We should have run. Collingwood have sustained a long tireless effort to get to the position they are in. It’s not usually sustainable. I think the last quarter will see us out hustle the Pies.

First goal kicker for filth was wearing CANARY YELLOW.

 

Same thing happens every week long bombs into our forward line straight to the spare in defense ffs!!!

For some reason we  insist on using the opposite wing 99% of the time.

    Where has our energy gone? Last year we would run over teams and have some in store.

    Every team hunts us around the packs and outnumber us in the contest, forward and backline and we look flat and uninterested. Maybe the belly is full?
     

    We lose this and we fall back to the pack. Our game plan looks sketchy and our execution is slow and predictable.

    Darren Cahill. Clearly the tickets on the Lions bloke are false

    This games not over and we may win it but I can’t help but think injuries are going to take our shot at back to back. If we get a clear run at it at some point maybe not but we have had no luck. The football gods want it to go elsewhere perhaps this year. We will never look like the team we were last year without continuity. The great unspoken truth of the industry is fitness wins flags and we just can’t get it going. I’ve been team loading for the last two weeks but it becomes irrelevant if you can’t stay on the park.

    Mitch to Mihoczeck


    How is De Goey not pinged for holding the ball when he took the tackler on and got tackled, yet we're getting pinged for the exact same thing?

    [censored] moronic.

    Mitch Brown is a very average footballer

    Who’s going to stand up?? 

    Hey May are you watching this. You would want to come back and put on a good performance against Brisbane. You owe us.

    • 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.
