Well, we aren't fitter, so if that was our ace-in-the-hole, it's a bust. As for the basics, we can't tackle, can't kick and can't mark.

Anyone notice how many big, fit, strong, young blokes the Dogs have?

    5 touches to Vandenberg. Another one whose cooked. Even Bowey picking up more disposals

    12 days for concussion so he should be ok

    12 days would take us to about 5.30pm Saturday 20th. Our game starts at 1.45pm on that day.

    Reckon he'd miss if it was concussion.

     

    not just missing tackles not even attempting to lay them. 

     

    Same Lazy BS as last year and before anyone says it, doesn't matter whos playing or what we are playing for the basics of the game are still the basics

    Haven't been able to watch any of this one.  Are there any positives at all coming out if this?  What's the score btw?

    If the situation was reversed and we had our full strength midfield and you took out daniel, mcrae, bont and dunkley, you'd expect the result to be 6-7 goals.  Its about right given the talent out there.

    Unfortunately, its about where our depth sits.  Our 16th-22nd player is essentially making up numbers again it seems.

    Demonlanders won’t have any issues finding new whipping boys off the back of this performance to replace Omac. Goodwin will be high on that list 

     

    We can not and will not defend against teams who short kick to maintain possesion.

    Making Tim English look like a leviathan of the game, FMD.

    Our disposal has not improved one iota.

    Our Forward line and entry into the F50 is just pathetic.

    Playing for draft picks again.

    Surely May will be ok for round 1. He walked off. Didn’t seem like he was out cold. Should be fine.

    No...Well one positive is Melbourne will win me more money this year as I bet against them every game.

    TBF if they even do judge it like that it's only out by a matter of hours. Incredibly unlucky if it happens.


    The Dogs have dominated the whole game.  Sure hands and nice finishing everywhere.  We have scrounged a few goals but the Bulldogs have just played at a higher level from the start.  We are not going to finish in the top 4.  
     

    I suppose this means Oliver is going to Carlton ?

    Vandenberg, Baker, Tomilnson, Jetta, Jordan, Sparrow, Hunt, Bedford not up to it.

    Bedford short pass on boundary hard into Harmes who doesnt run hard enough at it and is punched away from him. Harmes tells bedford kick was F****.  It was a beauty.

    EFFORT is non negotiable regardless of who’s in or out of the side.

    Goodwin interview on the list demand for higher achievements & more than just making finals ... let’s c if he’s still there after round 10 based on this performance .., sure practice game but feeling is we are still way off any top side

    i saw that too

    harmes really comes across as a terribly arrogant footballer for someone who is fairly ordinary in the grand scheme of things

    +1   .... 

    I've already put a few bucks on Freo at juicy odds. I think the odds with shorten after today's deplorable performance.

    • 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.
