I wonder if the nature of the facility means anyone would be punished for going there....

    Agree 100% Dazz, but also on what I saw of Billings last Friday, he will also become a bargain basement buy with huge upside! T. Mac down back? well on what I saw I would say if thats the case it's all over, unfortunately just too slow.

    Big year for Bill Laurie, a lot of competition for spots and I worry his lack of pace will see him never consolidate a half forward gig and lack of size will hurt him in the middle. But his game against Sydney as the sub was really good, he’s got some real class. Hopefully he can keep impressing on the track.

    Spargs hitting targets as usual and Trac powering through the middle.

    Yep, have been into this since the start. Was showing some excellent form before suspension, then just couldn’t bust back into the fold. Must have been frustrating, and I reckon he’ll want to prove one or two things to his previous employers.

    Agree it's a big year as it is for Woewodin but I can't see Bill making it in the present gameplan. Perhaps if we moved the ball faster and more directly he could be a useful player. Hard to tell

    I can’t believe we pay people for weird trick shots and a fascination with the new kids hair.

    If I was coaching Lachie Hunter and he was kicking the ball from a cone I’d shove it where the sun don’t shine.

    Come on MFC media, give us something interesting.

    Interesting clip in terms of highlighting good and bad kicking technique.

    I cant make out who has the first kick to Trac, but good technique with the ball drop close to his foot and hits a stationary Tracc.

    The last kick is by brown, and again good technique with the ball drop close to his foot and hits a leading Farris White.

    The odd man out is tracc. Ball drop nowhere near his foot. Terrible technique.

    It's actually a nice kick in terms of putting it in space for i think Farell to run onto which keep the ball in motion - a kick that Tracc is good at, in large part because there is bigger margin for error than say spotting up a stationary target or kicking for goal.

    IF we can release Brown and Windsor like that through the middle and off half back. It will change our transition game immensely. Not saying itll happen straight away but having the ball in Brown, Windsor, Spargs and Billings hands going i50 will change our shape in the coming years.

    Since 2020, when Petracca has more than his season average for score involvements

    2020 (more than 6) 5 wins 2 losses

    2021 (more than 8) 11-0

    2022 (more than 8) 10-1

    2023 (more than 8) 8-1

    In a nutshell, if Petracca plays an above average game and turns his possessions into scores we win.  If he kicks well we go into God mode (see end 2021) 

    Of course, one could argue it's the forwards output as much as the kicker but if there's one wish I have for next year is he has an up year in terms of his kicking.  Only Bont and Martin come close (and not even that close) to his importance in converting midfield possession to where it matters.

    I hope he is, he has the skills.  But his 2km time trial showed where he lacks.

    and has been the knock on him the whole time he was at Adelaide.

    big pre-season for him to change that opinion of him.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
