Anyone ask Bedford what he was thinking!!!
55 metres out - burning off his opponent - open 50 - open goal square …

and kicks 40 metres to the pocket where no one is. Really defies any level of thinking ?!?!?!  

Langdon didn’t tell him to keep going. Not his fault. He didn’t know what was behind him.

    The lack of quality ruckman huge factor. No Jackson or Gawn any team would struggle. It one of those 4 points games we have to tough out. Crows at home no easy assignment but a loss here will hurt season prospect big time. Damn injuries

    Carlton played two games and win with Silvagni in the ruck !! How … quick play and don’t kick to their ruckman in a pack. Ffs.

    WTF. Everytime ball goes in Crows 50 Walker gets a head high tackle. And May needs to stop kicking long to the Crows ruckman. Just dumb.

    yep he does the same kick everytime. There is no gawn there today. 

    We have to be so much smarter kicking into our 50. Lower the eyes and look. Just don't bomb it in. 

     

    Put Pickett in the middle for a bit. Two touches?! Come on we need him involved. We look rank forward of centre. As per.

    If we  know we are losing the ruck then play to their ruckman, stats early in that quarter had us winning more than adelaide from their taps. its around the ground that we need to lift. we can get buy without a ruckman in the ruck, but we sorely miss a marking ruckman around the ground, neither of the Browns or weid are doing that job and it is cost us big time in turnovers.

    Can't have top spot decided before Round 23, unless Geelong are going to be it.

    He looked gassed about 10 min into that qtr.  No tank

    For a bloke who's struggled to get a game for 3 years

    You reckon he'd be ripped and fit and be able to run all day...

    Comfortable at Casey


    Sub Brown off as he looks injured and stick Tomlinson in as a forward. 
     

    Can’t hurt to try something different.

    Hmmm I’d have to see it again … I think he looked behind first 

    If, in that half, we'd have had Max or Dogga instead of Weiderman, and we'd given them BBB and taken Walker, we'd be totally thrashing then here at half time.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • 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?

    • 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.

    • 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.
