GAMEDAY: Rd 06 v Gold Coast

Hannan has been harassing the Gold Coast defenders for mine. It doesn't get counted as a tackle, but it's important all the same.

Melksham doesn't do ANY of this. He needs to go.

    commentators talking about Weids poor body positioning. Scratching my head about what he's been learning since he entered the system.  Anyway..maybe the goal will kick start him. He has that  onfield lost feeling about him which never fills me with confidence.

    His disposal isn't great but I love his running. Always runs forward to provide an option after dishing it off.

    Too many passengers.. we are dominating but these passengers are stopping us from killing them . Lockhart melksham avb brayshaw lever jetta hibberd hannan pickett

    Hannah, AVB and Melksham need to lift.

    Melksham puts in another stinker then surely he is on the chopping block.

    Haven't read any of this thread so if already said I missed it.

    It'll probably been an unpopular opinion/observation, but does anyone else think Bennell plays like he doesn't want contact? He had a couple of chances to go hard but pulled back. Also when tackling he just sticks his arms out rather than fully commit with body and they run right through him.

    Yes I'm sure I'll get given a list of names who have their own moments of poor play. I've just been particularly focussed on Bennell this game.

    Interesting one Wellsy, I thnk he is always about 1-2m too forward to mark it... unless it's zinging in at chin height.

    But... I kicked a ball for the first time in a couple of years with my 4.5 yo and some mates this morning, and found I was always dropping the kick about 2m short... I have done that fairly consistently since I played juniors... maybe it's a spatial thing and cannot actually be coached out of him.

    What I mean is - he knows intellectually what to do, but neurologically, it just 'feels' better the way he is doing it at the time...

    anyway...some drunkn thoughts.

    He's been in the right spots spilled a few but had definately straightned us up

    @binman currently frothing at the mouth at O Mac's first half.

    Just a standard OMac game.

    And by the by i wouldn't mind revisit the discussion of who is better kick Trac or Omac!

    Melks needs to put in or else he's out.

    Strong second Q. 4 goals to 2. we've turned the game around somewhat.

    Langdon been good. Viney better. keep up the pressure of that second Q and we should win

    Have noticed it, but willing to let is slide considering he is the only player that can pick the ball up cleanly.

    have seen this and it'll come - but he's also being more defensive in terms of blocks and a few more team things

    don't need him laying big tackles (I'm sure it'll come with time), right now we need his class and skills - which is building

    but i certainly get what you mean, he's being cautious and wants some outside ball

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
