Gee Heeney is good

    I think lever could be the weak link today. He’s very rusty

    Umpires have done it now

    They have made Melksham mad.

    Happy with the pressure but too many dodgy handballs without looking and putting players under the pump.

    I like the transition but need to be smarter.

    Spargo needs to get his [censored] into gear. He is lucky to be in this team.

    Anyway. Good pressure that qtr. did some good things but gave them two goals with poor defending. Both on lever.

    Yep. I agree.

    Like the move of rivers on heeney, melksham looks good up forward and max is max.

    But we've had the double amount of scoring shots & only 8 points up.

    Turner done a few nice things down back

    What's a "Naarm beanie"?

    Spargo out, Sestan in?


    incredible tackling pressure, turner incredible, gawn great, solid work at stoppage, and that definitely should have been a free against lever but shush

    Interesting football.

    Big packs forming, lots of close checking when the ball is in the same area for a moment, both sides sending heavy numbers to the ball, and then whoosh when it gets loose there is often a lot of space and distance covered.

    The only pack bigger than the ones on the ball is the one of people trying to chew Spargo's liver out.

    Grundy doing well too.

    Oliver getting his hands on it.

    Maybe need a little more from Tracc in his 200 but he will storm home.

    Was Kozzie benched after that goal....he disappeared in the last ten?

    Spargo struggling.

    Who is the sub?

    Oliver's hands aren't what they once were but I still think that was his best quarter of the year

    7 tackles good stuff

    • 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.
