1st quarter 

- winning the footy but disposal poor 

- overhandballing still

✅ Harmes on ball (good)

✅ Petracca getting it done. 14 possessions 

- missed tackles are costing us goals 

✅ Pickett is a beauty. Skills. Pace. How’s the leap !!

Oliver’s handball to Gawn then is why he will never be a great player. He chooses terrible options time and time again. He has got worse since he started.

He is too Manic, once he has the ball.   he has to be composed once he wins ball.

    Mix of very good and very poor.

    Intensity was there for 12 minutes.

    Fritta is playing up the ground.

    Salem is cracking in.

    Ball use a couple of times excellent.

    Petracca.

    Bad: Gawn and Tomlinson vying for WoG.

     

    That was an enjoyable quarter of footy. 


    Good Lord I hope bennell gets fit soon. We need his kicking skills more than we need competitive beasts. 

    Am I right in thinking Bedford is a a good kick? If so I'd put him straight in.

    We work so hard for so little result. But we kickec two great goals through agaggresse kicks. I hope they keep it up. Rather lose attacking then lose in a scrappy game of rugby

    Doing well.  Tracc on fire.  We dont ALWAYS have to take the game straight through the middle.  Yes if its there....bit if outlets are closed you are allowed to go laterally or backwards to maintain possession / hold the play up.

    Some cleaner / smarter ball use in the clinches and we're a chance here.

    Great mark by TMac earlier too. 

    He needs to clunk more of those in front of the goals.

    Steven May would want to do something soon. Getting smashed again. Worried we've made a monumental blunder here. Try him forward, Tmac back

    They look and play remarkably similarly. But Hunt’s hair is much more luxurious. Langdon wishes he had Hunt’s hair. 

    It's all in the Nippy's

      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.
