Our 4th Quarter fitness is an indictment on Missons tenure at the Dees.

    Poor kicks poor football we are just not good enough in a crisis situation 

     

    This umpire is so so so bad. She needs to just go away. Embarrassing stuff!

    To be fair, we've been down on rotations in hot conditions. Not a fair game to be making that call on.

    If our DH coach says in the presser that was an honorable loss I'll spew up. They can sing for my membership next year, I've had a gutful of this BS they dish up week after week. Pathetic losers.

    True. But we are both a man down this quarter.

    We are not a 4 quarter team. Haven’t been all year. Just another problem to add to a long list of problems.

    Another superb kick by ANB, gives us a goal in the third! Great pass to Fritsch

    And that was about the last we saw of him other than a few cameos in general play Farmer....not good enough by a long way.   A bit like the MFC for many many decades.

    20 degrees, 28% humidity.

    It is a myth that Alice is hot, or humid, in winter.

    Thanks Dave

    Poor kicking at goal has cost us another win.

    We are our own worst enemy.   They ran all over us again which is another issue that needs to be addressed.

    Kick straight and we would have been up by 5 goals at 3/4 time.  And with that sort of lead the legs find another gear.

    No stars and no genuine forwards able to finish of the good work 640.  All injured or didn't fire a shot all year other than T-Mac in one three quarter cameo.

    Well the Fritsch kick cost us the game. Stay forward!

    What a disgraceful comment. He was probably one of only a few players who kept us in the game.

    • 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.
