Every one except the selectors - what's wrong wither giving Trenners a go.

Couldn't agree more. If nothing else he would be match fit. 

 

They are very disciplined defensively and Curnow and Casboult with Silvagni as a third mobile tall is a very solid forward structure 

We were much better that quarter but hard not to be given our poor first

Need to stop their easy sweeps from half forward to half back and nullify Kruezer and Gibbs in the second half

T Mac looks like a natural forward

Looks like they have a couple down....we will see if they come back. Hopefully some of our down players can lift

Trac takes a while to fire up and always finishes hard and strong. May dominate the centre from now on. Cripps out

I like the kid, but so far I have to agree.  Makes you wonder if JFK and Kennedy did something really wrong beyond what Kent did.  I've thought Kent has been ok, but was very supprised Kenedy didn't get the nod.  

...let's see what Smithy can do in the second half.

Bit harsh on JFK.  Poor bloke never saw it coming.

Curnow is towelling up Joel Smith. He looks like Buddy out there.

Very underdone - IMO rushed back in but will still trust the match committee

Cripps and white are out.

 

 

Joel Smith struggling but also Jayden Hunt not playing great. He's struggled since the concussion 3-4 weeks back. He's just not providing the same run and defensive intensity we're used to from him. Thank god for Hibberd and Jetta!

Eventually the question is gonna need to be asked about whether T Mac just stays forward now. He's killing it.

I bet Jessy Hogan is envious of his ability to win free kicks.  Turning the tables on that from his time in defense and playing smart.

Need to take advantage of Carlton probably 2 players down. Much better because we didn't handpass as much. 

Gee we better win because I have some annoying Carlton fans near me. 

They are all annoying. Lol !!!

We could be 10 goals up and you muppets would still whine about something.

I don't think so. 

Pretty silly comment really

Please leave Brian and Leigh to comment on all of Melb games. I save so much money and have lovely peace when i turn the sound off.

In case anyone has a beef with the umpires, the free kick count at half time is 12 - 7 in our favour.

I still have a beef with them -- stats don't tell the full story

From the king of silly comments, I'll take that as a compliment. :)


What the hell is wrong with Leigh Matthews left eye? Busted blood vessel? Looks crook.

It is not the count, it is the decisions.  In which other game, ever, would the bump by ANB in the middle EVER has resulted in a free kick downfield?

Have been more even in the second Q.

Cripps and White out for the game. 2 players down. Must win now.

Both from collisions with Jayden Hunt?

  • 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.

    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.
