Good to see Howes, Laurie, Windsor and Brown on the field and getting touches early. Nice goal threaded by K Brown on the boundary.

    Jvr has all the elements to get excited about.... including accuracy.


    Roo looks our most likely up forward.

    I like Fritsch and Koz as smalls but will need to find a few more big targets.

    Things looking ominous from a Richmond perspective. Demon mids doing as they like.

    JVR kicks our fourth of the quart...errr....period

    25-1

    K.Brown with a rundown tackle! Hands off to Petracca who kicks his 2nd!

    Schache giving the chop out in the ruck. I much prefer this so JvR isn't exposed to extra risk there.

    Interesting that the goals that seem difficult and the ones he doesn't spend time thinking about are the ones Tracca nails.

    Brown looks lovely up forward.

    Max looks as fit as ever.

    Gee I've missed footy.

    Brown looks like he might be a little pest, I might love it

    Really nice passage of play through the middle with precision handballs - unfortunately ends with a Billing’s mis kick, but great to see

    K Brown looking promising. Love seeing Fritta lay a tackle even if it is high.

    I like Lauies skill and run, but a big question mark for me if he has the body and desire to put on physical pressure.

    Tuned in 10 minutes ago and it's been all Richmond and bombs into our crowded forward line.

    Back line being cut apart on rebound


    Richmond with the last three goals as the first period comes to a close.

    31-19

    The tall defenders are going to be a worry with this run and gun system. Lever has brain farts, May gets nervous under pressure and the Tug Boat can’t move the feet quick enough to evade pressure, nor can he defend.

    Some bad kicking leading to a Richmond goal late 

    Had some incredible passages of play in that qtr but mis kicks in both fwd and def 50 leading to missed opportunities and oppo score 

    Kick it high into the forward line.. nothing’s changed

    • 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.
