GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Carlton

BBB is contesting and getting to where he needs to.

But the strength of his contests has been poor. No explosion and one arm contests do not make for good forward craft.

Melky is looking great. Remember a few years ago that he got the highest SuperCoach score recorded against Carlton? Good times.

    Forget Grundy.

    Do whatever it takes to buy a genuine key forward.

    Our forward line is a mess.

    I love BB but ffs the one hand up stuff in a marking contest is not good enough

    We need a forward line.

    Plugger Dunstall and Gordon Coventry would struggle the way we're bombing it in

    100% bank the cash and make a huge play for one of these Blues boys

    Every time Saad gets the ball, we need to absolutely smash him, even if it means a free or two. he's so soft and it really seems to rattle him

    Did anyone see what the free

     down the ground that resulted in frittata goal was for. Did not see it here at the ground. And it’s bloody cold freezings 


    What happened to 2021 Melbourne?

    We would have to be the worst in the league at getting back of the man on the mark and being the slowest to move the ball from a mark. Not many players would get a pass mark at this stage but where in front and hopefully find something in the second half.

    The 1 key forward set up simply doesn't work. Why we have continued to run with this set up is mind boggling.

    The move the ball as slow as possible kick to him out numbered 3 to 1 tactic isn't helping

    Commentators gloating over a "great tight contest". I reckon it has been horrible to watch. Tacklefest, followed by Dees bombing it into the forward line with BBB attempting to mark with 1 hand, followed by more tackling, Blues kick a horrible blind ball to half forward, Dees intercept... rinse and repeat.

    Well done Melksham. Pittonet is a dill. We are a better team but need to CAPITALISE.

    Why was that “a gift” for fritta, he marked it anyway… 

    much happier about this game than the Collingwood and dogs games, blues without their stars are clearly playing as many tagging/negating roles as possible. 

    They won’t be able to keep it up the whole game. I think we will break away and win by 40+ keeping the blues to under 50 points

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
