Early days, but the debutants don't look out of place. 

Liking Jeffo's second efforts.

    I’m going early but Lindsay is going to be a superstar for the Dees.

    And his firsts. I see all the hype now.

    Thanks #Pickettfence.

    Love the jeers for a Gawn free. Shame they miss so many in the ruck. Keefe is undersized and holding in every duel

    Disposal Efficiency. The stat that has haunted us for years still ever-present.

    It’s only one quarter but Jeffo has a lot more presence than what was being advertised. Looks good.

    A bit rusty but not terrible. Take away their goal from Langdons 30m kick backwards that missed the target, we would be in front.

    Oliver's attitude and body language are so hugely improved vs last year. He just looks ready to tear a game apart.

    Onto more important issues. New padded seats to Trident level 2, very nice (and no chewy stuck underneath) but where are the cup holders? Seriously MCG, WTF 😀

    The difference between the two teams is that they can reliably find and hit targets. We can't.

    Great quarter of footy. Loving our new forward philosophy of long bombs only when all other options are closed off. New kids looking good. Both teams squandering easy goal opportunities. Our backs as brilliant as ever. 

    We have to stop their easy possessions when it comes off a pack, and their spread way from that.

    Our pressure, run and intensity on song.

    Yeah is there scope to put these back on?

     

    GWS are a good side. I think we’re going ok, should be in front. Oliver looks sharp, and interested. Gawn a beast, Petracca hasn’t lost a step, and Lindsay looks impressive.

      The Demons head to the Red Centre to face St Kilda in Alice Springs, aiming for a third straight win to keep their push for a Top 8 spot alive. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
