Oliver was being held in the middle. 

Cannot believe they missed it.  Wasn't a quick hold either, he was holding him before he got it, and then after the ball left the area.

    We should be in front and should have had a lot more holding the man free kicks.

    Gerard Healy just said after Fritsch goal that this is the best lineup of the Dees in 20 years and the sky is the limit for them.

    I know- I couldn't believe it either.


    Someone in the square please.

    Neale is killing us at the moment.  We need to either put the clamps on him or make him accountable the other way.

    Just have to kick that ball Brayshaw - get it forward 

    Cost us a goal and the momentum

    As I’ve said they are a much better team. They are killing us in every area right now. 


    McCluggage killing us with his clean hands. Always hitting running players

    Need to clear it.

     

    their front and centre work is under 10s stuff and they are standing at front of contests and getting easy possesions. Three goals now from front and centre roving/handball receive.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      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.
