    Feel your pain. We can't go to the G either obviously. Covid is a biatch

    Should be a good game in Metricon today though. You can provide a scouting report on the Suns. They've been playing well and will be difficult opponents for us next week

    Watching other top 4 teams put away bottom sides vs us struggling go figure

    28 points is hardly putting a team away.

    We beat the Dogs by 28.

    If the news report is correct that Pendlebury has a broken leg that could be the end of a great career.

    Amazingly consistent contributor. I suspect he would make a good line coach if he decides to go that way.

    why do people assume a good player will make a good coach?

    how do you teach someone how to move thru traffic like pendles?

    Start of rd I led the work tipping by 4.

    I took Pies over Carlton. My best mate said Blues would win and that Pies are tanking. I asked why, you’ve already got Daicos and you just beat the Tigers. His answer was to use less points. I honestly believe they had the better team going into last week yet seemingly went home at 3/4 time.

    Took Lions over Tigers, must of been only person not aware it was Reiwoldt’s 300th game. Still after being burnt by tigers four weeks running I jumped off, also thought Lions would have point to prove.

    Headed into this week with a 2 point lead.

    We have to have our tips in 2 days before first game, so I took Carlton, then McKay pulls out yesterday. I was seriously considering taking North before this but with things so close went back to the North/Hawks/Pies will tank from here on in theory….

    Took it each way in a few multis, very interested to see how this plays out.

    Just saw 2 players run within a couple of metres of the player with the mark and then a player swung 360 with the ball and then hold it, while he booked an uber and guess what, play on, nothing to see here. I think back to Gawn’s 50 penalty last week, which cost a goal, when he was about 30 metres from the player with the mark and was following his man and the Tracc holding the ball, after a 1 second tackle on him.

    I have loved the consistency of umpiring this season.

    Misses a simple 15 meter set-shot and in the next play goals with the overhead kick. Classic Daniher

    It's a long way better than a loss to bottom six sides or a draw against Hawthorn who  have not been able to beat time with a stick.

    Huge round for us.

    If we lose and Brisbane and Sydney both win, we'll be 1.5 games safe inside the 8 with 4 to come. Puts our top 4 spot in the most jeopardy it's been for the entire season.

    But of course, if we win and Brisbane and Sydney both lose, we'll be 3.5 games safe inside the 8 with 4 to come, which means we'd only have to win one more game for the rest of the season to lock in the top 4.

    Still not convinced Carlton have a good list, on this showing they need a lot. And Davies-Uniacke is becoming a serious player.

    Carlton are still coming…

    Are they tanking to get a bottom pick for Cerra?  Petrevski Seton wanted by Dockers and together with a high pick and something else, might get a deal done.

    PS: I know players don’t tank.

    There's no way they're tanking.

    For one, they're not going to slide lower than one more spot on the ladder. So it's a one pick benefit.

    For another, they were still, going into this week, very much in the finals race. If the favourites win this weekend Carlton would, with a win, end up one game out of the 8.

    It’s possible. But I doubt it. The Coach is under the sword so i would expect the players to be going hard. 
    They are just a very average list that is paid way too much

    Just a matter of when rather than if. Can't totally blame him in a way, that panel he has looks like a very very weak one, but he's the boss so he pays the cost.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      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.
