Hardwicks game plan doesn't work. Hes lost the players, they have no system. They just bomb it long to nobody. They cant score. The are out worked and lazy. Get rid of him.

 

Sound familiar

    Noticed a few players glancing up at what I assume was the electronic scoreboard at the MCG. Surprised me that it was operating in these cash strapped times.

    How the hell did Lynch miss that goal in the final term. He was literally right in front. As JB said it was harder to miss. 

    I really admire Clarko. He shows that you don't need to be a superstar player in the day to be a great coach. He sat back and watched his club cop it all week, being called Dads Army and McEvoy shouldn't be down back while plotting on how to bring down richmond. 

    Also loved his last remark in the presser last night when asked about dads army and said that why we pulled out poppy so we wouldn't reach that oldest list. It was so tongue in cheek with a smile and Tom Browne wasn't sure how to respond.

    Whorethorn understand hard work, it doesn’t matter so much who is in the side. 
    The MFC touch on hard work sporadically, but then say “We have done it” and let go

    At Whorethorn it is a requirement every year. 
     

    Remember last year they went to Canberra and played in the snow....and won the game. Games like that i dream of the MFC winning....

    Twould be nice if Melbourne occasionally surprised to the upside like the Hawks did, sadly we are predictably [censored].

    One thing I have always envied about hawthorn is the way they man the mark with purpose, regularly going way over the mark and always get away with it. I’d like us to push the boundaries a bit more in that area.

    One time against Brissy they huddled in the shade at last break. 
    Lions got up. 
    Godzilla  after that win (with AFL help)

    That’s right i had forgotten that one!!

    I bet Clarko hasn’t

    I remember that!  Would you believe that was as far back as 1995 and Brisbane were still The Bears.

    Clarko was still at North Melbourne (came to us the following year) so I doubt it would be memorable to him.

    It would be Whorethorn folklore, Clarko would know it happened

    They always learn from any mistakes

    have been known to slip down for a moonlight dip

    Singapore is allowing two people per pool so there is hope. Local population aren't great swimmers so unfortunately not a priority ?

    True-  it's not the 1m further away from the player's target that matters much of the time, but the 1m less the player has to work in.  But I'd prefer the umpires to enforce the rules even-handedly and not let anyone get away with breaking them.

    Exactly. Agree 100%

    He’s been watching Melbourne’s forward line too much.

    Can someone please explain to me why Frost was a mistake riddled disaster at times for the MFC, but as soon as he puts on an HFC jumper he turns into a slick, skilful and reliable defender?

    I thought in the scheme of things he was a good defender. Sure he made a few clangers but i always thought he gave his all and when on song it was a catchy tune. Wouldnt mind having him back to be honest.

      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.
