Great quarter Melbourne, well on top in that one. Whether we win or not is a different story.


These umps have been so inconsistent. Pies players get tackled, spun around 3 times and keep the ball for 20 seconds. Ball up.

What's wrong with Tracs kicking?? Costing us some couple opportunities at goal.

Markov tried to break the tackles.  Umps you are farkkkkkkkn ridiculous 

What's Tim Watson's story? Has been having digs at Melbourne all game.

Wish Rivers wouldn’t [censored] himself every time he touches it.

50/50 from here.

THAT’S HOLDING THE BALL!!

Amytime, any game, anywhere, any granny.

But heh, just not against Collingwood.

Would be great if Petracca could show some form of composure.

C'mon lads! We got this!!

Umps have been great imo letting them play


Our defence was impeccable that quarter. That being said, our kicking into the forwardline needs a lot of work. We can't just rely on our defence to win us this game.

Are the Pies out of gas or saving themselves for a 4th quarter blitz?

Those easy misses are really really hurting us now. 

Need a huge 4th quarter from everyone - leave nothing in the tank. 

 

Look, this game could blow out either way, or more likely, come down to the wire. 
 

But I’m proud of the way we’ve played so far.

Bet you they will pay one the other way in the last at a crucial time to influence the result

  • 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.
