Great to see a mark and goal from JVR, he needed some confidence booster.

    Finally paid dissent lol

    The whole "dissent" saga has been such a joke from where it started in that first pre-season game vs Carlton in 2022 to where it is now, as essentially a "don't mention the scoreboard replay function" is so silly but so typical of the AFL.


    we're better than the Crows. my only worry is fatigue. we've looked flat at times

    Hey I’ll take it, just another highlight that these umps don’t have much of a clue

    Told ump to watch screen after being  told to quiet down

     

    So close for Kozzie, would have been great to finish the half with a goal there.

    Wasteful but a good last period, let’s come out like that, convert, and we will be just fine.

    As long as it's paid against these supporters team it's all good.

    He was going for Brown but he wasn't fast enough to take advantage of the lead, Kozzy should have gone high behind Brown.

    And I don't blame him, Brown wasn't even attempting to mark got away with that one.

    I think he spoiled/knocked the ball before contact.

    Yeah and his arm was tucked in. The contact made it untuck.

    Funeral like atmosphere over there. May it get even quieter in the second half

    Did we just get another 50 in addition to the dissent? What do they do let him kick without a man on the mark?

    Should be a free in the centre square after the goal if you've already got a free on the goal line.

    Borderline 

    What a struggle.

    BBB cant get off the ground.

    Clarry struggling.

     

    Billings was no good at St Kilda. His career survived on being a high draft pick and playing one good game every 5-6 weeks.

    Exact same player showing up at Melbourne. He's just warming the spot for McAdam.

    • 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.
