Giants will have it won by half time, please feel free to prove me wrong MFC (and I don't mean GWS to have it won by 3/4 time!!!!!!)

 

can't see us getting close to gw$ regardless of how trash they've looked for the majority of this season

god i hate that franchise

Mmmm, it does have a vibe, as though those whom are in contract are checked out, and those who are playing for a contract (for the Dee's or elsewhere) may just raise the bar a bit in the energy stakes and play for themselves.

You wake up on game day and hope your side wins. Problem is I think we will get thrashed but then again have not watched alot of GWS. Prove me wrong melbourne.

If it is Jettas last game they should break their balls for him. Been a great clubman.


so which melbourne football team will turn up today, the one that will play good football and get us all excited about the possibility of playing finals, or the one where we are a top 8 side playing a bottom side and who capitulates. Until about 2 weeks ago i had hoped we had turned the corner and were starting to play some good consistent football, with some awesome patches and  I looked forward to us playing a major part in the finals. But if these players cannot rise to the occasion with finals on the line against bottom dwellers then our chances not only this year but in future years is grim. 

Jetta still has a year to run on his contract, he may not be an automatic inclusion into our best 22 every week but I imagine he’ll get the occasional game next season.

Our last 2 games were losses because of intensity and effort. I can't see what has changed just because our President had a crack publicly, we are trying different players, and an Age journo has done a trifling fluff piece about power plays behind the scenes. 

We will probably win well this week, then get thrashed next week. This is Melbourne way. I have spoken. (kudos to the Mandalorian!)

Not a bad show Mb38

hope so

We were to play them round 2 off the back of the WC debacle.  They were in decent form and we were trash.  We have peaked and come back to baseline, and they have gotten worse.  Probably better to play them now on the off chance we bring something today.


We’ve had plenty of passengers the last 2 games but I can’t see us winning tonight if Weideman has another poor game. He needs to lift otherwise I don’t see where the goals are going to come from.

You could have least asked for my permission to use my pic.

Go Dees.

Pass the Shiraz please.

This team doesnt have it in them.

Easily beaten the past 2 weeks by poor teams shows we have already checked out.

That and Goodwin.

 

Our season ended a couple of weeks ago.

To the CEO and The Board

Why???

The game will be all over by quarter time!


no idea who's worse, us who threw our season away against non finals sides when we had everything to play for or them who lost to the bottom side last week and dropped their captain who's on $7m....

I've mentally checked out - unfortunately there is nothing else to do tonight so I'll put myself through this torture once more

Nope. In true Melbourne style we win the next 2 and get pushed out by the doggies.

This will certainly happen, big 9th on the ladder coming up

Keeps looking like he will break out but still not certain if he will be a star.

Most premier sides have a coleman eligible player. Maybe it will be him or maybe Jackson. The latter has shown better form earlier.

Perhaps we should just lure one (although theres not many about).

I have no idea why, but I think we will win tonight.

Full disclosure: I said that the last 2 games.


Has there been a club media ban this week ? No podcast from Gawny or Talking Points interview from Benny G. Haven't noticed any radio interviews either. 

On form i would not be laying money on either team!  This is the "flaky" cup playing for a flake bar as the prize.  

On paper they should absolutely murder us....10 goals+

There is a blueprint to beat GWS though and it has been laid out well by other teams.  Control the centre square, push them long and down the line, take away their run and gun style they love to play.   I actually think they seem scarred from their recent GF loss, which was maybe worse than our prelim vs WC few years back.

If we come in a with a solid game plan we will beat this mob despite them having lot more talent.  If we come in with anything less we will miss out on the flake bar.  I love/hate this club haha!

I would play Nev as a defensive forward. Think he might surprise.

 

Giants have made too many changes to win this. I’m actually confident we’ll beat them by 20+ points.

Still think we’re doubtful for finals though unless Clarko pulls a rabbit out of the hat to beat the dogs.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
