    I’ll take 20 points but we should be 30 points up.

    And not doing enough to get it out.
    Got tackled and layed there.

    A crap quarter. Poor quality game. If we play 1% better we will win by 50-80 points. Would like to win some clearances. 
    Viney is still a liability.

    Hope vanders is ok.

    Good 1st quarter. Spargo probably our best with trac

    He was walking around. Seems ok. Thankfully. He’s actually played well. Hit targets by foot. 
     

    JJ playing the Gus wing and Gus playing more inside?

    JJ looks great in this weather

    He isn't one for the flashy stuff but he rarely makes mistakes.
    Vandenberg might disagree though ?

    Vanders playing well. 

    Viney playing like an absolute crab.

    There’s going to need to be some tough calls later in the year if JV7 doesn’t improve. He’s the complete opposite of a crisp footballer at the moment.

    Plenty to like. Spargo's ball use. Lever and May doing their thing. Vanders has looked great Four great passes.

    Jordon, Rivers and JAcko doing some good things.

    Ben Brown's groundwork is much better than at any time in his career. If he can get his marking right, look out.

    Basically going as I expected so far. Some of the looks they’ve gotten are a bit clean for my liking, but I’ve liked our functioning in the forward fifty. Brown is illustrating again the difference between dropping marks and contesting. 
    Keep it up fellas!

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
