Australia looks very lethargic. France's ball handling far better in the early game so far. They'll will win this easily I'm afraid...

Cheering against Aussie teams because of the media , ok then. 

I find it more enjoyable to cheer for my country than against it

You’re no great loss to the nation that’s for sure.

rubbish decisions to the Lions. Very pro hometown umpiring here.

 

What have the frogs ever given us except grief about our submarine fleet and a whole lot of funny sounding words into our vernacular. Go Australia.

Essendon ahead of Geelong on the ladder despite being belted twice by them.

Sometimes the ladder lies.

Essendon beat us convincingly. Yes, yet ladder tells the truth in this case.

As the great David King once said, it’s not who you play, it’s when you play them.

Essendon in gather round being a prime example.

A one goal win. Women's or mens I don't care. Both.

Crows by a point at half time. Dare to dream?

Hope the ‘Burgess’ team fitness kicks in the  2nd half and they roll Brisbane

Dees by 60. This is the non-mfc thread Jaded.

Aussies doing all the attacking but it doesn't look to me like either side will be able to overcome the opposition defence. The best chance of the game was to the Aussies late in the first half but blocked by the French Jake Lever (damn you rick).

Even if the Lions win, I hope this low margin remains because so far it’s dropped their percentage again. 


Worried about Australia right now. I think with Sam Kerr coming on France has a sneaky chance to slip in under the overly-attacking mindset brought on by the crowd and the sub.

How the -uck are none of these going in the net.

France is being super-professional right now. Very worried. Don't stuff this up by being too aggressive!!!

Just the nature of sports entertainment. Some teams favoured.

  • 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.
