I think Laurie deserves a little credit, a few good touches under pressure. Hopefully keeps having a dip.

That's his best game for the year and three to go


Good Melbourne and bad GWS have turned up so , I like it. Hope it continues. 

Don't know why there is stickiness under my seat. Not like there was a Tigers game here last night

These chase down push-in-the-backs are rubbish. Before the 1980s, the push in the back rule was almost exclusively for marking or tackling people on the ground. So they didn’t get jumped on with peoples knees etc.
The way it’s interpreted at the moment just doesn’t make any sense. You’re trying to affect the kick. It’s not like it’s causing any lasting damage.

A push in the back has always been a push in the back.
Until Hawkins started doin' it.

 

Why are the [censored] of Twitter obsessed with our crowd numbers. It drives me crazy that it’s a always raised. 
 

it’s rained all day & it currently 7 degrees. Only the nuffiest of nuffs (me) are coming to the game

Yep. I'm not a fan but hasn't really put a foot wrong tonight. Offering more than Sparrow has been lately.

Nervous we'll have lost this lead by half time. Wish there was rain about!


Come out hungry and look organised! 
 

Kingsley will have an answer so let’s hope we keep on top of our game 

Chin seems to be playing high half forward and looks like a midfielder with poise

He would have 100 less goals if that rule was applied equally 

Rivers getting a presence about him

We look for him now

Has star written all over him

Gotta blame the team IMO.
It's a matter of trust.
Supporters don't know if the players will turn up or not ATM.

I tipped this early days.
Kid's a gun.

The players see really playing for each other tonight. 

Off the ball when we do something good, players are applauding, goody is giving encouragement when they come off &  they're encouraging each other

  • 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.
