I reckon you could have just stopped at your first line mate ;)

Probably! Just going off what I saw in the final minutes. Clearly we've been very good the rest of the time which is great.

Smith needs to tidy up his kick, as does Nifty. Very sloppy that quarter.

Smith was reading the play very well though but as you say, disposal needs to improve.

    Jones, Hogan, Jetta and Petracca. Not one tackle between them to half time. 

    Suns haven't had much of the ball

    Darleks “Exterminate “

    You’re right... I stand corrected and apologies to ProDee for ever doubting him ?

    Good stuff so far but start the game again and do the same thing. Go for the kill 

    I love him, but Jetta with 2 terrible and lazy kick turnovers straight to the opposition in that quarter would have normally turned into definite goals against a decent opposition. Time to smarten up and take this game seriously.

     

    Come on, boys. Third quarter is our quarter.

    very tough conditions. sitting in afl members and the wind is strong and swirly.

    Fancy that, I was told I should’ve read the forecast and it’s an enclosed stadium. Luckily we’ve kicked straight so far but I want to rip their throats out so they fold as a club

    Max. Hand it off. You’re not in the side for your precision kicking.

    For the love of god stop turning the ball over ffs.

    Maybe they should merge with Hawthorn? 

    Very lazy since half way through 2nd. Don’t like this 

    Good lord we can butcher the ball in the forward half.


    Sounds like we have kicked the ball over the head of every leading forward

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
