That was a great shot of the Geelong cheer squad then. He was on his 15th Canadian club and was looking like he couldn't find his way to the loo.

    These are the type of games that can "deerail" a season.

    That ought to shut them right up about the Catties.

    Bet they have a nice easy kill next week to fall back on at the Cattery.

    Actually it is GW$ - one can only hope for four in a row.

    Oh GWS at the Cattery next week, that will be interesting.

    Could have sworn the AFL default fixturing would have lined them up against a Norf or Hawforn type arrangement at the Cattery after an away trip.

    They have had both Norf and Hawf already, boosting their % and temporary top spot

    Please send Essendon up there next year 

    ... and Geelong as well.  

    Knowing AFL however it will probably be us off a 5 day break 😠

    I know the AFL want more goals but games like these are just awful. I’d much prefer a slog with total points < 150. It just makes goals feel more valuable.

    Commentators at pains to tell me how brave and wonderful Geelong is. Imagine if we were coping this type of smacking 🙄

    Won't be many pumping up the cats strategy of managing players after the last three games.

    But there might be some pumping up the sun's strategy.

    Back to back games in Darwin, off a 5 day break.

    They rested 5 players I think.

    Credit to the Suns, they ran it out pretty well.

    I've NEVER wanted to stay up to listen to an opposition coaches press conference before. But I might have another beer and hang in there.

    Cats have giants next week.

    And Sydney at the SCG 2 weeks after, before the bye. I think they’ll struggle to win either of those, and turn 8-5.

      The Demons head to the Red Centre to face St Kilda in Alice Springs, aiming for a third straight win to keep their push for a Top 8 spot alive. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
