I'd love top 4, but I'll take top 8 and winning 1 or 2 finals. Particularly if Trac doesn't get back. It's intriguing that he isn't listed as out for the season, but out indefinitely.

From a media report on the evening of 28th September 2024:

"Melbourne took Sydney by surprise with the unexpected late inclusion of Christian Petracca, who spent the entire game in the goal square and whose match winning ten goals earned him a second Norm Smith Medal."

His aerobic fitness should be medically tested for science

They interviewed him after the game on Channel 7 and on Melbourne FC, and he looked like he'd just got back from a walk around the block when in fact he had just finished a game of footy having run almost 2km further than the next bloke. Absolute freak, and immense weapon for us when we use him this way (100% game time off the far wing running goalpost to goalpost).

What an awesome, gritty and determined win by the MFC. 

Welcome back Clarry. 

Welcome back Fritta  

Goody I’m not a huge fan but well done.  Credit where it’s due. 

Now rinse and repeat against Freo next week. 

GO DEES 

Yep yep and yep

I think many are undervaluin the return of Milky... his footy is silky ;)

I find it somewhat ironic that it all 'clicked' ...in the rain !! 

May it belt down for all the rest of our games :)

Explain this to me Nathan Willamson. How is this not the purest 50 metre penalty you’ve ever seen?

The umpiring in the last quarter is currently like watching a different game.

100%. Shocking to just ignore the ball being flung away carelessly not back to the opponent as per the rules. Could've helped us lock it further up field in the dying moment too etc. The umpiring in the last quarter was disgracefully biased towards Essendon. Was akin to match fixing.

It won’t get a mention because we won but if we had lost this should be getting the same level of attention as the NM- Collingwood non-50.

I cannot fathom any reason for the umpire not to pay this.

Because Nathan Williamson is more worried about getting his 90s boy band hair on tv than being an actually good umpire who makes consistent logical decisions. 
The fact that I know his name and number means he’s a rubbish umpire.

He is honestly one of the best athletes that's played the game. Get him to the Olympics to run the track events but bring him back for Melb games, probably won't even break a sweat.

Terrific win. I’m glad I went to the game in the end even if it was with a Bombers supporter mate.

I know we conceded the last 4 but it didn’t really feel like a 7 goal win, more like a 5 goal win so to give up 2 more than that is only a slight disappointment.

Oliver, Windsor, Rivers, McVee, Turner, JVR all huge. I thought it was a really even performance. Petty got smashed in the ruck and wasn’t great up forward but I think we need him for next week to occupy Freo’s defence.

How true.

Seriously think we would have won a flag and be second possies right now had he not gone down last year before finals.

Well we found out that Goodwin has a plan B, we can play in the wet and our contest game is still one of the best in the game.

Kozzie, Riv and Langdon were simply superb. Roo was great, Windsor, McVee and even Tholstrup were relentless and provided spark and excitement as did AMW

Disco is a great kick, TMac is solid and Melk is just a brilliant competitor. Oliver started to show glimpses of his old self and Nibbler shut down their Captain. May was back to being a rock

We are forming a strong belief at the right time of the season and despite Gawn and Petracca, are relatively healthy.

 A tough few weeks ahead but we are in with a shot.

Can you afford an Avo for each remaining game ?  Be well spent ;)

Avos are reserved for Essendon only. $50 - $80 for Collingwood (depending on level of hate at the time) and $20 for all others. 👍🏽

Funny you should mention his hair, Jaded. Ryan, our awesome chant-leader, was told by security at a match earlier this year that Williamson had officially complained about Ryan calling him “Haircut.” 😂 Ryan has been pulled up on many occasions for ‘umpire abuse’ something we’re forbidden to do. It’s due to the usual non-complimentary descriptions, but never something like “Haircut” 😅😅😅

If he complained about that, I can imagine his displeasure at some of the lovely things I was telling him to do last night. 

Fritta doesn't need to dominate games.

Often comes in with a purple patch or two and kicks three.

I really hope you don't have to work today WCW.

Work???? I’m lucky just to be walking around today. I’m sore all over and bruised in the weirdest places, from freezing my saturated @zz off and wielding heavy wet props with zero feeling in my purple hands, dancing to our awesome drum (played by a 10yo boy, mind you) jumping around with same-level nuffies, falling over and falling off (kids- never stand on wet slippery seats no matter how excited you are) and the long walk home coz I missed the last bus. But you know what??!! I WOULDN’T CHANGE A FREAKING THING.

Beating Essendon is worth every bruise, every sore muscle, and frostbitten toes. 😁🥳🕺🪩🥰

Same umpire who paid that horrible deliberate out of bounds and the throw against McDonald.

Frittas hair much better than his 😎

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
