Can we get suburban umpires flown in for the last quarter?

    Can't blame the coaches for everything. Players do have brains. Allegedly.

    It’s the coaches job to get these players fired up. We are watching top 4 slip away and nobody cares. 
    Get angry FFS!!!!

    So much for the midfield group stepping up to cover Clarry not being there. Hopeless.

    Our forward entries are putrid. Bomb it in or when we have a fast break into attack our forwards run back toward goal instead of up to the ball carrier

    Summary up to 3Qtr time 

    overhandballing 

    turnovers 

    losing clearances 

    bombs to inside 50

    goody outcoached again 

    missed tackles 

    missed opportunities Fritsch Spargo Kozzzy 

    Surely Spargo has to be dropped 

    WHAT CAN WE DO?

    Just need to be smarter going inside 50

    use the corridor 

    stick tackles 

     

    These guys still think it is 2021, selfish and soft football.

    They aren't going to win games burning so many opportunities and palying selfish football.

    Nothing short of pathetic. Of Goodwin's 6.5 seasons as coach we've put up with 4 seasons of just average football that gets beaten as soon as the pressure is brought around the ball. Freo are a ruckman down, their spuds are running rings around us. It is a common narrative against us.

    Voss v Goodwin next week is battle of No Game Plan From Planet B Coaches.

    Our clearance game is so rubbish. We need wholesale changes next week.

    JVR, Chandler; probably AnB all gotta go

    We have too many smalls in the forward line. One of Spargo, Chandler and ANB need to come out for a mid or tall forward.

    ANB for Melksham.

    Looking forward to the post game thread where people can tell us we don’t understand players roles.

    We overcomplicate this game.

    This score line is not the umpires fault.. we are playing negative & uninspiring footy. Our game plan is playing right into their hands. No dare. 

    And what gameplan is that?

    Pick 13 for Jackson... such good negotiators we are

    But last week Perth media hawking he's no action Jackson.

    Except of course we let him have his best game. So us of old.

    Forget winning a flag. We can't even win this one.

    The wheels have really just fallen off. 

    Tmac shouldn't play again and Grundy and gawn need to take a look at themselves. Lever and may too.

    Top 4 ? We have the hardest draw in the 2nd half. We are a chance to drop out of top 8 after the next 4 games as we have 0-4 written all over us.

    If players need someone to motivate them, they have an issue.

    I’d like to see Gawn hit it to a player in blue just once out of the middle, stand up skipper and be a match winner!

    We have problems everywhere Center clearances, defensive stoppages, ball movement, goal kicking.

    We aren't that quick either.

    Alarm bells are ringing in my head.

     

    If this is how our midfield operates without Oliver then we have a pretty long month ahead.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • 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.
