Playing himself to a potentially new contract for next year.

Hopefully without it his mate Melksham.  If we need to keep playing hiM we are shot.  Laurie could not have done less.

How many more years on Ben Browns contract? 

Fair dinkum do we need to bite the bullet and bring in JVR?  Brown is absolutely awful, poor guy.

    Melksham doesn't ever expect to get the ball even he's right next to it. Any reason he was named instead of Dunstan. I thought that's why he was signed to the club to fill in for mids who weren't playing. Ffs

    2nd 

    ⭐️⭐️Kozzy goals and dancing shoes 

    👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Viney Hibberd Langdon Sparrow 

    🤮donkeys. (Two certain goals fumbled) Frisch and the milkshake twice 

    🤮Trac missed twice and Fritsch 

    ?? Jackson - so much “potential” 

     

    This team last year was selfless.  Fritsch  is important but so is the team ethos.  Give him a weeks spell as an example.

    Weid or JVR would have been a better selection than Bedford.

    Or Chandler or Laurie  2 disposals 1 tackle we are a man down


    Bedford 2 disposals 

    Melksham 3 disposals.

    Someone please explain two things;

    1. Why was Bedford not dropped? Another week of absolutely zero influence.

    2. What the [censored] is Melkshams role? Dead set absolute witches cone out there with the constant fumbles. Maybe @bing181 can explain? You're big advocate for his selection.

    Ben Brown has taken 4-5 contested marks. I can't remember if he has been outmarked. The one time he gets separation we kick the ball a mile over his head. We have a lot bigger problems today than Ben Brown

    Hooray!!! Somebody talking sense about BBB’s game. Thank you.

    Melksham has been an inspired inclusion! When do we sub Bedford in?

    Bedfords playing had less touches than Melksham. Kozzies been brilliant keeping us in it.

    Where so far off our best footy it’s not funny just need to hope we get over the line somehow. It really is hard to believe where reigning premiers and second on the ladder at the moment. 

    Fritta i would drop you if Tmac wasn't injured burnt another player in the goalsquare.

    He is doing some selfish things of late.

    Leaders need to step up

    Maxy having one of his frustrating games. Trac patchy. Viney not bad but has butchered 2 kicks under no pressure. Fritsch frustrating. May all over the shop

    Bad and all as we are Port are worse. We got to win this game because our run in doesn't get any easier

    Bedford is a ghost out there, unseen.

    Melksham is the worst selection choice of the year for all clubs across the globe.

    • 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.
