Love the cheer when the guns go up.

Who knew all that "gun shot" practice from Saty would pay off?

    Love the fact the Club arranged the Hulk drop by and love that the players are enjoying themselves so much. I would imagine it is a way better place to be an AFL footballer than a couple of years ago

    Onwards and upwards

    Classic!

    Chris Connolly carrying on about Freo making a play for Hogan stuck in my craw - fuelled by massive sour grapes I would think.

    You seem surprised? I would be more surprised if the number of other clubs chasing his signature is less than 17. Whilst it's still early days, he is something special alright.

    Doesn't come out of contract until the end of 2017, and you can bet like hell that we'd ensure that he sticks around for the entirety of that contract (unlike GWS). When the appropriate time comes, we'll give him a massive offer in both $ and years.

    Fear not chook, this one's a stayer!

    I'm not surprised or particularly worried but galled by Connolly's seeming delight in stirring up trouble.

    This combined with his behaviour when he was with us makes me think he was a white ant in a past life.

    i don't agree, he is still a Melbourne man, but of course free will go hard at hogan, it will be a constant struggle to keep him.

    Chris Connolly is a chubby cretin whose unprofessionalism nearly brought us to our knees. It's no coincidence we started improving once his incompetent arse was shown the door. He is a suburban level jokester with no AFL level traits, substance, or relevance

    Connolly and Schwab - what a comedy duo

    As soon as Freo gave them the chop they became an ultra professional club and a perennial top 4 team.

    We will follow the same path

    I said in all seriousness a while back that he is the no.1 most valuable asset in the comp

    We will have to endure a hellofalot more 'noise' from many clubs until he is signed again

    then again for his 3rd contract

    he's too good

    I love what the club is doing with the players ..... They must have loved it. Will the hulk be at the game.

    Fremantle will make a play for Jesse every year, he's just that good.

    I'm very confident he's a demon at heart now through. And freo are going to be left in tatters by 2017

    Both absolute campaigners.

    Should not be allowed within 5km near the footy club. It does seem we are going down the same path as Freo.

    Oh please He was part of the reason for the Debt Demolition ie saving this club........Spent a huge amount of time organising fund raisers at the Dee's and casey.

    He played his football for Melbourne and Coached Freo into the finals for the first time in their history

    So please enlighten me that he has no AFL level traits, substance or relevance. Yes he may have made some mistakes(Who hasn't) but he put his heart and soul into the Melbourne Footy Club.

    It's so easy to sit behind a keyboard and knock people who have contributed to the club in ways you can only dream of.

    You only show your ignorance.

    This will be deleted soon, as well as my response, but what a ridiculous thing to say.

    You don't know him, and the situation we faced as a club a few years ago cannot simply be laid at the feet of Schwab and CC. They love the club as much as you do.

    And that little aside about the 'jokester' tells me you don't have much against him other than a bad joke that was jumped on by some bitter individuals to grind their axes on, that began the investigation into 2009.

    Freo will need to trade for him if they want him.

    We'll take Fyfe.

    like most things in life the truth probably lies between the two extremes expressed here re Connolly.

    He obviously did some good work for the club but I suspect he carries a chip on his shoulder about not being given the coaching gig and I doubt ever fully supported the coaches who were there during his time.

    I can't understand him buying in to the Hogan/ Freo thing without there being some angst behind it. He was only stating the obvious after all

    If Jesse scores the first goal he should celebrate something like this.

    No we won't

    If he wants to go they'll need to seek a trade. Who would you want?

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      The Demons return home to the MCG in search of their first win for the 2025 Premiership season when they take on the Fremantle Dockers on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
