Clayton Oliver. My goodness if that's a junior game you'd be taking him off the ground at half time as to not destroy the confidence of everyone else. Unbelievable.

    a good quarter could have been great if we had kicked straight. still a handy lead, now start again and build on it, dont go into a shell and try to defend.  Need to continue to attack, and preferably kick straighter. Fritch probably needs to banana kicks more when he is on a 45 degree angle as he seems to miss these the most. Go Dees

    An absolutely incredible quarter. Every facet except... scoreboard. 

    It'll be bloody amazing viewing on the replay... only if we win. Traumatic if we lose.

    Keep the heat Dees.

    Dangerous margin.. hopefully they come out breathing fire and kick straight

    The dreaded 30 point lead.

    We should be another four goals up but it’s clear we are the better team, need to put them away early and kill this contest for good.

    Tracc's significant goal on the training track from here on is to find some options by foot or hand when he gets the ball around the arc.  Needs to find some finesse or just kick it to the hot zone if no one available for BB/Macca to take a run at it and possibly Kozzie / Spargs mopping up.

    Should come with alot of hard work but seems a fair way off it right now.

    Closer to goal, within about 30, he appears much more dangerous.

    That was much better. We could have killed this game if we kicked straight. Game is still there to be won but we are doing very well. Brisbane will reset and come out firing. 
    We must come out strong after half time. 

    Yep, play the full 4 quarters Dees, there’s 2 weeks to rest at stake.

    Remember last week. A margin like this is nothing. We have to keep playing fast and working hard. A couple of little bad signs in that last few minutes. Brown marked it outside fifty and didn’t pull the trigger on the pass as he had earlier…… 

    Kepp. Working. Hard.

    McDonald started to get into it & lever  & max looked much better. Just need to keep doing what we did that quarter & finish off. But I would have taken this lead at 1/2 time especially at 1/4 time when it was close

    Trac has been good in close. Two poor shots on goal and a bad entry undid all his good work but his work inside a big reason why we are so far ahead.

    Good kicking is good footy

    If tracc can kick straight / smarten up and we keep this up we should be ok

    long way to go though - can’t write the lions off ever

    I normally scoff at things like this but I’m open to being converted right now. 

    Lions form coming into this game was a mirage. they are a better than average team and not much more

    • 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.
