Never completely place your trust in Melbourne. Not now. Not ever.

I still think we’ll win but Jesus we need about ten players to pull their finger out to pull this off.

 

Just when you think you can trust them..

Fmd Melbourne.

    [censored] ****house they are bathwater [censored] can't be trusted. Gawn has been putrid. Cunnington and Goldstein tearing us apart.

     

    Brown looks a mile off. Not sure our forwardline is mobile enough with him in.. and when was the news broken about Tom McDonald being a late out?

    All the positive indicators of this game that makes me nervous. The word ‘upset’ was invented for these kind of games. All other sides have produced a shocker this season except us. 

    Bump


    Well i guess the fans who backed against the Dees as insurance have the consolation of some winnings. And whoever backed North to win by 40 will be [censored] all over themselves

     

    Is something wrong with Gawn?? He looks like Jake Spenser our there

    T Mac HAS to go to defence and free up Lever

    I'm not watching and I don't want to follow the game via this thread as I've learnt over the years it's always extremely negative.

    But a quick look at the score and stats tells me all I really need to know.

    North's only kicked two scores higher than this in their first six games, and it's only half time. They've won both quarters despite having only won six quarters across their first six games. They have the top five possession getters and 8 of the top 11. They're on top in CPs and clearances, they're +21 in uncontested marks, they're +7 in inside 50s, and they've taken 9 marks inside 50 to our 2.

    This screams workrate. Not winning it inside, not stopping them spreading it outside, therefore not getting it in our forward half.

    Again, I haven't watched a second of footage, but I'm sure this is Cairns 2020-esque.

    Im very critical of Goodwin but this is purely about our midfielders not working hard enough. Oliver and Brayshaw need to lift a lot.

    Do we have a winner on the ground? Kozzie doing his big bit can’t think of another 

    Ed's been good.  Spargo not too bad in patches. LJ good also.  Has Tmac had a possession? 

    The rest are asleep at the wheel.  That kick from Tracc running into an open goal and instead goes short straight to a Norf player in the pocket.  I've been saying all year...sort that shiiit out!  Go for goal when all options look covered.  Its costing us so many potential goals after alot of hard work only to see the ball turned over or rushed for a point.

    Loss of Viney pre game (oh to have named Sparrow as an emergency) and Tomlimson a few mins in has rooted our structure. Add to that our sharpness and effort being off we are in strife. Big big lift needed in 2nd half.

    Worst half of footy we have payed for the season. 
     

    Melk should play in Casey for a fair few games from next week.

    Hibberd to cunnington. Kozzie in the middle, petracca fwd

     

    I'd like to at least see that

     

    Cunnington getting 400 possessions every time we play them is infuriating

    • 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.
