    The timing of his jump and sheer reach is awesome. He's looking good.

    Brayshaw still off getting assessed for concussion 

    I reckon he’ll get subbed off. It was a clear ground hit and mcclugge should get suspended. Should have been a free and yet they pay the cheap one to the Lions 5 seconds later which results in a goal.

    Poor clearance work late.

    Why does it often Gawn wins the hit out but the balls finds only opposition players...

    Is it the position of our mids around the ruck contest?

    Uneducated post. Melksham could have had 3 goals.

    Clearance work in the first 10 mins was first class. Need to not overthink it

    May has to tighten up on Daniher who looks like he might have one of those ‘on’ nights. 

    Really like what Melk brings. Has looked dangerous, will be even better if he kicks a few. But love the contribution, gets to the right spaces as always.

    Is that the one when he tapped that one straight to the Lions player after our last goal.

    What’s wrong with the old ‘Jeff White’ thump it forward hit out?

    Brisbane got too much reward in that Q1. Melbourne clearly dominated the contest.

    if Milkshake could kick straight - eg score a snap from 15m directly in front 

    We’d be 5 goals up

    Hot start, could have been hotter with Melksham kicking a couple extra. Would love to blow them away now and then defend for the second half.

    Really he got a kick after that play 


    That was nice to read a GameDay thread for a quarter without a meltdown.

    Nice dumping tackle on Gus not picked up by umps.

    This!

    Just get the ball out of the way when there is less than 30 seconds... It's a no brainer.

    Sometimes we try to be too perfect.

    I’m probably one of the few liking Milkshakes game and role. One free kick wasn’t there against Harris-Andrews as the body work was to assist the mark.

    His one wood is his kicking so I’m backing him to slot more than he misses although he should have at least one on the board.

    Absolutely, looks engaged and involved in the game doing some really nice things 

     

    How was that kick from Petracca. This move into the forward line seems to have rejuvenated him a bit, he's so much more dynamic.

    • 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.
