Great goal from Grundy. He has special skills for a guy his size. 
I like Moniz Wakefield in the middle. Could that be his role at AFL level?

BG seems to have a long torso but shorter legs which could be the reason he’s so good at ground level. Huge unit though. Seems to cover the ground relatively quickly for a big guy too. 

Very obvious free to Grundy not paid. Absolute rubbish. 
 

Adams looking likely. Doing some nice work.

If Schache could be this good at AFL level we’d be laughing. 

We’ve only played him 1 game. We really should have given him more given time how much we’ve let JVR coast at AFL level.

There is a reason we are his third AFL club. And he was a top 10 pick. 
It’s because he hasn’t been able to perform at the highest level in basically any role, even playing for very good teams. 

 

What’s with the commentary being so over the top when Coburg does anything? 🙄


Jefferson is special. Adams also looks the goods at the other end. 
 

Seston not doing much.

seriously good play and goal from Jefferson

Watching him closely last few weeks I think he’s going to be someone Special in the future

He has his own way of going about the game and continues to surprise each week as his confidence grows

How is Brodie looking up forward?

Just ok.

But could have 4 goals if he kicks better

Not good for mine

gives away free kicks

doesnt lead and has no leap

doesnt convert 

you can’t make a silk purse…

He’s a ruckman 


Verrell is much better and further ahead of Farris White. Which isn’t surprising. 
Verrell looks good. No idea who his opponent is to be fair.

Hibberd being rested this quarter ??

Fair enough too. They obviously just wanted to get a run in his legs after a few weeks off with the kidney injury. 
Nothing he can learn at this level. He’s waaaay too good for VFL it’s laughable. 

can someone tell Leo to do whatever ............

  • 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.
