Yeah Touk!!!! Soft free and softer 50 = a goal. But it’s against Essendon so all’s good. Go Sunscreamers!!!

 

Couldn't care less if GC beat the Bombers, they'll both beat us.

Essendon lost! Come on, that’s gotta cheer folks up a little. It’s cheering me up a bunch. 🤩

Cheered me up marginally. 


Umps tried for the Bombers.

How I look at it:

Dees are thrashed + Essendon loses > Dees are thrashed and Essendon wins.

 I’m taking any and all positives out of today. 

I admire your positivity, in what are very trying times..  

Hard to find much to be happy about right now, but Essendon losing Is certainly better than them winning, I suppose 

 

Match Review Officer Michael Christian has slapped the first-year midfielder with a two-game suspension for the act, rendering him ineligible to win this year’s Rising Star award.

Christian assessed the incident as careless conduct, high impact and high contact, resulting in the two-match sanction.

Pity that he couldn't show the same degree of clarity last year. How is he still in a job? Threatening to resign because his former club could lose Maynard for a final was a low point for even the AFL

That 50 was a disgrace to the game, I defy anyone to hate Essendon more than me, but that is a shambles. I did love Essendon losing though.

Mac Andrew is a star. Barring injury, he'll be the best tall back in the AFL within 12 months

Cannot believe some on here thought he was not worth it in his draft year 🤷‍♂️

Should be in red and blue

I will give it a crack. 

Look essendon losing was good but also frustrated me because today we could have jumped up to 3rd and been only 2 points behind them.

Instead we are now out of the 8. Ugh!

  • 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.
