Jones stood up>> in the last 2 mins.

His out on the foul when we needed a goal was just what we needed

Kicking 18 behinds is not coaching related

14 behinds MAT, 4 were 'rushed'

We needed a sight screen behind our forward line. We obviously couldn’t see Aliir all day

Worst disposal by a captain of the MFC. Nathan Jones hang your head in shame.

Had a few opportunities for career defining moments and he fluffed them. Sums up the side really.


Don’t know why we are playing Spargo over Kent

    We are mentally weak. Too many players go missing when the game gets tough. Unless Goodwin is kicking it for them can’t see how he’s to blame. Jones last quarter proves there is no excuse why he was weak as [censored] jogging between contests for the first three. Reset next week  and hopefully someone stands up and decides to take the game by the scruff of the neck.

    Port Adelaide, the second Geelong game, and tonight. All games we 100% should have won but found a way to butcher it.

    Each of them in different ways, but the bottom line is we have officially choked away top 4, and top 8 is looking 50/50 right now.

    Goodwin must go! Hopeless loss! 

    I am gone. I will be sending membership back and am presently collecting all clothing etc to put in good Sammy bin. The homeless guy said he will report me for putting rubbish in the bin. 

     

    We lose two two games to the cats by a few points now they sneak into the 8 . Well done you bunch of clowns

    What has changed for hunt’s run and dash to be only seen once in the biggest ground. This must be coaching but I don’t understand why he would be selected then.....

    Someone needs to tell that drop kick coach of ours Spargo should never be picked ahead of Kent. Cost us at least 3 goals with his selfish play.

    No composure. Panic after panic. 

    Our culture has to grow out of the losing FEAR.

     

    Composure is a must, in those ,little',,,  'critical',  moments.

    Jones. So flaky in a game that mattered so much

    Neal-Bullen can [censored] right off

    Hunt inclusion was a failure 

    I feel sick

    The umpires were [censored] in all four (both geelong games)

    Swans are an aging hack team who can't kick big scores to save themselves & we gift them 4 points with that [censored] goal kicking effort. Pathetic MFC.

    The lack of composure spreads thru the team.  Spargo did not start the lacking of composure.

    It was evident thru most of the game.

    Hunt is a dud. He got off the leash early in his career because no one paid him any attention.

    I love Jones but he should drop himself. 

    Sad but correct. No speed and takes 2nd or 3 option then gets caught.

    I cant see a serious future with him in the team. Started on the wing a lot also suggests goodwins thinking.

    • 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.
