Dogs could not have had a better quarter, remain calm.

Really. They could have kicked 10

    I felt it didn’t look like a Melbourne game the first qtr. We got a few flukey goals and a couple from first half turn overs, we didn’t get too many through our conventional method which was a worry.

     

    Our kicking for goal has been crap again - Dogs got a couple of lucky ones in comparison.

    Gawns shot looked a goal. We  must have had a crap camera angle.

    Petracca , Salem , Max , Brayshaw trying their hearts out.

    Why Does our defense all of a sudden look so fickle?

    Gee May is a liability, not flying for the ball, caught well behind, fumbling the ball. 

    That fumble in the first quarter was a shocker too. He doesn't look right at all.

    Why didn't we even see a review of that? It looked like a goal on the broadcast. Very confusing.

    I jumped off the couch when he kicked it looked like it went straight through. Gawny thought it was a goal.

    Fritsch has been poor the whole finals series. His kicking inside 50 has been shaky, keeps trying a kick running parallel to the goals and has missed it multiple times.

    Seriously? He kicked 6 goals in the first two games of the finals series. He was poor this quarter but to say that he's been poor the whole finals series is just wrong.

    The Melbourne of 2021 turns it around and regains control this quarter. But Grand Finals are different. It is definitely the Dogs' game to lose at this point.

    May carrying his injury? Whatever it is, he isn't himself.

    Can't let Bont mark uncontested, surely someone can get a fist on the ball

    Petty is our only tall defender, May looks injured and Lever has been really scrappy. Also, we don't have Smith as an emergency to cover May. TMc hasn't fired a shot up forward. If May can't play we need to get him off, move TMc forward and put JJ on the tag.

    Huge effort needed from here

    we got ambushed in that 2nd Quarter 

    • Sad 1

    I feel sick right now. I'm scared to see what happens next, especially if the Dogs get the first goal in Q3.

    It’s all on the line this quarter 

    Have we got the balls for it ?

    How was the pie?

    But yes. Premiership quarter coming up. Carn Dees


    Need some Kozzie magic

     

    Our wings have been ordinary

    Our fwds are struggling

    Our defence is in complete disarray

    Our mids are missing

    Grounds balls are being won by the dogs

    Viney and harmes need to clamp someone.  TMac WTF?

    Goodwin has an opportunity to show the world what he made of. 

     

    Our leaders need to lead

    We missed some great opportunities in the first quarter too, that really burns.

     

    It should be easy to stop Bont. He is setting up space to run into to mark. Just need to block it.

    I feel like we are doing nothing to counter the Schache tag. What should happen is May should line Schache up and run right through him at the start of Q3. Make him think twice

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
