Free against Gus was wrong. McKay kicked him in the leg. No tackle.

Betchya we don't get one of those gifts in front of goal

Do you blokes bag the umps every week?

we were 5-1 up on the frees at one point. Getting a good run

Playing like this, it doesn't matter where we finish up next week, we'll just be making up numbers. We keep kicking to the wing, but we have hardly anyone who can actually take a mark or kick the goal when they do, and we have Max who doesn't know where the goals are anymore. I hope they have written "buy a good for forward" and a proper forward coach on the whiteboard. 

The window for "we'll come good" is getting smaller by the second.

Ugh, what a waste.

Not sure how Goody can be happy with Max's forward work when he can't finish.

More of the same that quarter unfortunately.

No idea what they do at training, but it’s clearly not working on our forward connection. Just so predictable.


This is going to script for all our losses. Plenty of inside 50s, a lot of effort for not much reward. I predict we'll get overrun in the 2nd half.

Clearly still loading.....

 

 

P.S. we are in front 7-4 in free kicks.

😬

Surely we run over the top of a team who played interstate last week. 2 days after us 

 

Max turning his back to goal really irritates me. Fritsch was in space, not the easiest kick to him but he never even saw it.

Set shots killing is again! 

There’s no need to pinpoint everything. This might sound counterintuitive but observe what Collingwood did last week. Gain territory and have a bit of confidence in the forwards to get into the right spot.

Waiting till things get clogged up again will stuff us.

Frees:  Melbourne 7  Carlton 4.  But let's blame the umps, hey?

Agreed. The umpiring has been fine. 


Oliver doing well as os Viney.

Defence and pressure solid. Good start

need to inject some flair now


My head is starting to hurt.

Gee they really needed to review that?

 

I've said it b4 and will keep doing it

 

 

Make Kozzie our goal kicking coach.

 

He can't miss.

I think we will win this easy. When we've been losing we've been letting oppos score heavily early. We've tightened up defensively all over and will grind them into the ground throughout the game.

 

 

 

 

Hopefully...

  • 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.
