    Absolute trash football. We need to sort out the forwardline fast. 

     

    Got given a couple free tickets to this game from a family friend who’s an Essendon supporter. In the Middle of their reserved seating. They’re so feral ??

    Gee they flood back...3 against 1 everytime.....

    We can win this...just need that 3 goal run on

    I'd take that 10 times out of 10 if If were an Essendon fan. We threw everything at them for 1 goal 5. Bombers up and about.

    Kozzies delivery poor tonight

    Whole team delivery poor..add the coach too, we have no forward and it looks like it .

     

    what’s with the handballs going higher in the air than distance traveled 

    .

    wake the [censored] up melbourne 

    Glad the break came when it did then. We need to reset with an understanding of how they are trying to play us. 

    Got to work out our plan forward of the ball. Leading forwards and one deep is the go.

    Viney looks off the pace tonight.  Would have Harmes in the middle (running pretty hot of late) and Viney up forward when not benched.  Only minor time in the middle pls in his first game or two back.

    Please Melbourne don’t let this be the start of the end. We can’t keep losing to mediocre teams and expect to win premierships. 
    Big mistake not playing a tall tonight. Perfect conditions so far.

    Bomners with numbers back every time.

    Bb out I just dont get.

    Has the club got the sooks with him?

    We should be winning with our fwd entries but we aint.

    We are relying on Spargo to mark inside fifty.

    Sure we keep sides from high scoring but we cant score ourselves.

    We kick an abysmal score against the pies and we drop sw and replace him with jack v.

    The scoreboard doesn't reflect how dominant we were that quarter. We desperately need to start taking our chances and stop allowing Essendon to look capable of scoring when they get the ball in their forward line. This was a problem we had in 2019.

    If only we had a full forward to kick to.

    Thought our forward line was poor but then realized we don’t have one. 
     

    poor effort 70% time in our forward line and we did nothing with it. poor kicking, poor marking. they are getting their running game going with a free man on the overlap and we are not covering. Need to all lift their game.

    Not for us. HQ need the ladder compacted. Us winning does not result in that.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
