    based on the first half you'd have to ask serious questions of brown, brayshaw, hunt, anb, harmes in particular

    i can't believe how badly our form has become for the last six, seven weeks

    absolute golden opportunity in 2021 being wasted

    Lacking composure again. The dogs are making us come at them and then forward running players like Bailey Smith are waltzing out of contests.

    Incredibly frustrating to watch.

    No doubt the dogs are getting a good run with umps too

     

    We are being umpired out of the top 4. Last week, and again tonight. HQ want Port and Brisbane top 4 and we are the unlucky ones.

    Brayshaw no prior tries to get rid of the ball free kick goal to Dogs. Umpire doesn't even know the rule.

    Dogs took their chances. We didn't. They're cleaner in possession where we fumble.

    Clarry immense, Trac and Kossie look sharp. Defensive can't really be faulted but too many others out for form

    We can still win this but it'll take a big effort and someone taking the responsibility to kick straight.

    No cutting edge in the forward line. Which team in this years finals would be scared of this forward setup? 

    Salem turning it over a fair bit tonight.

    We are dominating hit outs but not scoring from clearance at all.

    Langdons form has been scattered at best since he got concussed. I think we're missing his form from the first half of the season more than we realise.

    As usual dont take our chances. You cant have half efforts from players in these conditions (call out to Salem and Brayshaw). Happy to be second to contest and players generally not clean enough.

    Well, that will be remembered as the half of football when Ben Brown lost me as a fan. We really need to finish off our work. it's reminding me so much of our 2017-18 era where we worked incredibly hard and got no reward for it

    It's also hard to tell on the TV, but is anyone else thinking that Viney is supposed to be doing a negating role on their half backs and getting absolutely annihilated?

    15 seconds before, Smith threw the ball out of a tackle…..nothing. 

    Two set shots from 30m out to Brown in a big game and he chokes both times

    just not good enough. Deflates the whole side. Trac and Clarry working their [censored] off for nothing

    Thought we started to get the better of them in the second quarter then Brown misses a chance to bring us within 4. Killer when they convert afterwards.

    Yep I’m considering switching off,

    boring [censored] football. Can’t stand watching Umpiring when dogs are playing. 

     

    14-4 free kick count at half time. The club absolute needs to send a please explain the the AFL about the lack of free kicks paid for incorrect disposal/throwing.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
