We’re evolving. First year players in Lindsay and Langford start on the wings with Langdon on the interchange…since when?

Lindsay played pretty much the entire game on the Warne Stand side…the new Langdon.

Don’t look at Petty’s low disposal count as a negative, he worked Sydney’s best interceptor in McCartin over all day, a selfless game.

Enjoy a marvelous win all.

    That’s a great team win, still building and still room for improvement but we’re heading in the right direction

    HUGE.

    In reality a demolition job. Should have been 80-100, but for our wasted chances and the swans’ accuracy.

    But it’s all good (mostly - please keep on practicing goalkicking lol) because it’s the best we’ve looked all year I reckon. Bowza, Salo, Clarry, KOZ, so good. I’m missing plenty because guys like Disco were huge out back. Langdon kept on running. Max was important as always.

    We’re in it! Big win next week and we square the ledger, then work towards getting stuck into the pies and building on this momentum, confidence and the genuine happiness they are showing out there. Upwards trajectory continues.

    Go Dees ❤️💙

    Terrific Claz game, and vintage Salo, almost had a stroke when I saw him in the first centre bounce

    Need to find a proper partner in crime for Petty, JVR come on down?

    Sydney is very lucky that wasn't a 20+ goal belting. They were equally as bad as we were good

    Lindsey was absolutely cooked by the last, Works bloody hard and uses it superbly. GUN!

    Windsor and Langford just as exciting!

    Kozzy could've kicked 8+ today. Unreal performance

    Running out of superlatives for Max. Career high tackles today. Keeps finding ways to raise the bar. AJ provided solid relief and set up at least 2/3 goals with clever little tap ons as well.

    Another week of the super sub! Two goals for Sharp in that final quarter.

    Only negatives are that Lever looked rusty on return and Spargo looked pretty ordinary before he was subbed.

    Stats wise he may have had a quiet game but AJ’s pressure and getting a hand to the ball in our f50 resulted in 3 to 4 goals today. Does the dirty work well, just needs to polish other areas

    Tracc’s mum saying “love you, [censored] great win” was gold

    Tracc was being interviewed on fox and Oliver came up and game him a big wet one then Tracc hugged him. Was awesome to see the close bond

    WE ARE BACK (I think).

    GO DEES.

    Fantastic win! I reckon that was our best performance since the time we played Sydney in early 2023. I could tell from the very beginning that we were on. Our pressure was through the roof and we moved the ball with speed and dare. I was worried that our inaccuracy early would hurt us but the exact opposite happened.

    Pickett is a [censored] machine. He's already had two of the best games from a small forward that we've seen this year. Oliver looked as good as he has in two years. He's rediscovered his confidence.

    Also a special shout out to Sharp. He played the ultimate sub game. He had an impact as soon as he came on the field.

    It's always satisfying beating up Sydney like that given all the trouble they used to cause us.

    • 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.
