What was the deal with the Fitzroy run through WCW? Particularly the back side. It looked like a 5 year old kids school project. 

LOL. Their backing looks like faded plastic picnic tablecloths glued together, and the graphic… I don’t know what the hell that was, but close up it was tiny and unclear so I can only imagine how bad it looked from afar.

    I have a lot of time for Caroline Wilson. She is a proper journalist.

    She had a niche - the politics of football, and is still the best at reporting on the back room stuff.

    Unfortunately her niche has become the template and has metastasised into the gutter gossip peanuts like to Tom Morris trade in. 

    Click bait chasing ****knuckles

    Respect your  opinion but somehow I feel she is the "mouthpiece" of the AFL when they want certain stories "out there".

    Only 39k but at the ground the dees fans were brilliant and super loud in the last quarter.

    I have zero doubt it was a big factor.

    Good work dees fans. 

    I concur. Especially in the last few minutes of the 4th qtr. After Viney's gutsy and gobsmackingly inspirational effort and goal when he literally ripped the ball from Oscar McInernay's hands, spun, got clear and kicked truly on his right foot, the deafening chanting of "Melbourne (clap clap clap)" either side of me was a stereophonic head-spin that saw bolts unriveting from the support poles on level 2 the Olympic Stand  The volume further surpassed WH&S limits when Melksham marked and goaled to put us in front. And then, to top things off, when we'd won, the Demon faithful singing the song so loud that it drowned out the version coming from loudspeakers will be something I NEVER forget. What a win. What a way to introduce a mate to the footy and entice him to become a MFC supporter. What a memory to treasure. Onwards and upwards, go the mighty Dees!

    Anybody still around that remembers a bloke called Tassie Johnson.

    Well he was there for a few minutes in spirit in that last Qtr.

    Ah. That brylcreem hair style. Had many chats to him after matches way back when.

    I feel like we rarely win games like that so it was such a nice change to be the one who stole it as opposed to being stolen against. When I woke up this morning had to check again that it wasn’t a dream and we really did come back and win it.

    The Rnd 23 2021 win will always be my favourite come from behind win but last night is right up there. Reminiscent of the 2000 QF victory.

    The 3AW call on Viney is just so so good!

    (They call Melksham JVR in the call of the Melksham grab though 😂)

    Prefer the MMM call as they turn the crowd noise up for a better reaction.

    How good was Rivers play to rebound off HB to make that forward play that resulted in the Milkshakes mark and goal. 

    Kid will be a recognised star of the competition soon enough 

    Lucky you. An early dinner after work and settling down for an early match. Early enough for the kids want to watch if there "Dee's".

    My only gripe was JVR got a massive shove directly in front which wasn’t paid and then Daniher got his later on.

    Both were free kicks but only one was paid. 
     

    Overall, the umpiring we have had this has been good, the Richmond game was by far the worst.

    Even though our instincts can often only see one way, we need to see the other side of the ledger as well.  Therefore, the Lions supporters would have also expected more free kicks.  They are no different to us

    The disecting of the actual game in a tactical sense is way way more interesting

    Last night's game was a beauty and of high standard.  Umpired well although there were a few errors (the players made more errors)

    In my view if the umps can get it right 8 out of 10 times they're doing well.  In other sports the expectation might be 9 out of 10

    It's daylight to the next hardest game to officiate.  Nothing comes close

    I was at the lights outside the Gabba last week, Zorko and Rayner and some others were waiting at the lights right next to me, I put the passenger side window down and said “Hey Zorko, keep Pettys mothers name out your [censored] mouth” he told to jam it but the other boys loved it.

    I thought I couldn’t possibly despise him any more than I already do. But, here we are.

    This is why Andy keeps paying those server bills - to highlight heroic efforts like this.

    That had nothing to do with the game - he had his Roaming Brian mic on in the toilet.

    The Brisbane Lions are very dislikeable 🤢

    • 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.
