Besides Ryan and Kelly, anyone else think that looked more like rugby? Great win WCE. Dees, Giants, Saints choking it up

    Extraordinarily poor loss by St Kilda.

    Were gifted the win at the selection table with all those West Coast outs, AND McGovern pulling a hammy before half time.

    St Kilda, Essendon and Melbourne kind of remind me of each other.

    Clean players that can kick and a ruck that hits the ball to dangerous spots, that was the difference

    Great pressure goal by Kennedy in the last quarter. Can't help but like him. Honest no bull****e old fashioned full forward- should get more accolades than he does.

    Fantastic result for our #Bradbury2020 plan. If Saints lose to GWS after we beat them then we’ll take their spot.

    Yes i don’t understand why Max can’t play the same way. Can’t these guys work out set plays during the week. 
    I don’t understand Training at all anymore,  so much theory now.

    Credit where credit is due. The resilience and work ethic of the eagles is something MFC must learn and develop ge I admire them. With so  many injuries and lose McGovern early headed by the saints and they fight back. That is the culture I want to see at Melbourne.

    Nic Nat threatens to take the ball and kick it.

    Makes it much harder to predict and defend. Gives their mids just that little more space

    Gawn in the ruck tends to be traditional and predictable.

    Jackson rucks Nic Nat style so fingers crossed

    A question.

    If we were missing the equivalent players that WC were tonight, could we have produced a come from behind win in ****ty conditions, in a clutch game?

    Mids coach: now gather round and we'll work through some scenarios. Now pretend I'm Max, and say I tap the ball to--

    Viney: Ball? Someone say ball? GIVE ME BALL (he dives on the ball)

    Oliver: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Harmes: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Viney: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Jones: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Brayshaw: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Mids coach: *sigh*

    I refuse to answer such a hypothetical question ?

    Not necessarily,  there is currently a 57 point differential in our percentage. Depending on how much Gws beat them we'd need to win both games by around 9 goals  combined currently.

    Surely the money has to be a dead-eye 55m Daniher bomb after the siren relegating us to 9th after we knock GWS off by 15 goals Sat night.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if we could somehow draft a player like Kelly with a pick in the twenties.

    How far off is our list compared to West Coast, they have a heap of good players on the injury list but I still think they would thrash us.

    I think the real question is why can’t we instead of could we

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
