Not playing well and we have lots of guys that are way down on form - Trac, Viney, Melk , Kozzie, Gus …

and a goal down - we need a big lift from these guys asap 

May has been good but honestly to get sucked into Franklin is just so dumb 

That was on the ump.

    STOP FUMBLING THE BLOODY BALL!!!!!!!! CHRIST ALMIGHTY 

    This.

    Same usual suspects in Sparrow and Nibbler who just fumble and cough up the footy so easily.

    Max’s disposal has gone right off. Too many out on the full. That free to Franklin and the subsequent 50 was blatant cheating and the stupid maggots fell for it.

    Swans killing us at the stoppages, sweating on us when we have possession, and building their attack off the turnover. We only win this if we take ownership of the contested pressure game. Just gonna fumble and fiddle our way to a loss otherwise. Longmire is a frankly brilliant coach. 

    No Goodwin is a lousy match day coach

    Not going the way I wanted but it is entertaining. I feel we can come back. I hope they regroup

    Dees playing one spare back so swans have tge extra at stoppage.

    So i dont know why we don't stop with the handball (its bit slippery) and bang it fwd. 

    To that poinr for some reason we are holding it back for more numbers to get back into our fwd 50 rather than go quick to one on one.

    Sound idiotic? Does to me. 

    Blocking free kick against Melk wasn't even looking at the player. Swans player ran into him.

     Viney has been one of the worst offenders.

    Not enjoying this at all.!!!

    Swans can win the flag. They are exceptionally well drilled and coached. Our midfield has been super disappointing.

    I really don't want to play the Lions again next week. Surprised that we are still short in the live betting, Swan still over $2.

    Absolutely. Nibbler had two chances and two misses. He’s had 4 missed tackles in 1st half.

    Melksham needs to lift

    He’s playing on Patrick Mcartin FFS and preventing him from peeling off to intercept 

    oh I forgot many of our supporters are stats driven

    All five were well off the pace in that first half.  Never seen Viney lose his feet so often.

    ANB doing ok or?

    Havent been watching closely but what do ppl think of Sparrow's game?

    Yep. Umps have no feel for the game. Or working eyes.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • 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.
