What’s worse? The umpires, our forwardline or our inability to play without May?

Doing an Amber in the bed when we get out to a 25-30 point lead.

    Our supporters barely make any noise. Hasn't all year.


    For a team that prides itself on its contested ball we are doing a lot of ball watching. Bowey twice has watched a swans player claim a mark that was clearly touched yet no tackle laid. General lack of intensity and poor by hand.

    Great idea dropping the Weed, this is a joke.

    It's been relentless

    definitely feels like we are outnumbered here tonight

    Tackles 26 - 44

    Not enough pressure

    Missing May badly, not just in what he does, but in how the backline sets up. He's the anchor point, around which all the others play. Not helped by Salem being rusty and Thomlinson being reminded that it's a bit of a step up from the VFL.

    As for up the other end ... Van Royen can't develop quickly enough. 

    Our forward line and movement into forward 50m is really bad.

    Better off playing 16 men than the Brown Brothers thus far,


    Midfield not clean. Stepped up the pressure on Jackson and he hasn’t handled it well at all.  Salem looks out of it.

    This is really interesting now. We get to see if we are up for the fight.

    Being outworked all over the ground, not sure if the Swans can maintain that sort of effort. geez we are struggling to organise without May back there

     


    Petracca and Oliver well down. All disposals mainly junk.

    THERE WOULDNT BE UMPIRE DESCENT IF THEY COULD DO THEIR JOB. 

    BUNCH OF USELESS FLOGS.

    They will. They finish strong. 

    The bye really couldn't come soon enough.

    So many of the teams we've played thus far have thrown absolutely everything at us. Almost every game has been a grind. We just look so tired.

    It's really quite concerning how we look though. Don't think we win tonight. Sydney look just as Freo did.

    Seriously I love how every team is suddenly made up of aerial superstars whenever they play us. Sydney hasn't looked this good all year.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
