lmao they're paying incorrect disposal now.

 

Umps gave us a couple now have gone full GWS must win.

 

Typical Melbourne as favourites performance so far

Absolute joke.

They are useless. They don’t rewrite the rules differently each week


Our kicking for goal is putrid.

 

But the umpiring is worse.

 

They can make all the rule changes they want, but I want to see star midfielders play without being flattened off the play too.

We had our opportunities and didn't capitalise. GWS gifted goals either through umpires or poor defense. A bit more polish and control of the play and things can turn quickly. We are playing right into their hands though.

That number 22 umpire always burns us

Looks like someone put Ken in the microwave 

For me, this is the difference between us and the serious contenders: Oliver had two straightforward shots on goal, Gawn one, Kozzie a fairly straightforward one - not a single goal from any of them. 

On top of that kicking into the forward line. ANB misses Tom MacD by a metre, turnover, up the other end, goal.

Lots of positives, but it's this inability to finish that costs us.

Yep and they have given him 2 chances at goal and he has botched both. 

Put Oliver in the bloody forwards line. 

very ordinary bunch ,seem happy to just show pony ,that means you oliver ,tmac runs under the ball every time,fritter not trying to grab the ball ,shocking

The MFC we all know has turned up thus far ... let’s see if anything has changed 


This commentary is just down right bogan...

When you think warning signs, you think that quarter. 

Ball spends heaps of time in our forward half but inefficiency and missed set shots mean we don’t capitalise. They break fast and score 6 times from 11 inside 50s. 

I do not like the look of this. 

 

Tbere were a lot of back slappers last week when we came back after being challenged let's see if this team really does have the right stuff

I thought we got out coached that quarter, so it will be interesting to see the response. They don’t want to kick it long as we have Lever, May and Gawn behind the play.

  • 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.
