It seems an absolute eternity since bang bang bang.  
Come on Dees - make a statement.  
PS buy a strong marking forward, somehow, over the trade period.  It is THE difference between garbage and success. BBB is stuffed.

    He’s having a great game but he’s missed three sitters still which might be costly. Were they not sitters? We must be watching different games 

    I'd hardly call all 3 of them sitters. 1 of the 3 perhaps. 2 at a massive stretch of the definition of a sitter.

    We just need to limp across the line. This has been really, really hard. Blues are up and about as they should be, finals at stake, Paddy wants to be there. If we do not bring it this quarter we can forget about anything in September.

    I am dead serious, another game we have led at every change. If we drop this then we clearly have a mental issue at play. We need to get over the line, the world of good that will do mentally.

    You can see it coming a mile away. We will get overrun. 


    Well just as I bag Tracc he shows some good form.

    Always the way.

    Hope he keeps it up.

     

    We need to show we can come up trumps when challenged.

    Forward line ... not quite happening, chemistry just not there. Playing as a group of (talented) individuals rather than a team. Odd, as they've had plenty of time together.

    Missing Tom Macdonald to help get the system working again?

    Can we try Petty up fwd?

    With Disco in  defence. 
    Ir debut JVR next week.  Anything else is worth a try. 
    This is not working. 
    Just cannot have Melksham and Frittata as our only forwards.

    I can see Spargs or ANB getting the bullet for someone, may as well be another borderline player with no awareness or game sense 

    Try up forward was the suggestion, not many other options and the current set up is going nowhere

    Start bagging some more of the blokes please! 😂

    I’d like to win, for a lot of reasons, but mostly so I can stick it up the whiners sitting around me.

    Sparrow was dead set all by himself on the 50 in the corridor. FMD this kick in play is just infuriating. If you can my hit that kick with no pressure, what the f are you playing afl for. 

    Correct.

    And our last F50 entry we turned over as usual, we had a guy on his own screaming for it 30 out and ignored.

    We must reverse this narrative CYB. No other option.

    Where was Langdon most of that quarter?

    Not really the same since his injury I feel.

    Just a limping shadow of last year. Carlton without Kennedy, Cerra and Hewett should mean this game goes one way. And yet they’re making us look slow, uncertain, fumbly and secondary at contests. Their plan for this quarter will be pressure, turnover, forward at speed. Ours will be the predictable usual, allowing them to set up that manic contest again. Like last week, we won’t get  it done that way.

    Sensing (hoping) a big last quarter from Fritsch 🤞

    Well 3 touches for the night would indicate he is fresh

     

    I think we should bomb it into our forward 50 this quarter. See how we go

    • 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.
