David King is obviously either on the Bombers tonight or has the [censored] up because his little mate Cornes is banned by the Roos. Unbelievably biased.

 

Tomorrow night's game looks rubbish so I thought I would watch tonight's game instead. At the least I thought two evenly matched teams who might have a real crack at each other. Essendon are showing some intensity but North look like us rounds 2-5. Their method and skills coming off half back are simply sub standard.

Everything Bummers is to be despised and there is nothing appealing about North's game style. Waste of a Thursday night really.

 

Poor Harrison Jones. That was horrible.

Wasn't it! His ankle seems to have just folded underneath him.

I might be overly critical by it seems to take forever for the medical staff to respond to these serious injuries. He was on the ground for a long long time

do they have any other key fwds or rucks left apart from slim shady?

During the week I found it genuinely amusing any time I ad flicked past claiming that tonight's game was a major contest between two big rivals.

Essendon v North is the clear 'who cares' game of the round.

Even Demons v Eagles can we watched with an edge of 'will the Eagles break through and send the Demons back into crisis, or will the Demons continue the grinding turnaround of their season.'

But this...

EXCITEMENT: Can Essendon continue their 12-game streak of being between 9th and 16th on the ladder? Only a low-margin win can keep them safe!

North don’t know how to win…unless they’re playing us 😂


LOL. What a terrible game of football. North at least hitting some form with back to back honourable losses.

Also not sure what the hell happened when the ump called a few kick to north then changed it to a ball up after hearing something in the ear piece .wtf never seen that happen

I don't watch too many non-Melb games. These two teams are absolute garbage

Terrible umpiring and a low quality boring scrap.

And both of them beat us.

He is dreadful...but so iare most of the other so called expert commentators.

They just barrack, pump players up and drag teams down and tell us what we already know.

How about some insight into thregame.

Zac Merret is a star.

I didn't know that.

Thanks Kingy that was great insight mate.

What the hell was the decision made by the official into the ear piece of the umpire by the way?

Play on, with that shot on goal was not 30 seconds

It was 34 secs from mark being paid to being told to play on. Just double checked on kayo

Thank goodness I was at work & missed the game. But I just watched the last 2 minutes.

I get it was the nths player 1st game but surely you're aware of the clock running down.

That's also where a simpkin or larkey should have come over to him to settle his nerves & made him aware

  • 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.
