We are now very much on top. The wet ground and the poor excuse for an AFL standard oval kept Geeling in it.

Stop the 3-4 small in close handballs.

We don't crumb packs well at all. Bruhn, Close and Miers are a cut above our crumbing players.

Salem, Hibberd, Grundy, Smith and Rivers playing well.

Please stop kicking it straight to Stewart and Guthrie. 

Agree, we are well on top - just need to show it on the scoreboard. Can we swing Petty forward. Either way, subbing out a tall for Spargo should help.

Good/decent: Hunter, Smith, Salem, Grundy, Rivers and Viney. 

Bad: Brayshaw, Tracc, Max, the umpiring and whoever is playing on Rowan!

 

I reckon we've smashed them pretty much all game. Keep this up and I've no doubt we'll win.

We will win this. Smith BOG

Ummm, it was disappointing....

And Salem cops $3k for tackling a bloke and winding him

We improved that quarter and upped the pressure. I expect us to step up a bit more this next quarter. 

We will have to if we are to overcome the rubbish umpire's decisions.

This quarter is ours.

 

 

More concerned with their non decisions 

 

Geelong is playing from behind, and using the soft or close to the line scragging. Why doesn't the one who wants and get to the ball first, get an advantage anymore? Becoming more of a defenders game, if the umps don't pay those in the backs, push and shove 5 meters away from ball when in a stoppage, and holding.

C'mon Tracc, run over them.

My pregame post said tight to half time ..... and then away we go

I'm sticking with that prediction

I tipped us by 20. If we come out composed and continue to lock that ball in our 50, we win for sure.

Consider sub of van Rooyen if wet weather continues wit spargo 

Making a contest. All you can do in these conditions

The bigger bench and a sub helps to make the 37 that beats the 35.

Umpires

Nick Foot (2), Daniel Johanson (6), Brett Rosebury (8), Nathan Williamson (22)

No. 6…..he’s terrible

I wouldn't be surprised if Jeremy Cameron has a busted jaw, or worse.

Grundy and Smith have both been fantastic.

Agree.

Our small forwards not getting near it and entry into F50 worse than disgusting.

 

Max is a fantastic captain but there have been times when he's needed to forget the umpires and man the hell up.

 

This is one of them

Smith knockers are quiet.

Jon Ralph said it would probably be a fine. Dunstall said Stewart looked at Jack, saw him holding his shoulder then pushed him over and said he does stupid things at times, Joey said it's what the AFL I'd trying to crack down on and Sarah Jones said it's not a good look and you wouldn't want to see it in junior football

  • 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.
