Hard to see from here. They have class all over the field.

Maxy first hands but mark paid to Jesse

Think Tmac got blocked off the ball so Hogan had a free run.

    Credit to Gws.

    They have got numbers back into our fwd line all night and rarely have we had space there.

    That quarter was lost off our own clangers.

    Handballs to non existent players.

    Ball spent before control.

    Hospital handballs.

    Manic decisions to play on when not appropriate.

    I thought this was our best fwd line fielded tonight.

    Jvr hasn't fired. Fritta Ditto. Kozzie no goals. Bring on Turner.

    Wake up Goody. It's not working mate. What are you doing?

    GWS look a class above. Clean, great ball handling, moving it quickly and hitting targets.

    They're moving the ball fast and too the outside

     

    If we can't combat that we will lose

     

    A lot of players have gone missing particularly our fwd line

    Billing’s and Laurie shouldn’t be picked, they’re not AFL standard, we cannot continue to carry players like these two.

    We should win. GWS started too late. They’ll drop off this quarter. They needed to capitalize better that quarter. We really should be able to simply stream roll them in the last. Briggs also injured won’t help.

    Well you’ve convinced me!



    It’s up to us. GWS have stepped it up since Q1 and we haven’t had an answer. Their skills have been much better and have maintained intensity. 

    We will need to be much better, for the whole quarter to win this. 

    As has been the case all year with this team, we certainly can, but will we? Which team will turn up in the last?

    Let’s go boys, win this and we’re back in the 8 to launch at the final 4 games. 

    Their ball movement is better but we're working hard and bringing the heat. No reason why we can;t win

    • 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.
