The hyper-fixation on Melbourne's performance at the moment is weird. On Fox Footy they were analysing "defensive breakdowns" of when the Bulldogs kicked goals last week. I mean how else do teams ever kick goals if not for some level of defensive breakdown? We're being picked on now.

Jon Ralph just said that there is some significant good news on Tom McDonald a d there could be a big chance he plays comes finals.

Richo tonight said they were hopeful but it was a long shot. Be interested to hear what Ralph says.

I like it tbh. We're not irrelevant anymore.

    Every single club other than ours announces every player in the team. I personally don't need it but it not a bad touch I guess.


    Prime time… 

    Let’s rip them a new one….

    How frig'in embarrassing . . . Taylor and Hodge wondering around on the ground talking absolute siiiiite. Hodge walks like he's got a cricket bat up his clacker, and Taylor a goal post. And any chance wardrobe could organise suits that fit?

    See Gus warming up in the centre square - fingers crossed.

    Playing some midfield time tonight according to Goody and Richo.

    I think we can win tonight, and should, but gee I'm nervous, because we really need to signal a turn in form as turn towards finals. If we lose, we could drop to 6th, which will make things a little ugly.

    But that's all moot.

    We're gonna win tonight, because we're going to come out breathing fire. We have to. We'll want revenge for that game earlier in the year.

    Go Dees 🔥

    GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!


    The dockers always love to go backwards to set up their forward counter.  You gotta be right up in their face most of the time to kill that.  No BS full zone defence this week.  Bring that and we're toast

    Melky Burnt......but it was a gettable shot.


    Bailey will enjoy the heat coming off him

     

    Richo is usually ok but seems to be barracking for the Dockers....Oh for an impartial competent commentary team.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
