rooyen.

    Not sure Joel Smith has justified his selection 

    I 100% disagree, a little out of it that quarter, but his attack on the ball is light years ahead of TMac

    Haven't seen fritta this out of sorts in a long while, him and kozzy need to gives us a bit more in the 2nd half.

    We're taking lots of our set shots from very wide in the pocket.

    Highlight is McVee. Quick, clean, sure handed. Kid is a star.

    I'm honestly relieved when he has the ball. You know it's going to be a good result.

    The filth won’t even bother reviewing us, they will just turn up 10 mins before the first bounce and win by 10 goals.

    58% kicking efficiency is as bad as it can get. 66% overall same as last week.

    Get that right and we are so much better.

    We have had so many unpressured kicks inside F50 which were horrible. And Brayshaw's was the wort. 

    Fritsch & Kozzie look lame.

    Spargo is getting it and then... stupidity.

    • 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.
