What a complete and utter disgusting display. 

I can deal with a loss but this is heartbreaking.

    I didn't realise the skull was out there... but I shld have known the AFL would arrange for it.  Got their insurance for the interstate vs Vic GF

     

    I just feel sick. No thanks even one goal

    Can we break a few records?

     

    Midfield should be ashamed of themselves. Disgusting display especially by our leaders. Jones, Gawn and Lewis have done absolutely nothing.

    I get a feeling the boys didn’t want to front up to Collingwood next week.

    One hell of a reality check.

    See y'all on the Draft and Cheese board.

    Need a response.. game is gone, but cannot let this be 100 points.. save some pride

    So so so so disappointed 

    [censored]! A goalless half, where the prize is a Grand Final berth

     

    Pathetic..

    Leaders have gone missing again when it counts. 

    Diddnt even know Jones was playing. 

    Viney to be sole captain next yr please.

    50 years of this just another to add to the list. Only positive we won two finals and clearly this game will highlight who can't cut the mustard. What hurt is these flogs have been consistent finalists for years and we just keep being let down. Does it ever end.

    Team just isn’t ready to be a serious contender yet, won 2 finals after a decade+ but today was a bridge too far

    Worst half by a team in a final since 1927. That’s how bad we’ve been. The midfield today has been Neeld era bad. 18 tackles in a half in a final. Less than half be opposition who have had the ball the whole time. Pathetic effort. 

    So disappointing to completely sh*t the bed after all the good work to this point.

    Very very very disappointing 

    Some players out there are not up to the pressure mentally and physically 

    List changes MUST be made in the next few weeks

    Those who want to be part of a premiership in the next few years need to stand up in the second half!!

     

    Wow.  A complete capitulation.  Jogging to contests now.  Can’t win a contest, cant execute basic skills.  At least 4 players having absolute stinkers.  It is getting embarrassing.  We lack composure and have created this mess.  Eagles have take our slop and are running past us like witches hats.  

    Gotta reflect on the positives for this year, and this will not be one of them

    0 marks inside 50 for the entire first half, is that a record ?

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
