Only thing is, has a full pre-season to be ready again.

This night doesn't want to end.

Or a knee.

    I can think of three instances over the last 4 or 5 years where play has been stopped and Melbourne has featured in all of them.

    WCE v Dees in 2021, BL v Dees 2023, and now I believe.

    Careful with facts and rational thought process it’s not in style atm 

    Ah... I thought this was a post match thread. I forgot it's the game day thread. 

    Yeah, [censored] it. Get rid of him too.

    We always cop the lightning game

    Hopefully it has broken some sort of curse.

    The only thing I can take out of tonight.

    I'am starting to grow very tired of the regime right at the top from Roffey, Pert, Richardson and Goodwin.

    "Play the youngsters"-  How about we do it next year in key defence too?

    TMAC should retire and let a kid come through. dont care how good he's been, last few weeks have been pretty poor. Play Petty or Turner 

    Trade Salem, soft and overated the last couple of years.

    What a sad, embarrassing way to end the season. Barely fired a shot.

    I'll probably cop flack for this but I think we should seriously entertain the idea of trading Fritsch.

    I'm 100% with you. Big sook who likes to get the ball in the open by himself. Has skills but no gumption at all. Let the scribes have a go at both of us.

    I just hope our defence holds up with two key defenders using walking frames

     

    I’m sitting here with electricity on watching the TV

     

    Weak p-r-i-c-k-s. 
     

    I ain’t worried.

    They spread so much better than we do. They spread like butter left out on the bench on a warm day. We're butter coming straight out of the fridge.

    And they use a knife. We use our fingers then try to mark the ball or miss tackles.

    [censored] me I played in lighting storms in under 12’s. Play on FFS

    In the extremely rare instance of a lighting strike it would hit the top of the stadium or the goal posts

    Whilst he is soft he has talent though, but the reality is he's a third forward not a main guy, if you can improve the forward line he will be more dangerous.

    I just don't think we are in a position with the list to lose both Tomlinson and TMac.

    Even if TMac is only depth next year. We need quality tall position players.

    There is plenty of other players in front of the exit queue.

    Plus he's been excellent tonight in a depleted backline

    T-Mac can hold his head up tonight and most of the season.

    Thommo is depth at best at this point and the ability to step up to AFL level and have an impact may have gone past him now.

    Fritsch and ANB for Rachele and a second rounder

    I’d do it but I seriously doubt Port would.

    Sorry but I had to call it a day. I can’t no more.

    Call it off now, give them the points and we'll be able to hear them whinge because they were robbed of a chance of a 100 point win. Lovely.

    Me too, but it has little to do with our failure to function tonight.

    I hope Crisp does his hamstring of the bone or a knee after the lightning.

    Doesn't deserve Jimmy's record the scumbag.

    Why? He has been a good player for a long time. Maybe not as good as Jimma but give him a break he has kept at it. Stop having a go at these players who have performed consistently for a long time without injuries.

    Surely the lightning would find the highest point, in which case Max would be in grave danger.

    • 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.
