Increases the chances and currency for Warnock to Carlton

    Something is not right down at Carlton. That is the 5th player to ask to be traded. I understand why younger guys want to jump ship from Brisbane (5-6 requested to leave) being that they are in for some dark years, but the Blues made the finals and are still a top 8 team. Something is really wrong down there, and I think it may have something to do with the coach...

    Must be some sort of competition going on between Vossy and Rats to see who is the most unpopular

    As long as the Dees are tight, I'll just sit back and enjoy it

    Wonder which club will implode next?

    The Blues must see their Window is out of kilter with their list, & seem to be rushing hastily to fix.

    instigated by Thornton apparently

    Not really any worries for them though.

    Thornton is dead wood.

    Griggs is decent but certainly won't be hard to replace

    Walker is injury prone, poor disposal and is on the borderline of there best 22.

    Jacobs is good but is third in line for the ruck.

    Anyone I miss?

    Can anyone think of an AFL player in recent times that has had more goals kicked on them than Brett Thornton?

    Just a general question rather than a criticism because its not entirely Thornton's fault. He has played as key defender since 2002 for a club that has (for the most part) been sitting on the bottom of the ladder. And in that time the Blues have been given some real hidings.

    My brother is a Blues supporter and raised the question with me and I can't think of anybody.

    Your right.

    Depending on what they might gain in exchange it could work in their favour.

    I certainly wish them nothing but failure though.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      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.
