    Nick Daicos should be sent off for a concussion test everytime he drops his knees and gets tackled around the head

    It was a hard fought game, but I felt it went long.

    Well anyone who blames the AFL for our missed scoring opportunities is imbecilic. I cbf reading back through the thread so I’ll take your word for it that there are some people on here who are imbecilic.

    It was one of the best games of football in years.

    I for one am shocked that a contentious umpiring decision at the end of the game helped gift Collingwood a premiership.

    A few Lions players were below their best today.

    Even Zorko as much as you hate him, really disappointing.

    Add Hipwood, Cameron, Neale, Dunkley.

    Bet we all have someone at work we aren’t looking forward to seeing 😤

    Lions played slow boundary line football like we do.

    Collingwood probably should have won by around 20 but they didn't really take the game on either.

    Not sure I would call it a great game. Tentative close game more like it

    I know a lot of people are disappointed with our flag being won in Perth rather than on the MCG, but the way we won it is undeniably much more satisfying than what Collingwood dished up this September. Fair play to them though, best team in it all year and there is clearly method to how they win so many close ones. Flat that they won today but not as flat as Geelong winning one and life still went on. No Zorko medal is a bonus.

    I hope this result burns in our guts.

    We should have beaten the Pies in the first final. Not sure we would have beaten a spirited GWS but if we had our kicking boots on, maybe. And probably would have beaten a pretty effective but boring Lions outfit today. 

    The Pies are a good side obviously but I think we’re better, even without our forwards (as shown by some of our best missing terribly in that game). 

    Anyway, huge missed opportunity. Hope the boys know it and practice kicking over the summer, and maybe we pick up a new forward coach and think of some. We ideas to capitalise on the team.

    Would love to be there in 2024 to win it at the G.

    I just wanted to knock off Collingwood so then they would have had to go to Brisbane. Brisbane would have knocked them off at home. It's all what ifs and buts but Collingwood just believe and never give up

    Go and get Naughton its that blatantly obvious, this team needs some separation that Tmac and BBB gave us in 21.

    Friggen fix it while you have the draft capital.

    This club that won the flag 1 hour ago were on the ropes and hanging on for dear life against us.

    Kicked 0.2 in the last quarter of the QF because we had 1 tall playing his 1st year as a marking forward inside 50. 

    Get busy Dees do something constructive, don't just sit on your hands and this is the problem 12 months down the track.

    #FFS.

    I reckon the only part of this that is correct is that Collingwood should have won by more. 

    How you reached the rest of your conclusions is beyond me. It was fast, skillful, aggressive and exciting.

    Wow.. I think that's on you then.

    That was one of the best grand finals I've watched in years in terms of how incredibly close it was and the pressure from both teams.

    I wonder if Fagan will say anything to berry about that dumb 50. 

    But again they let there opposition kick the first 2 goals. Then let De Goey respond after daniher kicked that goal.

    Take a look at the third quarter

    Last quarter only marginally better

    (put the scores out of your mind as that was the thing that kept it interesting)

      The Demons head to the Red Centre to face St Kilda in Alice Springs, aiming for a third straight win to keep their push for a Top 8 spot alive. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
