    Each game brings its unique challenges which are different from the assumptions made prior. This is a good test. And yet we are double their score.

    Fair dinkum, the biased umpiring in the West Coast games should come under investigation. Of course nothing will happen with the protected species they are. Makes watching so hard. 

    The Ump #6 is atrocious.  Dumbfounded by his calls thus far.

    In a game like this you look for positives........

    Fritsch ... maybe

    I'm positive we could use the ball betrer and umps could start to ping eagles players for incorrect disposal.

    Fritta on fire. Oliver his usual self. We are using are wings again well. Anb working hard.

    We are doing ok. It’s hot, the Eagles have a plan, and 4 supporters on the field pretending to be umpires.

    I feel like some of our players are doing well. Jack Viney is growing with every game, Nibblers tackling has been great, and Fritta knows where the goals are.

    Koz needs more work on his goal kicking. It’s a raffle. He’s much better in traffic.

    I’m not at the game, 640MD. I’m watching it on the big screen at a pub in Richmond, celebrating another crazy Dee’s birthday.

    And a 6 day break and yet, Saints and Bombers yet to leave Victoria.

    LOL how quickly it goes from 100 point thumping percentage booster to I just want a win.

    Good sides bury this mob with 7 out, it's all about percentage for this game.

    If we ratchet up our own pressure and really crack in and win contested footy, we’ll do much better from stoppage and that should hopefully clear up transition from d50.

    Trac has 2 contested possesions, no tackles and 1 clearance so far. Needs to lift.

    The Eagles are cracking in and taking it on. Nothing wrong with our effort but our focus and attention to details is lacking. Would prefer us to simplify and stop the Hollywood handballs. 

    Yeah credit to WC for putting in the effort but we have not come to play. We are taking it too easy. Playing loose and not enough effort with ball use.

    I always worry about games we should win easily that we get to complacent and dont come out to play. today seems to be a bit like that, we lose to bottom sides too frequently. We need them to focus on beating this mob, playing our brand of good football not their wresting match which leaves many decisions in the umpires hands, either to ignore frees that are there or pay them. so far we seem to have gotten the short end of the stick. Given the heavy eagle crowd i dont see that changing in the second half. We need percentage and show that we can beat sides well.

    We're a good side but that's just not the Melbourne way.

    WC will hit a wall at 20-minute mark. Will still be a 10-goal win.

    • 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.
