Umpires are a disgrace. Whatever happened to incorrect disposal? Cost a certain goal when that Bulldogs player dropped it.

Now's not the best time to say it but the umpiring is sh!t is every match. It is (or should be) a scandal that the umpiring panel will not direct the umps to referee the game according to the written rules.

 

it became very clear in that half that there is absolutely no point whatsoever playing Rohan Bail, the guy will not be offered a new contract so what is there to be gained by him playing any more in the seniors. Would rather see Stretch or JKH play.

Makes going all out for gun mid in the trading period a cert. Take Tyson and Vanders out and we are crap.
 

[censored] you and [censored] this. I'm out.

First time ever in my entire Melbourne supporting life that I'm leaving at half time


Yep, I've stuck by Roos, but now happy to see him gone. We've seen MFC capable of producing, but too often, the effort is very poor. I'd like to see the coaching position opened up to outsiders at the end of the year.

haha omg

Honestly, if anyone here thinks the umpiring is what deserves comment... Forest and trees people!

Our midfield needs our man goal kicker in it, to get moving. It speaks volumes of the guys paid to be in those positions.

And would it hurt the umps to pay us a free fecking kick.
 

That is the worst I have seen Melbourne play live.

I honestly cannot believe we just played a half that bad, in 2015, with Roos as coach, with 6 wins already, having had a good month.

I hope the journos go hard. We costly have the cattle. You doing beat geelong without talent. It's attitude and desire, game plan and coaching. We're going to lose the young guys if this keeps up.


Didn't take long for Chris Dawes to rediscover his woeful ordinary standards.

We're essentially two men down at the centre taps because Gawn taps to the advantage of the opposition 9 times out of 10 and if the ball somehow ends up in dispute, he doesn't provide a decent enough 2nd effort. I'd put Howe in the ruck.

DONT WORRY ALL PART OF THE AFL GRAND PLAN FOR 2 VICTORIAN TEAMS IN THE TOP 4 also we are crap girls coming out after half time


Honestly, if anyone here thinks the umpiring is what deserves comment... Forest and trees people!

Yes its not the problem but bulldogs get the rub of the green against us everytime. Been happening for years

Gees I'm glad I don't work in the marketing department for the footy club.

Must be bloody hard work.

Roos is angry.

He'll cruise right past that to acceptance soon enough.

We all have.

Its worse than i was expecting, but i aint slitting my wrists just yet. At the point in time the past counts for nothing. We are coming up against a finals bound team on a roll and brimming with confidence. In contrast we have been inconsistent all year and have been vulnerable to teams with quick ball movement. But i expect us to show a lot more in the second half is Roos is worth his said pay package.


It's pointless. It's all so bloody pointless.

I honestly cannot believe we just played a half that bad, in 2015, with Roos as coach, with 6 wins already, having had a good month.

But we keep doing it. The only game Essendon have won in their last 11 is against us. That was the most unwatchable ugly game of footy I have seen.

And now we serve up this Auskick training video ("How not to ...")

Dogs are bloody amazing story though.

Lost their captain, brownlow medallist, coach and CEO all at the end of last year.

Now look at them.

 

Are we this far off the pace of top afl sides....

Q: What's the worst thing that can happen to you as a melbourne player?

A: have the words "All-australian" used in a sentence to describe your form early in the season. T-Mac has been Melbournised the longer the season has gone on and has now resumed his former self. I knew it was too good to be true. Just waiting for it to happen to Jesse and Angus.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
