Enjoyable game to watch, made better by a Carlton loss. Can’t stand the carry on by their players whenever they kick a goal. Calm down, clowns. Only non-Melbourne game I’ve watched from start to finish.

    Geelong’s refusal to die is absolutely infuriating. 
     

    I also despise Carlton tho, so this is a neutral result.

    Let’s hope this is a classic preliminary final losing year for the cats

    Well, we're still in the top four.

    Even better, Collingwood will end the round out of the eight regardless of tonight's result.

    I can’t see it but if “pinch” the next two. We are back, if take one of the next 2. 
     

    I can’t see it happening.

    250k+ have gone through the MCG gates in 3 games. Unreal.

    It doesn’t apply when flights to the game are expensive.

    Poor defending by the blues allowing 18 goals … let’s see how our defence stacks up. 

    They’ll do nothing this year unless they fix that up. 3 weeks in a row conceding 100pts and they allowed Geelong to score 62% of forward entries. That’s bottom 4 defending.

    They can die next week.

    Can't help but admire bloody Geelong.

    After last year I thought they were going to start rebuild mode but not.. here we are again.

    Incredibly well drilled and disciplined as a team. They stick to their structure and back their system in and always number off around stoppages.

    Have enjoyed watching them this year.

    Just made a great comment.

    Said how good it was for Weightman to come off unassisted. Problem is he has probably dislocated his elbow again.

    Geelong gave up 105 points against a depleted and also inaccurate Carlton. We won't allow that. Geelong's conversion rate was off the charts. Unlikely to happen next week.  Add to the fact they're due for a loss we will win.

    This is all true. But it helps a lot when they have been almost injury-free.

    It's not as if it's called the Anzac Round. A few sides don't even appear to be wearing Anzac related guernseys.

    Watching DOGga kills me too, but for a different reason. 🤬

    • 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.
