The hospital handballs from the get go are killing us.

I think even if we win this we will feel somewhat concerned.

Discos gets a goal.

Sheesh talk about needing that.

I think we may get going now but ai can't explain the last forty mins

Me personally? Close to zero, but our leaders on the field are absent. You can tell by the way the game is being executed.

They're playing poorly, but I'm not sure we can say they're leading poorly.

Hope so

It's been rather lukewarm so far

That's how we roll.
Dare I say it .... Boring.


Maxy must have been in rare form in September 2021 because he's tried an on-the-run from outside 50 goal multiple times since that prelim goal vs Geelong and never made the distance let alone been on-line.

Gawns kicking.....

He is always a flip of a coin, you get the good with the horrible 

Rick trying to thread the 40 plus meter needle.  What for?   Your goal son


Our disposal is a dead set disgrace tonight.

You would think this is local football.

Nah, there is no energy or desire tonight. We are equally matched by a team that is worse than West Coast.


Why would Lever do that?

He was under no pressure at all and just kicks it straight in the middle as if passing to a tigers player.

What has happened to our skills?

Maxy do the team thing and hit up a free player.  You're the leader!

  • 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.
