    Clearly not understanding of Lockhart’s role. Negated JJ all day.

    Salem was ok, Brayshaw was career worst game almost.

    MFC - dumb football club

    MFC - lost winnable game

    MFC - not very smart

    I think today give us so many chances and I think the players will think it was “an honourable loss”. 

    I agree Joeboy was harsh on Lockhart. He’s having a crack.

    Hannan obviously is working his way into fitness after a long stint on the sidelines, buts it's been several weeks now and he just looks miles off.

    18 negatives. And we only went down by 8 points.   ?????

    ANB : Lacks Pysical Strength

    Lewis : Provided some leadership

    Jones : the wicket was too bouncy

    Preuss: the ball was too slippery

    Hunt : Think and move

    Dunkley : Learning

    Lockart : Learning all the time. Make tackle stick

    Brayshaw : Out of position

    Viney : Improving

    Clarrie: When giving ball by hand ,important to stay around the contested area.

    Frost and Fritsch : Costly brain fades

    Hibberd, May, Salem : Nucleus of our defence

    I stopped reading this thread ages ago, occasionally have a squiz to see if the irrelevance is still there, the comment re Salem confirms this

    Question remains did @joeboy actually watch the game?

    Mate, I agree with you that the assessment of Salem seems harsh, but why not just say "I actually thought Salem was good and here's why..." rather than taking a pot shot at someone on the internet that you don't know? Doesn't get anyone anywhere taking the personal approach.

    I don't normally play either but why not.....my players 

    Jones: 7 costly turnovers

    Brayshaw: Time for Casey

    Jetta: Was never going to be ready (haven't the FD learnt yet?)

    Fritsch: 50% Efficiency.....ouch!

    Lewis:  Stopping development progress

    Hannan: Dear oh dear

    Preuss: not fit enough

    Well what I find interesting from your 3 word summary, is that most of them are negative. Combine that with some charity goals to the Dogs and 14 players unavailable for us and yet we only lost by 8 points at the Dogs dung heap, on a day when they were celebrating their survival 30 years ago and needed to win to keep their final's chances alive.

    I find that pretty amazing.

    Got news for you.  Frosty has been among the better for many weeks now.  Even the Frost bashes have gone silent. 

    As far as Hannan is concerned, there was no cake and no icing today, as there hasn’t been since his return many weeks ago!

    Agree with Jetta.  Terribly underdone.  Needed at least another one at Casey.  Another obvious selection mistake which required no hindsight as so many queried it pre game.

    Oh wait, are you saying he was playing? I didn’t realise. I’ll have to go back and watch the game and try and find him.

    Yeh he was about 4 rows back from fence. Never wanted to get near ball so sat in stands.

    Not today 'joeboy', his worst in a while.

    Salem - season worst game

    Thought he was one of our better players...saved a couple of certain goals & generally used the ball well.

    A few weeks back when he copped a knock early was his worst game...you knew something was wrong when he couldn't hit a target.

    Lockhart - time to rest

    Has done a job the last 2 weeks, Simpson last week & JJ today. Kept them quiet but does seem to be playing sore so may need a rest.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • 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.
