Relax everyone. We are dominating inside 50’s and we all know that’s a great indicator of the outcome.

?

Ha ha.

 

Gawn is a superstar best ruck in the league. Langdon and Salem playing well. We need to take the most of our opportunities up forward great to see Weid take a good mark unfortunately T.Mac isn't there to help him out.

We were better that quarter but the umps have no idea how they should be calling HTB

Kozzy...anyone think he has done anything to deserve a game this season? Been selected on potential and is providing little to no pressure around the forward line

A bit harsh to say he provides little pressure. Clearly our best pressure forward and should have had a free kick inside 50 that quarter for his tackles. Has faded off after a solid round 1 performance and getting multiple scoring opportunities in the pre season. Might need a week or two off

We have come a long way when bringing in Omac and then Tmac not playing makes us better.

Hannan and VDB very quiet.

Another game where we dominate for periods. Misuse the ball horribly and let the opposition run off our mistakes and score. 

This is what drives me obviously crazy in the coconut. Why does one little misuse and then bam! I feel like we're always working on a scaffold at a construction site with no safety rail behind us. 

Much better than previous weeks and the structure sooo much better with Omac and Weid in!! Shame about TMac as it forces this to change.

Lockhart no touches and one free kick against, currently -3 rating points...

Useless. Like JKH only smaller.

Because every other team supporter would say the exact same thing about their team when that occurs...

Give him time Leon.

When was the last time we saw a Melb player draw a kick when pretending to shoot at goal, hitting up a mid/forward leading into opportunistic space between 3 opposition players, leaving them scratching their heads?

Same as Rivers this week


Who cares about Lockhart, plays down back and as long as his man doesn't kick a bag it's fine 

AVB, Melk and Hannan are all a true worry 

 

OMAC = Talisman

will need a very solid 2nd half to avoid being relegated for Rivers next week

Can’t win with Melksham, Hannan, Pickett, Jetta, Lockhart and AVB with essentially no stats.

AVB was magnificent. WTF are you talking about.

Are you here all week? Man I hope so ?

Way too many players not getting their hands on the ball.

  • 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.
