    Any selection inferences to be drawn, ie who did and didn’t play?

    Bugg played today, as did Hannan and Pedersen.

    The ones who didn't who were named on the Casey interchange on Friday were Hunt, Wagner, Fritsch, Garlett, Vince and Weideman.  I think I've got that right.

    You would expect that Tyson is one inclusion while a few of the ones who didn't play today would be held over as emergencies for Tuesday night.

    Pedo should have been playing for the MFC. Stupid non selection will cost us Tues night.

     We will see how Weed goes. 

    I have it on good authority taht we will make 3 or 4 changes this week.

    If today was a good example of the game plan we are trying to instill across the list then i hope he has a plan B.

    And i'm not saying it was BZ....just saying

    Other than Pedo and Spargo, none of the Melbourne listed players showed much. JKH and some of the others who have been around a few years are pure list cloggers who are being kept around for contractual and emergency injury situations. Further culling of the list is needed as we severely lack class. We have far too few good kicks still after all these years somehow!

    Casey seemed to try hard, but with a crowded forward line struggled to make the most of opportunities when going forward. Exactly the same as the AFL team, and it shows our gameplan does not work and needs to change.

    And speed.......

    I think Weide will play Tuesday,,, and I have the feeling TMC will play the following match against the bummers with Weide back at Casey.

    there's no 'A', yet.   experimenting.  searching for the balance;   How can we have a set plan a or b,,, when we aren't yet settled Re best 22, as regulars.

    Its too soon.

    We will make finals without a real setup.  Just not in stone, yet.

    We lost today's game because we got slaughtered n the ruck. Why we gave away Spencer for King and flip I will never know. They cannot cut it at VFL no  hope at senior level. tigers had 90% of first use. We were always trying to recover.

    Cant really say i thought King was thrashed. I couldn't really see either team getting clean hands on the pill from rucking. It just seemed to me when they got the hand-off (sts) they found more air. They took a while to get going , Toiges ....(sounding familiar ) but they got tbeir defenders eadily plucking cherries and throwing the pill back their end...where..(again...deja vu ) we seemed a tad awkwardly slow.

    Not much good to write home about. Pedersen played a good VFL forward game kicking 5 and clunking some good marks. Spargo showed a bit but thought he would have more zip than he showed today. Hannan was in and out of it. Baker did not impress me nor did any of the others. Worth noting that J Smith, T Smith and Balic as well as Hunt and Stretch did not play. That's a fair chunk of run missing from the side. Dion Johnstone looks a bust, I wonder if at some point they dont swing him back as a small defender before the season is done,

    I liked when Hannan played wing - link man, going forward as needed.  Perhaps this is a role for him to develop into?

    Not a great day at the office.

    5 or 6 unanswered goals for us to start the game and then the Tiges for the rest of that quarter and the second quarter.

    Better second half but we were unable to significantly impact the scoreboard and bridge the gap.

    Hard to say who played well but certainly Pedersen, Spargo and Hannan impacted the game. Was it enough to demand selection...maybe for Pedersen and Hannan... depends how their equivalent plays on Tuesday night.

    Although we lost it was not a thrashing. Overall they were physically stronger and taller.

    I often wonder what coaches/tacticians look for in their VFL teams. Wins are nice but in reality it can come down to where you are with your list building, injuries and how much you spend on your back up players. If there is a worrying factor other than Pedersen (and ignoring this years draftees) no one really put up their hand and said pick me. Much the same can be said about the previous games as well.

    That is spot on gents

    And a big man or two who can take a few crucial clunkers around the ground to hold up play at times and try and wrestle back momentum.

    We also lack a general up forward and down back to hit in hard, finish off some good play (up forward) and a voice out on the ground that lets our less experienced guys know we are in the contest and not going away like we did last week.

    Keilty pretty bummed out after the game, copped a fair wack from the Coach.

    He got to a lot of contests I thought, just needs to make more of an impact.

    I didn't think he had a remarkable day...but youd want to think there was a fair few in line before the coach got to him ;)

    • 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.
