[censored] me dead. How many times do we need to kick to that exact same spot, and have it intercepted by THE EXACT SAME PLAYER, before we decide to kick somewhere else. Christ some serious questions need to be asked about our players. 

That idiotic kick from Tyson was the equivalent of last week's Gunston poster which resulted in our goal.

    He’s not alone, but Joel Smith has had a shocker today. Not sure it was a great move bringing him in for a prelim so early in his career. He still hasn’t shown he’s even afl standard, let alone ready to play finals.

    I think oscar has done a good job today

    He has, but someone will pipe up no doubt.

    They have been exposed today. No doubt Lever’s return will help. The last 2 weeks the oppositionhave only had 1 good KPF, we still get exposed with 2 decent tall forwards.

    Omac and Frost are an example of where we lack polish and need to be supporting a primary KPD

    But today shouldn't be their measure as their midfield mates completely torched them

     

    Vanders has been good this second half. Thank god someone has the balls to take on the opposition instead of firing off a panicked handball.

    I actually think Oscar has played well considering the complete lack of midfield pressure and the quality of player he’s been playing on. 

    Also if Petracca doesn’t learn to kick this summer he needs to F off. Sick of his goal kicking.

    If anyone has come to the conclusion that Jordan Lewis is to blame for this then you need some serious psychotropic medication.

    Although it is an expedient thing to have a whipping boy.

    Another possible interpretation?

    He’s having a shocker and he’s not on his own

    I’m off to the Doctor tomorrow morning for some of that Medicine 

    Believe he’s been a liability all year

    Cant have a bloke in the side for excellent finger pointing who won’t chase or tackle except on the odd occasion when he feels like it

    Fritsch would be feeling dirty right now. Not that he was the difference between a win or loss but Joel hasn't exactly set the world on fire. 

    Oscar has been pretty good. Lewis, Jones, Tyson have all had shockers. 

    Oh God, how did Weid miss that? This is like nightmare fuel. 


    New boot supplier please

     

    We have been exposed by our own poor play and NOT by Kennedy and Darling. Eight goals for Meth Coast in the first half resulted from crappy handball turnovers.

    Crappy grand final coming up. Sorry to offend the purists but I'd rather have seen GWS and Gold Coast

    Let’s not let this debacle degrade us or define us

    Many many positives from the season but mentally and physically overwhelmed on the big stage.  It happens. 

    We have come a long way.  Time to move on and look ahead to how and where we can improve. 

    I think we thought we were good enough against the Cats this year, up to Semi's. 

    The Hawks as well, but was a slightly bigger stretch for us... we overcame almost too much, in one sitting, to digest in the one season...

    With the new charges coming into the side this year,,, Spargo, Weidemen, the new Frost, jSmith, Fritta,  we've gone realistically as far as anyone could expect, in 2018__

    Fritsch might feel better that he wasn’t part of this debacle.

    • 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.
