I don't think I'll be able to handle this Collingwood love in commentary all night. Already over it 10 mins in

How happy was Markov getting a spoil on the ball there. Pies secret is happiness and playing for each other it seems. FMD.

    Moore’s kicking is his weakness. Force him long down the line and he often gives it back.

    True. but i still reckon he’s the best tall back in the game this year

    I have no idea why anyone thinks Collingwood are "far and away" the best side in the competition.

    2 of their 3 goals came directly from his poor kicking. I think Coaches like him deep and forced to kick. He’s a great mark, but the penetration in his kick is shallow.

    Collingwood being gifted free kicks - the umpires must be listening to the commentators who will not shut up about b****y Collingwood. The Blues have woken up and are playing a very similar game to how the Dees beat the Pies - giving up the run through the wing but clogging up half forward.

    LOL at watching all you guys having to barrack for Carlton. 🤣

    Carlton's entries are low, deep and to a contest, and it's making it very hard for Collingwood to cope with. Collingwood are stemming the potential damage though so far.

    The Blues are winning the contests though, and that's the key to winning.

    The lack of replays affirms the frees the umpires have missed. Hodgey calls out Quaynors throw but no replay. Would’ve been a shot on goal to Carlton.

    They are not very good at the contest the Pies. It’s why I think they won’t dominate finals like most people think they will.

    So one umpire decides it’s preseason and gives the Pies a 50 for a blues defender calmly pointing at the screen saying have look. Ump says you can’t point at the screen which is clearly not true as it happens every game

    Three 50’s to the Pies and it’s Q time

    Why? Surely we should hope they lose( and damage a few Pies)

    Remember when they said we played”bruise-free” footy?

    I hate 'em all.
    But Essendon and Collingwood are far and away at the top of the list.

    Without knowing anything about Mitch's character and making no corresponding observation, I would like to observe he looks much more like Butthead than our boy Fritsch!

    • 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.
