Win the last without injuries.

Then bring on the Swans.

    Bit of a lapse but didn't lose the quarter so I'll take it. Need a strong finish! 

    ANB dreadful turnovers that should be goals.

    Panic merchant.

    Let’s be honest here, we’ve played one good quarter and that’s it. Disappointing. 

    Bring this slop the next 3 weeks and we won’t make finals.

    2 goals to one that quarter... getting worse

    Getting worse or nothing to play for? We've won. We've got an unassailable percentage. We have 3 tough games coming up. Why go for the kill?

    Sloppy. I want to see us put the foot down in the last quarter.

    We need to be sharp to beat the Swans. 


    All well and good to be miles in front and obviously I am happy about that but we need to develop a real killer instinct mentality and should be 100+ in front now.

    Exactly

    The Swannettes will be sore this week

    I’d rather us keep the momentum going and build this percentage than worry about the probability of a potential injury. Foot down. This footy won’t win next 3 weeks. Oliver and Brayshaw freaks as usual

    Goody looks nonplussed in the box late in that quarter.    My armchair emotions are a bit more outlandish.

    They’ve been a rotation down since Q1.

    Look at the end of the day I’ll take an 80+ win with no injuries. That said I hope Goodwin does give it to them a bit, some bizarrely stupid decision making and a massive ease off of pressure. 

    I swear since the seven commentators gave TMac a big pump up of his set shots he’s been 50/50. Really should’ve snared that one from a great mark. 

    Anyway 20min of footy left to leave the suns a mess for next week.

    Unassailable percentage? Cats play Suns and Dockers at home. What do you think they will gain in those games? We are wasting percentage again. Hope we out score them by another 6 or so goals this last quarter. 

    normally would be rapt this far in front at the break but really that   qtr       was pathetic,and           oscar please go home

    It’s not easy playing witches hats for 2 hours. They were lifeless and dead at 1/4 time

    Geelong play Gold Coast in Rd23...in Geelong...186 may be under threat

    Too many want to coast when presented with an easy win. Why is This. Mac being outmarked by a midget.

    You've summed it up Jaded.

    One quarter if very good footy then rooting around against a injury ridden bottom side.

    Yes we win. But how well have we played?

    2nd best percentage in the comp with 4 less wins not enough for you?

    4 goals this quarter Jesse and your back in the Coleman race!

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • 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.
