I would rather it was a legitimate shirtfront that took him out. 

No because we're better than that.

 

Hard to watch Jesse when he's playing like this ... grrr

There's no karma in footy. The only way it'd be equal karma is if m*****d was one on one in the backline and we were 3 points down with 10 seconds left and he did his knee and we kicked the winning goal by running past him helpless on the ground. In the grand final. Then I'd believe karma exists in footy again.

Not Karma but just because of his nature.

He'll do something again and someone will simply do it back.

Giants out of defence....

Use the entire ground

Take space by foot whenever presented

Run and spread quickly linking up with precision kicks much of the time.

Contrast this with our 'Run out of the square and bomb it long to Max' about 70%-80% of the time

I used to attend Dees v GWS at the MCG to boo Tom Scully. I hated GWS. It feels strange to admit how much I like watching them play now Kingsley is coaching them.

Fast, skilled and very well drilled


Where’s the Collingwood chant now?

Yeah same & I hated Toby especially when he was getting in trouble.  Thought he was an [censored].  

But now I really like them. They are good to watch.

On another note big mouth mason has only had the 2 disposals 


Leon Cameron had pretty much the same list fighting for 12th spot every year, what a new coach can do...

We fugged up royally with Toby Bedford. 

Pressure, pressure and more pressure.

Plus his pure pace the ultimate pressure forward.

They are so good by foot like we were the 1st year with Chocco on board.

Hogan had to leave our club to become the player he has become.

Never happening at the Dees.

Giants look so well organised all over the ground. Kingsley has them playing awesome footy to watch

Nope karma would have been them losing the gf last year even by a few points. He's got his premiership.  He wouldn't care if he did a knee or got knocked

Disagree respectfully, he's good at that, but nowhere near Pickett in terms of scoreboard

Conversely, Buckley trying to make Collingwood a defensive team then Mccrae comes in and uses the players abilities to their advantage

We couldn’t play both forward?

  • 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.
