It’s amazing how the hawks find can find fwds

It’s about ball movement so players of average height or speed get space to run onto marks without pressure. And this is a key to it all, they kick straight when they do take a mark within range. It’s revolutionary stuff, we should let Goody and assistants know about this.

Yep he has been pretty average tonight.

How good is Rowell from GC, reminds me of Oliver a couple of years ago, then makes me think how far some have fallen…

Hate to say it, Rowell is a much better player than Clarrie. Would love him at the Dees

far superior kick

yet to win a premiership. 2x aflca awards, 4x b&fs...

How many high free kicks are these hawks gunna get? Drop their shoulder,Leders and throw their heads every possession!!


How many goals from free kicks is that for Hawthorn now, five? A Ginnivan special, drop the knees, get the arm over the shoulder.


Gold Coast has Melbourne 2021 vibes.

Cop that Hawthorn, obnoxious t.urds

Chol gets well held for most of the game, kicks a couple in the last and acts like he's the difference

Same as last week

For a big bloke he avoids physical contests

He is huge. Doesn’t leave anything on the table. The ultimate professional.

May take an interest.

Need a second team with no emotional downside if they win.

GWS v Suns would be a GF for the more cerebral fan.


Re modern umpiring, just wondering was there a one on one contest tonight between a forward & back where the umpires didn’t blow their whistle to pay a free for some minuscule indiscretion? They are killing footy.

Great to see the Sunnies get over free kick Hawthorn.

Next year the afl should put gold coast v Collingwood to start the Sir Doug round.

It would draw a good crowd & I'm sure the locals would love seeing the pies players.

We know they won't do it though

Agree, it was extraordinary. The one to Long against Scrimshaw for example was baffling. And there were plenty more where that came from.

Boundary rider interviews Rowell & Anderson..

"How much did you guys playing juniors together help with your connection?

It seems like you know where the other is all the time?"

Rowell... "i reckon it's all the junior footy we played together"

Boundary rider to Rioli...

"That's eight in a row up here. How good is it playing in the NT!?"

Rioli ... "Yeh really happy, the boys seem to love it up here. That's eight in a row now i think"

  • 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.
