Shiiit what a borefest...

Our boys haven't turned up. 

I've taken to counting the number of consecutive effective disposals in a row we can do. (<2m Handballs don't count)

Best I saw in first quarter were two consecutive kicks to a team mate.

Try it, it distracts you from the horror of it all and watching this club destroy talented youngsters careers over and over again.

Clearly we are a tall option short today -  time and time again goody proves he can’t pick the right team.

 

We haven’t been bad on the ground but when the ball is in the air we are uncompetitive.

Fritz just shouldn’t be dropping that mark at this level. If he takes that and converts we’d be a goal behind which would be reflective of the game.

Hey Goody, you have potentially the best rover in the AFL in the forward line. I will leave it to work out who, but, think Jimmy Krakoeur. Move out some of the flat foot four.l

Nothing wrong with the defensive effort. Lacking any dare and clean take aways, May this be the last game without a second tall and can our first one please find something that resembles form. 

I believe 1987 was the last time Tom McDonald took a mark or kicked a goal. 
Why they refuse to play Weid is beyond me. How is he a worst option than playing no forwardline. 

We have the worst forward line In the league comfortably. No marking targets. Our list management decisions in throwing the bank at defenders has cost us a chance to have a run at the flag. Unless we can find a trade target in the off season this list build has been a waste of time.

North will be planning who they want with pick 1. May was a huge mistake, not to mention Lever. Overpaid duds.

Absolutely agree. Who owns those decisions. May is the laziest footballer and Lever has no impact whatsoever. It has assigned us to another rebuild.


TMac has broken Stewarts collarbone

Tom Stewart done for the day with a broken collarbone apparently.

We'll see if that makes a difference to our forward line.

Yes and yes 

Stewart done for the day. 

How we going with Inside50 stat? That's the one that counts, that's the one that indicates 'potential'.

Thought the umps were fine. If Fritsch could take a chest mark and Kozzie could convert a soda we’d be about level. Cats just took their very few chances. We didn’t.

Dangers 50 was soft. 
AVB kicked the ball (looked bad but did connect)

their short kicks didn’t go over the ‘grass lines’ but were paid 15m

Kossie stopped play but was still called play on. 

yeah they were fine. 

Tom Stewart down. Our forward line needs every bit of help it can get.


Brayshaw's kick inside 50 is classic Melbourne. Has plenty of time, but either the forwards don't lead to the right spot or the kick is poor, or both, and we can't make the most of the clearance.

  • 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.
