Tigers dominating the centre clearances.

And smashing them in contested possessions also.

    The Tiges need to play body-to-body more, and to nominate an backline interceptor like Lever. McKay and Curnow are being given a run and jump at too many balls. 

    Blues getting murdered at ground level. Taranto, Green and Dusty tearing them to pieces.

    Not to make the non-MFC thread about us, but the speed teams are playing at this season is worrying.

    I don't think we've got the capacity to adapt to this with our list and gameplan. Might be a long one this year.

    Curnow is just so enjoyable to watch. Will be an all time great. A true KPF.

    Blues as good as they are offensively as they never win a flag without another KPD.

    Haven't capitalized on it though.

    Thought the Tiges held em off very well considering the time in possession & number of entries i50

    Poor conversion by the Blues. I hope they rue their poor goal kicking at the end of the game.

    He actually could be so much better. He's got very little craft or tact - he's all athleticism, footy IQ and skill. Obviously still enough to be just about the best forward in the comp but if you watch closely there's a lot he doesn't quite do that well

    Close game but not the best quality.

    Blues run forward of the ball way too much, Tigers get them on the counter when being a tad more defensive would help the Baggers (Not Goody level defensive).

    Tigers hanging in when they shouldn’t be, Carlton too busy thinking they are world beaters.

    More scuttlebutt about Petty going to the croweaters next year.

    We can't even get him on the park.

    Is it open season on Dees players?

    At that size, to move the way he does, is just freakish. His marks stick and has great kicking technique. Takes the very best to take him out of the game.

    The half time reporter from Adelaide just said that Harrison Petty is almost certain to be wearing Crows jumper next season.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
