GAMEDAY - Round 17

What the hell has happened to our inside contested ball work. Our pressure is non existent. Teams just waltz away from pack situations against us.

We won a free kick in our defence so do you know what would be a good idea, not to kick it to a three on one. But of course we’re Melbourne so.....

That's why frost wasn't getting games.

It's amazing how often I see Oscar McDonald 50cm away as a bloke takes a mark. His obsession with his man is unhealthy. He gets dragged up the ground too often, and doesn't leave his man to impact the contest in d50 when he should.

That is true to an extent chook.  He needs to impact more often at the drop and take a few more risks off his man and back himself.

Just now, leave it to deever said:

Smashing us in clearances.

Disposals, I50's.. pressure, intensity etc etc.

Still reckon he adds more than he takes away. Jetta and Frost our best 2 defenders this half IMO.

Players either guarding space or two or more players tackling one means teams can just waltz away from packs. No trust in this team.


Another Goodwin move. Bring in Hannan who has done SFA all year for Viney when you have Tyson, who all year you have refused to play in his rightful spot as an inside mid. 

Honestly this coach and this team are infuriating. 

Good lord this has St Kilda game written all over it..

They beating us to the ball and their young kids are just running around us with ease. 

Again Oscar making an average player look like Wayne Carey.

[censored] off Lewis!

Wheres Jones? Need the the captain to step up!

Ordinary first half.

Absolute Garbage,

i don’t care if we come out and win by 60 points , we are still a [censored] football side 

We’re a stupid football side. Basic errors costing us. 

I don’t like our chances if it ends up being a close one. 

We don’t seem to be able to play the mcg. We are slow and bomb it in. They are fast and the forward line is open. Surely we need to adapt.


1. Midfielders are getting absolutely smashed. Jones' defensive awareness is embarrassing. 

2. JKH is a liability.

3. Garlett will never learn and doesn't apply enough pressure.

4. We kick to contested areas and allow Footscray to waltz it out.

5. If the Dogs start clunking their marks, we are due for heartbreak.

6. We continue, week in and week out, play into the opposition's hands when going forward.

7. We rarely if ever have loose players to kick the ball too in transition.

Goodwin needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat if we’re gonna win this. Very similar game styles and the Dogs looking more composed leaving the contest.

On the wing was a free to Gawn, chopping the arms after he grabbed it.

JKH is not up to it at AFL level, doesn’t think.

JKH career over.

Kicking to too many outnumbered contests.

Our disposal by hand and foot is putrid today.

same mistakes, different week. Are they being coached?

We are the easiest team to beat. 

Pathetic. 

 

Seen much of Carlton this year Jaded?


Sam Frost. Runs back to the goal and leaves Schache free: goal. Kicks to Gawn but in a 1 on 3. Johannisen clears, goal. 

If we lose this (possible), it'll be because of events like the above - and not only Frost. Just too many turnovers and sloppy disposals.

Have we hit 100 turnovers yet . 

Disgraceful disposal.

Being smashed in clearence doesnt help either.. 

 

We are going to need re-sleeving after we play Geelong next week.

we're def not looking like the better side. Their attacking thrusts look far faster and more dangerous. Sadly, I think we're going down here. We could lose this by 6 goals

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
