MELBOURNE legend Brian Dixon has branded the Demons' effort against West Coast 'insipid' after the Eagles cruised to a 54-point win at Patersons Stadium on Thursday night.

"It was very, very discouraging after all of the hype about how good Melbourne was going to be with all the young players. There definitely needs to be a shake up at Melbourne.

"The board has to address those problems. They're not just going to go away of their own accord.

As Ron Barassi used to say 'If it is to be, it's up to me'. Each person has to feel that

It seems that at least some acknolwedge where this club has gone and where it may end up if action isnt forthcoming to address the problem

The article is a good read and I dont believe Brian pulls any punches except he doesnt call for the sacking of Bailey which is what most supporters seem to believe is warrented

My Opinion: Will Melbourne pull itself out of the hole it has dug for itself??

A win next week isnt good enough even if it happens, it has to be the continuing performence from here on in

No more capitulations each game has to be fought right out to its bitter end even if we are loosing

We as supporters should demand nothing less.

And should that occur, it may be the only thing that could possibly save Bailey from the axe come end of season!

Absolutely...If Dean Bailey can pull this one around he keeps his job...no problem with that at all.

Now does he have the Balls or the knowledge to do it.

When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
