Hmmm having politically incorrect thoughts, let’s move on. 

A couple of nice fluffy cumulonimbus?

    We are not the Tigers, so there is no point setting up the same way.

    Correct, we are Melbourne, who lose games they should win.

    They were more like us this time last year. Were only just starting to look like a decent team with a game plan and squad many were still questioning. Stuff being copy cats. Just like they chose to lets do it the Melbourne way.

    Isn't it nice to see Tyson retained his spot, thought he was playing his role (whatever that may be of course), good ol' SMTJ said I have no idea and would show that when Tyson was dropped, I wonder if SMTJ has any idea why Tyson wasn't dropped

    @stevethemanjordan

    I was always going to wait until today's result to respond to your post.

    The most humorous part of all of this is your complete lack of understanding of the fact that even AFL coaches get things wrong at times. Whether it's team selections, strategy, game-plan or anything else.

    For the last decade or so you have continued to back whoever was in charge at our club, no matter the result. And you have been made to look silly so many times because of your lack of football knowledge and blind faith in the club. 

    The only thing that I am embarrassed about re Tyson playing this week is the fact that he again had no impact on the game and Goodwin played him on the wing AGAIN.

    Of course you'd wait hero, Tyson had about 17 mates today   or you sheeting the blame on him solely

    Look silly, I don't pick the team, nothing to do with me, experts on here neither

    Drop Garlett

    We need Garlett back

    Great to see Petty get a game, we need another tall

    Petty not up to it

    Drop Vince etc etc etc

    Kings of hindsight, what if we had had a resounding win and Tyson starred, would you have posted then    ??? nah 

    I support MY club, still disappointed with poor defensive effort yesterday, just don't need to beat my chest about it

    It’s weird, but at the moment I’d prefer to play anywhere but the MCG ,where we’ve been playing terribly of late.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
