Sometimes I think MFC has shares in a medical practice specialising in thoracic surgery and depression. 
 

Well my doctor is a melbourne member and said we spend a $$$$ on depression pills?

    I'll obviously take the word of some on here over that, so going by someone like titan, whose view on a game I trust, he gave us nothing. 

    Not quite true. I generally agree with @titan_uranus on Smith in that he's not a footballer, but he actually made a number of good spoils and rebounded off his man a number of times in the first three quarters. I wouldn't have him in my team, but he probably played his best defensive game ever today.

    Put the cue stick in the rack at 3rd qtr time and pulled it back out for the last 5 mins.

    Thanks again to the AFL for making us play 15 games straight without a bye and scheduling 2 games cramned in Cairns in abhorrent conditions.

    Wouldn't happen to a Geelong, Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond would it. 

    Phark you'se where it hurts.

    Mitch brown 20 disposals and 13 marks..  this is the guy who was out of the side all season when we have been crying out for a big forward.

    Our selection committee is pure rubbish.

    It could be worse. You could be Essendon watching a player they delisted play like that against them.

    Melksham nowhere. What is his role? What happened since 2018?? Very lazy

    Really needs to be addressed Im afraid.

    To think the bloke was given a captains birth in one game.

    Had more chances than Tmac.

    Don't leave out his perfect hand pass to the Essendon player in that last quarter.

    We need a Power Forward desperately.

    As many problems as Hogan had he was a Powerhouse in the forward line who took all the pressure off by crashing packs and taking clunk marks.

    Eddie McGuire has to be the worst commentator of all time.

    His job is to call the play.

    Instead we get a combination of cheering for the underdog, umpire bashing, expert analysis, lame Collingwood references, and snide remarks to an entire supporter base. Every time he's on.

    He can [censored] right off.

    You can add in self congratulation

    If Freo get up I hope we bring Jackson in to provide some X-factor and a foil for Weideman up forward.

    It'd be great too to see May play his first ever final.

    Our second tier players  in Hunt, ANB, Brown, and the youngy's in Rivers and Kossi  kept us in it.

    Petrac, Clarry, , Langdon and Gawn   stood up as usual.  However  Lever had a great game IMO he steadied the ship all day.  Held the backline together while May was his usual best defending stoutly.

    That really was The Salem that we all loved.

    Made a big difference.

    I think he and Jetta not like they used to be has been a big difference since 2018.

    Them and Hogan, Tmac and Garlett  scoring a bag load of goals.

    On the positive we now have AA  May, Langdon, young and young Rivers.

    Fix Frittas kicking and pick up a proven 40 plus goaler and we could be in business next season.

    As I said, I wouldn't have him in my team, but I don't think it's fair to say he didn't do his job in the first three quarters. For the most part, he did.

    If we make finals Weideman should be dropped for LJ.

    so SAY we qualify and play away to Weagles

    Smith stays in due to their height unless we role the ball on Hore?

    vandenberg makes way for Harmes who trains the house down?

    ANB makes way for the Jones fairytail?

    Melky did not do enough to keep out Jackson to match their aerial power?

    theyre the calls we have to make

    It was a decent win in a must-win game.  Essendon have talent and they've gone 12-10 the last 3 years.  Notable that we've gone 6-4 since the compressed fixture while they've gone 1-1-8.  They were going to get momentum at some stage and to play the all out attack they needed gave us opportunities out the back which we took.  We won 68-49.

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
