The Petracca squib summed up his season thus far.

We need to win next week or it’s season over. Only 3 teams in 100+ years have won the flag from 0-3.

    You hope to get four goals s quarter   Bloody not four goals for the whole game !

    Bit unfair though

    wet, surgeries, we forget how to resemble ourselves, we didn’t know when the season started, no one could get the BOM forecast  etc etc

    Petracca check your pants, little bit of poo will be in your undies

    Absolutely squibbed it. He has been awful. Not improving...a footballer going nowhere! I want him to be good but it ain’t happening

    They and we,  all fell for the positive fugazi during Preseason. 

     

    And we all made much of the fugazi ourselves,  selling ourselves our own hype.

    The players obviously believed it,  and are mentally under-prepared now,  and are playing catch-up,  Re confidence and also fitness,  because I think the Mfc fell into the same trap,  as we have.

    Not really, no experienced Melbourne supporter believed all the media BS

    Barlett should have Pert ,Goodwin, Jones in for a coffee first thing tomorrow.

    Losing a home game to a non finalist followed up by this says there is something wrong somewhere.

     

     

    Goodwin will be full of excuses, because this club loooooves an excuse. We had a short pre season. Boo hoo. We played finals and now we are unfit. Boo hoo. 

    Cry me a [censored] river Melbourne. Let’s continue not to ever compete in September and have long and healthy pre seasons.

    We aren’t winning the flag this year no matter what.

    Start the rebuild again!

    Maybe we can grab one of WCE’s theee small forwards who are fast, tackle and provide pressure. 


    This is a good time to look for which players continue to fight it out, in this last Qtr...  and again next week.  To rise to the occasion and fight back for form.

    Those who turn up their toes in the next 5 Qtrs,  can go back to Casey for a month.

    This is a timely reminder to our infant supporters who just expected strong performances, after finals last year.

     

    Get in your lane kids..... This is more like the Dees we know.

    I’ll take Cory Wagner. Petracca needs a rocket 

    That's the answer? Wagner? FMD.

    Who replaces Lockhart? Who replaces Sparrow? Who replaces Frost? Who replaces ANB? Who replaces Jones? Who replaces KK?

    Replacing with a Wagner is just shuffling the deck chairs.

    I'm not saying you are wrong. It's just that replacing Trac is a luxury we can't afford at this time. I would love it if it was. I'm very disappointed with his output, just a bit more realistic than some others.

    • 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.

    • 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.
