They are picking us apart. Look much more likely forward. Cleaner and better numbers to the fall of the ball. 
 

we look like we are under committing at the contest. Seems deliberate.

 

We've been let off massively with ports goalkicking. They are finding targets inside 50 way too easy.

    lol it is not. Port ain't bad.

    Not sure what game you are watching - we look 2nd rate. Late to the ball. Outnumbered at contest. Hacking the ball when in possession . 

    Our only goal has come from a dubious 50m penalty.

    FMD what a disaster of a quarter. 
    Sloppy, soft, messy.

    We can’t handle the hot ball. Stock standard Melbourne. 

    Dove head first

     

    what studs are we wearing? we're slipping whenever we take possesion

     


    They're out numbering us around the stoppages.

    So many more Port players then us 

    We look completely sluggish

    Really frustrating watching this quarter. 
    Why is May miles off his man???

    Been frustrating this whole season so far. Patchy in all games.


    Isn't it not a high free if you duck into it???

    Port deserve that lead. We are playing pathetic football. 
    If we don’t start getting our act together through the middle, we can kiss this game goodbye. 
    As for our backline, the less said the better.

    Was hoping we'd get away with that quarter but no we definitely had to gift them so they had reward for effort. Port in the drivers seat

    This has been bugging me for ages now, why, whenever we have a rushed kick do we sky ball it? Seems literally everyone else's rushed kicks are stab passes which often land in their team mates lap. Ours are ALWAYS spoiled and often rebound back the other way

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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.
