Wet weather!

Glad Bowey is in, and Salem. So important not to give turnovers in their forward half.

It will be a territory game, push it forward and fight. 

We have a good balance of young, mature, fast, gut running and powerful players.

Love to see Langdon rip it up and Pickett involved for 4 quarters. 

Plenty of room for BBB to operate, with Fritta leading to smart areas. 

C'mon Dees play as clean as possible and get some goal accuracy. A good start and we are in the box seat.

Would love to see us show up for a fight,  be ruthless and play for each other, team first stuff .

Go Dees.

    Eagles are going to come out breathing fire.  Hope the boys are switched on from the first minute. Hit them hard early and I  believe they will fold.

    West Coast's odds on Sportsbet have considerably shortened.

    60 cent turn around since Tom was ruled out.

    Ask me with about 20 seconds left in the last.

    Melksham is the interesting one - offers a lot if he puts in the required effort. Unfortunately a big if. We now have a reasonable collection of good ball users and an in form tall forward. It should be a Winn ing mix as long as the attitude is good

    Milkshake should be running around like a man possessed tonight. Do you want a chance at a flag?? Just chase and pressure and you’ll be in finals

    Nope.

     

    Unless it helps us make top 2, then yes.

    Will we have crowds at Geelong for our round 23 clash with regional Victoria coming out of lockdown? Interesting.

    Chris Scott just said he wants crowds this coming weekend.

    Nervous and got an uneasy feeling about this.

    Hoping last week wasn't a flash in the pan stuff from Jackson. 

    Harmes needs to show why he deserves to be named starting mid over Viney.

    Gawn going up against one of the premier ruckman in the league. Huge challange. 

    Defence critical tonight..

    More so than a loss, yes. 😁

    Will we score enough without Tmac?

    Not raining yet by the looks of it.

    Strangely I have a good feeling.

    Eagles will throw everything at us but I think our onballers will be the difference.

    Langdon to be back in career best and kozzie to have a night 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.
