Today's loss was shocking....

Go and live their mate, please. I believe the dollar is good as well.

Nah not even interested in traveling there but the country does have some redeeming qualities, NFL being one, southern blues being another.

One thing I will never come to grips with is how a nil all draw is a "good" result.

Because it's a game that puts an emphasis on defence. Good defending should be appreciated just as much as good attacking play and is in fact more important. Same philosophy to why Melbourne is chasing Ross Lyon.

If you can keep a clean sheet you always give yourself a chance to win the game. And it's pretty hard to get beaten if you don't concede a goal!

Of course a 0-0 can be a good scoreline. If Fulham play away to Chelsea and get a 0-0, it's a fantastic result for them.

If I said to you Melbourne drew a low scoring game with Geelong, you'd be thinking it was a great result too.

0-0 is not always about failing to score, it is also about preventing the other team from scoring.

Sorta like having a glass 50% full of Kool-Aid and saying it is neither half full nor half empty but I'll drink it anyway

What ever floats your boat

Nah it's not like that at all. Terrible analogy.

I thought the loss was just terrible. People keep finding positives. I am so sick of always trying to find positives in loses. We've been losing for 50 years.

Tell me about, it a loss is a loss is a loss

0-0 after 90 minutes plus extra time promotes violence in the streets later on i can assure you.

I can watch the odd game of soccer, but i thank the God of chance quite regularly for allowing me to be born in the city of Melbourne, just so i could grow up with the greatest game of all....Australian Football.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
