Kk was always going to be a punt.  Need to get him confident of a return.  It’s now the danger time. One more concussion and I’d say it’s career over unfortunately.  

 

no t smith again,cant see him being kept on the list ,never gets on the park.Shame,i am afan of his

Looking to see how #65 Liam Buxton-Wales goes this week.  Impressed me earlier in the year and I think could be rookie opportunity at end of the year. 

Also will look out for bulldogs #56 Anthony Scott. Running wingman who played at Old Trinity and Richmond’s VFL team. Heard he is a goalkicking wingman who has realty shown this year in the Dogs VFL team.

Nice that we named Petracca as if it would trick them into thinking he'd line up in the VFL. 

11 AFL Listed MFC Players only. 

Dogs expected to win by at least 7 goals. Apart from Caleb Daniel (who is probably on the bench in their best 22), they have a fully fit squad!!! 19 AFL listed players. Amazing!!

Outside it’s wild and woolly. Inside a treat.

Relying on lots of contributions from posters because the game is at Metricon and its being televised.

Dogs have the only score - a point.


Only a matter of time before their speed ended up with a goal over the top. 7 - 1 - we have had more of play in our half but cannot get a shot on goal (including a air-y from Maynard in the goal square). 

I'm liking the look of Jordon.

Very raw, but you can see as he starts to put on size and get an AFL body he could be a very good player.

Jordon knows where to position himself to find the ball.

His first Q is very similar to how he finished off tac cup last year.

Developing nicely...


Wow.. Oscar McDonald outmarked by a smaller half forward...

All the emergencies playing?

NO Forwards and a severe lack of leg speed on the outside. Being carved up on the rebound. Oscar Mac just got schooled by a VAFA player. Absolutely schooled. Delist


Jordan playing in the guts and starting to play well. Needs to lower the eyes a little more (or possibly people need to give him better options? Hard to know on TV). Has a good kick on the boy. Playing on Mitch Wallis apparently. 

Baker does look too good for this level, but needs to be in the game a little more. His defensive efforts have been good in the first quarter. Got into the game as the quarter went on but his stats were padded with 3 touches in the back half in the last little bit of the quarter. 

JKH doing what he does - in and under getting the ball. When he makes a mistake, he goes and fixes it. 

Bedford once he puts on some more muscle will be a nice small forward. 

C Wagner is not as dominant as he has been in the last few weeks. 

Oscar is in frame but hasn't really done anything? He has lost one contest for the quarter (resulted in a behind), has disposed of the ball nicely. But he isn't playing last line of defence and that might also be an issue we need to fix up for Q2. 

Our VFL defenders are really in trouble. If they get some space, our defenders are left miles behind. When we are going forward they tend to put it on the head of White. I'm not sure who has been getting the inside 50s - I'd say 50/50 for VFL/AFL listed. But lets face it, there arent a lot in the VFL who you'd want delivering to you as a key forward. You can see why Jordan, JKH, Wagners and Oscar have been our emergencies lately as there isn't a lot there.

    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.
