Never known a side like us to blow a good lead. We are incapable of playing 4 quarters. Billing’s continues to disappoint.

You didn't see last night's game? It happens, momentum is huge in the modern game.

    Lucky they butchered a certain goal

    they were a kick away from a GF last year 

    Because of shoddy umpiring against Pies of course.

    Windsor's 1 percenters are incredible for a first year player.

    If he doesn't win the rising star, there's something wrong with our game.

    8 tackles, 5 disposals. 

    GW$ are a very good team - they weren’t going to lie down after QT. 

    Anb is a great barometer for us. His disposals are well down. Yes he always tackles well but they are not having much impact. Is he playing a tagging role?

    In any event it's rare for him to only have five touches.

    Oliver is back to his best but he needs some help.

    In the first quarter our pressure was off the charts and we were first to the ball.

    In the last it was constant catch up .

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Bailey Laurie? Haven’t seen much from him

    He started strong, I’ve just seen gaping holes in the zone where he is. 

    Astounding that after so many years we aren't instructing Kozzy (when he's 40+ out and rarely makes the distance) to either find a short target OR HB to a player coming from behind who can.

    They made a prelim and should have won it last year if not for umpire corruption 

    umpire and / or AFL

    AMW also is applying great pressure and showing composure in his first few games.

    I think he's not bad from 40 plus out.

    If we get this Oliver back next year, and Trac at full health, we're back in business.

    Time to get Turner on IMO.

    • 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.
