Have you noticed the best defender in the AFL, there’s a reason 

Only asking cos he spent 10mins on the bench …

not about his performance, more about his fitness/injury P s D

Injury

Petty strong down back. one of the few taking marks

Gawn excellent 

Lindsay unbelievable first game 

Trac amazing impact

Forward line struggling as usual. 

A tall fwd should come off for Langford asap

     Today’s new rule. Wait for player to leave the ground and get replacement on while game the is stopped.

    • Angry 1

    At one point I actually started calling out "Oh, come on, be more lucky!"

    Football is back.

     

    Seeing Petracca, Oliver and Bowey looking energetic and involved has warmed my heart almost as much as seeing so many kids putting in respectable first-up efforts. Even Aidan Johnson, who is almost statless, is putting himself in there and doing some bodywork that could prove very important as Gawn starts to overwhelm Keeffe late in the game.

    Its a very tight game. I'd argue we are behind by exactly as much as one 'blowing out of cobwebs' for a first game of the season.

    Toby Greene still a cheat, so some things don't change.

    Comments that Viney looks sore does suggest a natural sub option for Langford to come in and hit hard.


     

    You absolute beauty 

    Bring it on Dees.

    Just when you give a man a serve.

    I should do it more often.

     

    Alright if we kick like 5 in a row we're either gonna really love or really hate the Irish. 


    I seen a player wearing #2 do that many times during my childhood in the 80’s.

    If Windsor is half as good, wow

    • 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.
