Norf will cop a flogging - no game plan from what I can see. Turnovers galore.

    And it's not round 1 of the season?!

    Luke Parker has 14 disposals after 17 minutes . Has Firrito targeted anyone yet? Wouldn't have the guts to target a swans players. Just goes after the young players.

    In olden times it used to happen quite often.

    It's like hearing an old song you haven't heard for decades ... "oh yes ... I remember how this one goes!"

    Norf will be doing no damage whatsoever in the finals. Get out of our spot you turkeys.

    I have no faith in GWS in r23. Not getting overly excited with Sydney playing well here. This is the beginning 5% that needs to go right

    Exactly, I hope the boys are just looking at tomorrows game and not getting ahead of themselves. Im sure Roosy has told them.

    I agree pman they look spent at this stage. 

    All we need to do is win and hopefully they lose by enough so that our % is high enough to go through. 

    Simple really!!

    Of all the weeks for Dick [censored] Santo to crank it up. Lift in Q2 Sydney, top spot is up for grabs here!

    It's pointless turning up tomorrow if Norf win.

    How's the bloke in the crowd with the big old Afro and the half Swannies half Roos jumper?!

    Probably just another totally confused Melbourne supporter....

    Ultimately, if we don't beat Carlton, we don't deserve to play finals anyway. Whatever the outcome from this weekend (or next), the right team will make the 8.

    If North can defeat Sydney or GWS, they probably deserve to cement their spot (despite hating the wankers with a burning passion hotter than the sun).

    If Melbourne can't defeat Carlton after their second half to the year, we clearly aren't mature enough to make an impact in finals footy.

    Is this game being played on a wet ground?

    It dead set looks like its a slow mo replay.

    I reckon Norf will win this and it's all over. Like I need more reasons to loath this club!

    Hope the Tigers beat the Saints.

    Saints can mathematically still make the finals, even though its not being taken seriously.  All they need is to win the next two by big margins (vs Tigers, Lions), and North to lose both by big margins (vs Sydney, GWS) and for us to lose one of the next two.

    If they [censored] the Tigers today by a huge margin they will be up and about ...shudder.

    If the Saints beat the Tigers say 100-60 and the Lions 120-50 that makes their percentage 97.8. If North lose to the Swans 80-100 and to GWS by the same margin, their percentage is 105.5. That tells me that unless all four games are 100-point floggings in the Saints favour, there is no hope of them making up the percentage gap on North.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
