Every quarter of every game for as long along as I can remember. Let's show how limp brained footballers we can be and give up a scoring chance in the last minute. I guess that's what bottom 8 teams do and that's us.

    Fritsch better be taking set shots every single day in the off season.

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

    Because the coach & some peanuts on this site love him.


    Warning signs already some really dumb footy played there despite early dominance and should have 4 on the board, not 1.4!

    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.

    I may be recalling incorrectly, but he seemed to perform better alongside Jackson.

    Classic MFC. Dominate a qtr fail to convert chances give up last second goal

    Exactly. Dumb footballers.  Dumb coach 

    We are playing all over Essendon.

    We can't finish some really good passages of play.

    The last handball in the chain being unnecessary and error riddled, is absolutely killing us.

    Poor disposal again. Poor leadership again. Missed set shots again. Fritsch the main culprit again.

    Where can the improvement come from to take us from a mid-table side to a top 4 side?

    Goodwin trying to play a game plan that he hasn’t recruited, or trained for.

    We don’t have the skills for this (because the coach insisted on contested ball beasts) and we proved it all quarter.

    Cant wait for 22 more games of this next year.

    Absolutely pathetic to leave nobody at home, so if we get the ball at half back there's nothing to kick to.

    Can't stand it.

    And the constant bombing in.  Who was Petracca even kicking to?  How can this still be happening week after week? LOWER YOUR F*@KING EYES!   Show me an All Australian that kicks like that.

    That and Fritsch's predictable kicking for goal. Boring.

    I'd bet my house that if a tally was done of last-minute-of-quarter goals against over the last few years, we would be miles ahead of the rest of the competition.

    Honestly you could sit down and write the script for this. Talk about a tragedy in 4 acts.

    Sorry but even Shakespeare would struggle to get his head around this scenario.

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

    Or fifth beer, depending on your time zone.

    So hard AGAIN to discern which team is playing for a finals birth.

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

    Terrible quarter in front of goal. 

     Own worst enemy. 

     Don’t deserve finals. 

    Our whole season summed up in 20 minutes.

    Poor kicking at goal.

    Poor decisions

     Yep and it sickens me. I'm gonna have to hit the Scotch hard so if i do spew I'll have a reason to.

    That would be an amazing stat.

    Smith on Danners does anyone see a problem

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
