What a rubbishy and boring game of footy. 
Must be time for a beer.

    Oliver's goal, again.

    Sick to death of his hot potato handballs to complete disadvantage of team mates, rather than taking responsibility himself.

    Nothing to see here though says @Dr.D

    How F’ing typical to crap in our own nest. Poor by Baker to not keep his feet. Why is Smith out there?

    How many years will we keep wasting forward opportunities with [censored] kicking and ball use?

    I what this season to be done. I’m over watching the same [censored] every week.

    Can they actually kick the ball instead of criss crossing the ground with hand balls. Essendon wait for the mistakes.

    Good seats, ****house game. 
     

    We look lost and jogging around the ground like a training drill. Good work all round so far.

    well they are certainly not playing like a team playing for a place in the finals, and quite frankly they have done nothing to deserve to be in the finals.

    Terrible quarter. Keeping them in the game. Fritsch can't kick for [censored].

    I'd be telling Fritch to lay off the next time he marks inside 50. His kicking for goal is costing us.

    I thought Weideman had a really strong block of form in the middle of the year. He's been utterly useless in the second half of the season. He gets pushed aside by the weakest of bodying. 

    Without him taking grabs or bringing the ball to ground, our forwardline obviously doesn't function.

    Oliver's disposal by hand was shocking that quarter.

    Essendon look thoroughly ordinary. We should win easily, but we find ourselves a few points down. Hopeless.

    OVERHANDBALLING ????

    Frittta ??and Spargo ?misses 
     

    We are shizzzzzzzn and dumb 

    get it right and we win !!! 

     

    Every week we have heard from the commentators about Melbourne's "stars".

    Most clubs would kill for a line of Gawn Viney Oliver Petracca, throw in Salem, AVB as well. 

    We just play such one dimensional football. We aren't getting the most out of these guys.

    We're playing alright. Just not finishing our work at the moment. Not panic stations yet

    Essendon are [censored] rubbish and we are making them look bloody brilliant with our pathetic use of the football, our soft tackling (AVB aside) and a non existent game plan. 
    Nothing is more predictable than Melbourne chocking. Nothing.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
