    Lewis is right. Waste of time this pushing and shoving. Get in the rooms and work out how to dominate the 2nd half. We should be way in front

    Can't understand you guys. Previous Game Day threads have given a ball-by-ball description for those without vision. This is just one big WHINGE fest. I'm going elsewhere.

    The worst part about all this is the total and systemic lack of accountability for umpiring

    my dad was opining that the afl was ruining the game along with the flouro magotieres and I was apathetic but now I see it

    Geez it would be nice if the boys could lower their eyes when we go i50 ffs  

     

     

    Intensity, great.

    Delivery and efficiency inside 50, woeful.

    I keep hearing we play a finals brand of football, but we need to see how we are going to kick goals against good teams.

    Seriously, how can you have a block in a one on one?

     

    that maggot should be sacked

    That was a disgrace, but then followed with allowing them to play on, when everyone stopped ,after calling back 3 of our play ons. 

    Pathetic. 

    One goal taken off us and then onee given to them.

    That absolute clown 15 has influenced this game. The soft “I thought it was a mark” to Wingard, the mind numbing free kick and 50 against Melky. Then the cautious response to the next “advantage” free to Port. I loathe that bald streak of you know what! Dare I say up there with Razor. It is all about him!

    Melksham was being held?????????

     

    That's right, he was being held

    this has been a transmission from Emporer Gil


    Is it just me or is Hogan really out of touch and being just a passenger tonight. Might need to go back down to the VFL and ragdoll a few seconds players to get some confidence back.

    I hope channel seven release their figures for the number of viewers who turned off at half time due to the boring low-scoring footy.

    regardless of the umpiring we have a lot of players not doing anywhere near enough especially in the forward line. These guys need to put their bodies in and need to chase and tackle. i wouldnt mind if they tried to kick a few goals as well. We are keeping port in this game, with the sheer weight of inside 50's we should be miles a head at the moment we are damn lucky to be in the lead.

    if these guys want to play finals they need to go out and prove it and not just leave it to Viney and others

     

    God Ling doesn’t miss a chance of hang it on us. 

    Such a [censored] commentator and actually worse than BT.

    Bloody hell, hard task master. One and a half quiet games for a player on track for AA and you want to give him the punt.

    in all seriousness, tonight is the exact night I want to see some of those big contested marks from him we saw in his first year.

    Pretty drunk watching this game so take this for a grain of salt but Jones looks pretty bad and viney looks like he is really making an effort. 

    What happened with the mellsham goal?

    • 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.
