Jetta unfortunately looks cooked.

I was shocked that he came in...

    Backline and forward lines both struggling massively. Crowd transition out of defense is putting us under huge pressure. They always have 2-3 players waiting to rush it out.

    We also are badly missing Salem.

    They are playing well with their short kicks. 

    We have shown up though.

    Wow we got sliced open through the middle then. 

    If Salem is seriously injured, we can kiss the premiership goodbye. We look a hot mess down back. 

    If we could stick a tackle and keep a track of the matchups when running back we would be 3 goals up.

    May has had an awful game reading the incoming ball so far.

    Folks. I think we're in a game today. 

    Credit to the crows. they're taking the game on through the corridor.

    What really cheesed me off was the moment we lost a couple of centre clearances they scored. Nothing like how we’ve been lately defensively

    Can’t believe I’ve only got 3 beers left in the fridge. 
    Hurry up half time.

    I really do think the sun has been influencing a lot of that. 

     

    Credit to Adelaide, they have been bold. When they get the ball in their defence they move it quickly with short kicks and then get their handball running game going. I don’t know if we are allowing them to do it by being too loose but for me it looks too easy. 

    We had some very good chances to get some more goals but fluffed it, disappointing that Melksham couldn’t make the distance as he’s usually a better kick than that. 

    We’ve given up a good 2 very cheap goals, we’re in front but at 3 goals in front with 5min to go I would’ve hoped to be further in front at quarter time.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
