Don't want to nitpick and it probably won't matter if we lose, but I like to tape the Foxtel replay of the game as it uses less space on the storage guide. Live is much more than the replay without breaks. I noticed we are only on replay once the whole week at 2.30 AM sunday morning and as well another program is listed at the same time.I can see the recording failing. Other teams like Blues and Dogs etc are replayed 5-6 times that I can see. Why is that?

    If we win, that will be disappointing.

    If we lose, that will be appropriate.

    I would think that it is appropriate.

    TV works on ratin,g that is who will watch.

    Neither us or the Lions have big followings.

    I would not be surprised if the 4th replay of Carlton and Richmond rates better than the first replay of the Dees.

    We simply do not have the followers to watch.

    If we win 7 out of the first 10 it might be different.

    That can't be the case. Sydney v GWS is on many times as is GC v Crows.

    Sydney vs the crows does not count there was nothing else to show.

    And the crows probably have more members / supporters than the Dees and Brisbane.

    AS well as that the SA supporters are nuts they probably watch the game mutiply time as they think the result might change.

    After watching this match, it's easy to have the opinion that our players have not been developed in a manner that should have had us well and truly entrenched in the top 6 teams by now.

    Our team is 80% senior players in this match. Experienced players are so much more important that we knew.

    Amazing how the game changes so quickly nowadays. Flicked over by luck didnt realise the game was on.

    A completely different looking Melbourne side that day. For starters, a crowd shot cut to our President and CEO.

    Messrs Gardiner and MacNamee respectively.

    Playing that day that are now departed were (I think):

    Robbo, Wonna, Miller up forward

    McLean, Bruce, Junior, White onball

    Carroll, Bell, Warnock down back, Probably others i missed too.

    A great game to relive!

    Wheatley out there too................great to see that game again.

    How well did Bate play in the second half.

    Robbo and Wonna were awesome in that game, and you McLean was a ball magnet.

    I think I heard the commentators say Jones had 24 touches and got on the end of 4 goals the week before.

      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.
