Wash your mouth out with soap and water!!

You really have to feel for the Geelong Blonde Hair Band Fairies

Naaaaah

 

Good game but the Saints stopped to a walk.  Did well to hang on in the end

Crazy good game to watch as a neutral

 

Amazing brave mark from the young Irish kid O'Connell - probably saved the game


Saints played red time nicely and up till about the 5 - 8 minute mark of the final Q they were consistently lowering their vision and looking to hit up the short / 45 targets including when they were coming i50.

Looks like they're starting to play the way Ross is training them.  Kudos to him and their list on that win tonight.  Nights like this can sometimes make or break a club's season.

A long way to go but a very impressive win.

zac jones is a very average player

You have to be joking… he played a great game today… kicking leaves a lot to be desired, but his pressure and ball distribution by hand was excellent.

Super gutsy.  Wilkie was fab especially his 3rd Q.

Wood, Marshall, Owens, Jones, Higgens, Windhager, Hill among others.

You were neutral? I was definitely on the Saints haha. The Irish kid did them proud and a few others, heart tonight was ace. Marshall was Max like. And god was I nervous with the Cats back line marking everything.

The defense (Fox panel) is already pleading Dangers case. No Stewart helps us in a few weeks.

The best game I've seen him play.

Funny game footy. Like tennis, matchups is just a weird concept and thing to wrap your head around

In tennis, Fabrice Santoro holds a h2h 7-2 against Safin and on the women’s side, Sharapova during their era is the second best player on tour mostly and still 2-20

Footy ain’t much different. We have an underrated rivalry with GWS, GWS matches up well with the Pies but our record against Collingwood has been horrendous during the Goodwin era.

Not to mention the hilarity of Pies fans trying to downplay our ‘21 flag by saying they were the only team to have our measure. Didn’t a lowly Hawthorn (their bogey team) beat them in their flag year?  

Now, no disrespect to them, but St Kilda beat Geelong, but will anyone be surprised if they came out and lost to Richmond?

Zac Jones made some howler decisions but no doubt about he goes at it hard.

I've never wanted the lions and Hawks to win so much in my life.

I would be absolutely flabbergasted if St Kilda lose to Richmond next week on their turf.

St Kilda are a different team at Marvel.

The AFL is a mess of contradictions but I find it extremely odd that they have round zero in an alleged attempt to draw interest in the NRL heartland but don’t seem at all concerned about having no and/or very few FTA Saturday night games in NRL heartland. I think they are really under estimating how much of an advantage that blanket Friday, Saturday, Sunday coverage gave them.

Agree with you but I dont mind bucks. As for the other nuff nuff I would rather go thru several root canals than listen to him.

  • 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.
