Try Toby in the middle, as he hasn’t done a thing and should be fit and fast, if they can give him the ball at stoppage.

    Apart from continually letting Port move it from full back to half forward with a series of uncontested small kicks (which is making me yell at the TV screen) our contested ball play is killing Port. And funny how good BBB looks when a kick goes to his advantage!

    21-14 hit outs but only 19-31 clearances. Nothing changed from last round. Still a big problem.

    Doesn’t help that we are missing the best clearance player in the game.

    We never seem to have any fwds on the goal line. Infuriating

    instead we keep them around the 50m mark to try and keep the ball in the f50

     

    This is barely watchable.

    Tmac hasn't torn this season apart but since he's been out our fwd line isn't functioning as well.

    please just grind a win  its top 4 at stake  !!!!!!

     

    I thought for a year now that Port had cleaned up their act, but my faith has been restored, they are still the same mob of dirty bast$#%@ that they always have been, and, when you get the imprimatur of three maggots to push, pull, punch and scrag,  well it's all go, isn't it.

    There is a bloke missing for us.

    Stoppage clearances 22 to 11 at 3/4 time Need to lift

    I know be pessimistic is a right of passage on this site but OMG Kossie is so far the best little man in comp

    Let's not forget how many players have missed games thus year due to injuries  and protocols.

    You can't just waltz in after and absence and play your best by any means.


    Sparrow zero awareness ... my god

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
