Game Day: Melbourne v Essendon

Featured Replies

Jack Grimes is amazing.

Morton has done some nice things. We've missed some absolute sitters, Maric and Martin, pretty sloppy match in general though. Sylvia has been pretty good, Jurrah quiet.

 

Daniel bell bobs up with a goal 33 - 53

 

daniel bell just kicked one according to twitter

Bell goal from 50. Mcveigh gets one back. We've started pretty well

Great centre clearance from Grimes which resulted in a goal to Petterd – Dees 5.9.39 to Ess 9.5.59

Oh yeah, love the sound of that!

Goal to the Bummers

Grimes 40 out on the left being tackled GOAL! Best on for us easily. Umpires are mongrels and our point kick ins are disgusting.

Sounds better than last week - at least we are more competitive. Sounds like Grimes is BOG for us and Sylvia is playing well. This off only Twitter updates though, I'm not at the game.


Good Lord we may have won our first quarter for the year......

Well this is positive reading! Sounds like they are having a decent crack which is what we all wanted. From the sounds of some of the missed shots early, we could have been a lot closer too!!

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
