Lever too has been poor.

And Sparrow's gone missing for the 2nd and third.  

 

Why the heck are we playing a defensive, around the boundary line style against the bottom side? Seriously take the bloody game on

    Because we suffer from CAS (corridor aversion syndrome)

    Partly due to no one leading up at the ball since Petty went off?

    Also until Max switched in late, Grundy got smacked in the third in center bounces and we handed all the momentum (via clearances) to the Hawks

    I hear what your saying but surely when you have an undersized forward line, the slow play around the boundary is only going to allow them to flood into our 50, making it near impossible for us to score 


    Subject to fitness, BBB straight in next week if Petty's injured

    Another very solid game from Gus


    So you're allowed to drag the ball under and just sit on it now??  Oh right....only if it's in front of our goals

    Another horribilis for the umps tonight.  What a sham

    Dunstalls commentary (or should I say barracking for the Dawks) is somewhat unfriggin bearable 🤫

    I don’t know what you are taking about

    seems to be even to me

    no irony

    ANB our leading KTF !  :jakovich:

    Another game, exact same old problems.  Skill level & wasted forward connection/composure. Geelong & Collingwood would tear us apart.  One quarter of elite pressure and then couldn't be assed and started back pedalling through the middle.

    Can't really work out who has played well today.  Quite a forgettable one.  Still can't see any improvement from the back end of last year tbh.

    P.S - May has an amazing habit of getting in the right spot but then dropping the mark. 🤔

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
