Game night thread: Melbourne v Hawthorn

Featured Replies

 

Bennell is looking good so far

 

i guess the AFL hasnt changed its stance on players ducking when there tackled jones penalised when player clearly dropped when tackled

Clark doing very nicely - 2 goals already.


He's off! - we're tanking!

Players always go off after a goal... nothing new there (and I do realise you are joking... I hope).

But the umpires are doing poorly with their recent rulings... Hawks player ducks and gets a free, then McKenzie slides into a player and no action taken.

Yeh....I was :)


Some good signs that quarter. Didn't know that Magner could mark that well.

Nor did he :-)

Hate Matthews...very reluctant to give Mitch credit....SHOVE IT UP EM MITCHY!!!!!!

Loving the awkwardness of Mathews having to commentate on this....and everyone else saying how well Clark is doing. Classic.

Fitzpatrick has certainly come on in leaps and bounds... he's having a real go out there tonight and has been quite effective.

You watchin Wallsy!!


Luke Darcy keeps saying "Trengrove" on Triple M. FMD.

Luke Darcy is a total dick.

Hate Matthews...very reluctant to give Mitch credit....SHOVE IT UP EM MITCHY!!!!!!

And Mathews is eating his own words...very, very slowly and only acknowleging Mitch's last 2 weeks.

How awesome is it having Leigh Matthews commentating with Clark kicking 3 goals in a quarter?

If only we had Hudson...

His smother was great. I'd like to see him go for marks with a bit more confidence. At the moment he goes in and looks like he's just trying to make a contest but doesn't actually believe that he can bring down the mark.

Matthews is such a stubborn old pr!ck! Mitch is killing it, however shcoenmakers is a terrible defender.

    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.
