Great kick from knuckles and great effort to square the contest by Petty, freeing up Chin for the overlap

 

JVR Viney Oliver our best so far.

    We're letting them play their chip chip game


    Lachie Neal powers out of the clearance and hits Hipwood on the chest, whereas Viney looks surprised he got the ball and just hoofs it around his body for a turnover. Absolutely zero composure for a team that has done it all. Something has gone horribly wrong in the minds of some of our best players since 2021.

    strange game, brissy playing emotional and aggressive and making poor errors. they should be well in front (especially considering the current free kick count) but theyve really messed up. if they controlled themselves better we wouldve probably rolled over and they would win easy, but now there's some fight

    This is the most blatant cheating I’ve ever seen

    Play the percentages there

    As bad as the umpires are, we're still our own worst enemy.

    Lions are [censored] dirty. Punching our players if they take a mark on them. Should be done for striking.

    I might be crazy but we look the better team. They're getting free kicks and we're also turning the ball over too much. If we tightwn things up more we should get more isolation forward. But they're at 60% F50 conversion. They don't lose at the Gabba when it's >50%.

    Super strange, if theyd played normally we would have rolled over, they just had to put some fight into us here.

    I’d still like someone in the club - high up - to call the umpires cheats. Cheats or incompetent. Because there’s no other explanation

     

    and for goodwin to call out the lions’ dirty ways in the presser - “they’re dirty c words “

    Not sure why it's not a 50 for Lever when the Brisbane player punched the ball out of his hands eons after taking the mark. "Oh I thought it was touched ump."

    • 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.
