GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Essendon

Yep Hunter, you’re not up to it, scared of contact 

 

I hate to say it.  I love JVR, but he's just not there at the moment.  TMac tries his heart out, but I think the game has past him by now.  Ordinary from Clarry and Trac tonight.  We just don't have a functioning forward line.Cover Fritta and we are gone at the moment.

I thought Petty started in defence

Yeah he did, my bad

Oh please, we had just as much to play for as Essendon.

Good on them for pumping us, we are downhill skiers at the best of times.

People will agree and disagree, fact is we went out in straight sets last year without a whimper.

This performance shows me that if a few are off, do others stand up?

We’ll probably respond next week, then who knows after that.

It’s Essendon FFS.

 

So we're 5 goals down. Those 5 goals we let both there ruckman kick. 

Good they can stand out in the rain and cop it.

This has really shown us up. We can either embrace it and change for the better, or just ignorantly paper over the cracks thinking it will all just sort itself out.

I thought Goodwin had learnt from last year... Maybe we are wrong 🤔

What about the two our ruckman should have kicked.

The lack of leadership is the worst part of this game for me. Nobody has stood up today and wanted to really change the state of play. Embarrassing. 


Where the [censored] are our dangerous tackle frees? 
 

Redman can flop around like an ice skater and get one. Petty gets pile driven into the ground with out the ball and gets [censored] all

Our players are slung or pushed so many times after   they have kicked the ball.

Oliver did try to impose himself in the last, too little too late.

May is worrying at the moment.

Getting this to under 20 points would be a huge win.

  • 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.
