    Quality game. I think if we're able to get out the back Carlton are vulnerable but aside from that it's going to be about who wins the most contests.

    Wouldn't call it quality but we have way more upside than them, we should get it done

    Hunter the sloppiest player I’ve ever seen.

    Heart in mouth every time he even picks up the ball as it looks like it will just slip through his fingers.

    Ship him off.... I've had enough

    I’ve never seen the kind of pressure Carlton are dishing up. It’s beyond extraordinary. Playing out of their skins. They can’t possibly keep it up, and when it drops, we’re in. Well done boys, hold your cool.

    Got the same feeling. As bad as we have been with unforced errors, we have absorbed a lot. We can turn it around. I'm not sure Grundy is the answer up fwd.

    Ffs this is how they play every week. [censored] me to death people who don't understand teams or formlines heading into a game. They are the best contested team in the league. They are the best defensive team in the league. You're seeing that.

    Win this and we can chill out the last two games and have a home first final against Collingwood

    The Carlton supporter behind me, I've just about had enough of him. He feels he has to tell out his opinion on every play. If he bags another one of our players I'll scream.

    We better win just to shut him up. 

    Just let him know they haven't made the 8 yet.

    Except the kicking at goal bit, 2 x shanks off the ankle....

    He's been kicking at 70% efficiency, not a major issue for me if he misses a couple.

    For mine:

    Hibbo on

    Smith forward

    JJ off

    Yes.

    Right in this game when we absolutely shouldn't be.

    Carlton playing as good a footy as they can and we are playing average... yet we're only down by 2 points!

    Get some players to lift and we got this.

    He rucks more and Gawn helps out the defenders

    When?

    Only turned it on with 5 mins to go after watching the Matilda’s. Carlton seems to have the numbers, though this is the sort of grind we like. Wouldn’t want them to string a few together. They are playing well, want the scalp

    Well I don't think we can play much worse and it's only a two point difference.

    If we keep playing our normal game instead of a change up to allow for the comditions we just might!

    Still trying for the clean chains of possessions in greasy conditions.

    Players like ANB & Sparrow looking to take on the tacklers instead of the quick surge kick forward.

    Makes no sense unless the oppo aren't closing and hopeless with their pressure.

    Unfortunately the Blues aren't one of those teams.

    So we either change the way we play to align with the conditions or it will be a coin flip, or worse!

    Will the players get this general message at half time and reset?

    If not why not !!??

    I don’t think it’s knee jerk. I’m just saying, we will definitely use the sub at some point and this is what I would do get the most out of the sub. That’s all. 
    We need to go at least half a quarter before we make a sub. It’s too risky to go this early. 

    Van Rein WTF 25M out 

    My 16 yo would've nailed those.

    What is the twidingly the ball [censored]. Even Trac has stopped that [censored].

    Is this what Mark William's teaches?

    Salem still looks NQR. Seems slow and reactive.

    Ever since I put him in my Fantasy and SC team he's been well off the boil. I've deleted both apps so don't worry he'll come good.

    20 minute mark of this third quarter. 
    Can’t sub off a midfielder this early in case we get an injury.

    • 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.
