I 100% disagree, a little out of it that quarter, but his attack on the ball is light years ahead of TMac

Happy with his efforts. I know others want Brown but I can see what the coaches are seeing.

    Highlight is McVee. Quick, clean, sure handed. Kid is a star.

    At the very least it seems like we can have confidence in our future on the D50.

    McVee, Bowey, Petty very good line-up to take over May, Lever when they retire. And Disco Turner growing season after season.

    Hopefully now we can focus on KPF and some more polish and class with the foot in our midfield.

    Goody will have a good talking to them and they will get it together in the second half.

    Are we winning? Wouldn’t know it with 90% of posts

    We are ahead on the scoreboard as it stands yes. 
    But our game plan and skills are those of an Aussie rules team playing in Canada.

    It’s less about the score and more about the quality on display. It’s really ugly to watch. We are a lot better than this. I hope.

    +9 clearance against a great contested team, a bit more polish and spread and we will get a run going

    My 3 point half time PowerPoint slide headings:
    1. Carlton are rubbish
    2. Dees lack class & polish
    3. Rubbish game of footy with almost no highlights.

    I am so very bored watching this.

    1st half

    Ditto. Terrible suburban league 4 type footy. Turnovers and missed targets by both teams. Rubbish footy. 

    🤮Spargo free kick and goal (ridiculous umpiring even beyond a Ginnivan level) 

    ✅Kozzzy goal but needs to do more 

    ✅ clearances 23-14 stoppages 19-10 

    ✅JVR goal 

    🥔turnovers 37-38 

    🥔umps - free kicks 5-11

     

     

    Remember at half time when you could sit and chat to the person next to you who you are with or enjoy watching the kids play little league. Now we get rubbish techno music and dance cam. Honestly shut the music up

    Those calling for Brown to play need to watch him at Casey. He’s more cooked than a GF snag. Done, finished, retire now.

    I don't like when people just focus on the scoreboard or the ladder.

    As you have said Jaded, we look terrible against a subpar team in Carlton.

    Same. As it is we struggle to keep the ball inside our attacking 50. Smith is a lot more athletic and able to give us better coverage at ground level. 
    Tmac and BB missing is not why we are playing this poorly.

    I’m really hoping we can win the next quarter and then have the game won heading into the last where we can hopefully play a few players into form.

    Awful disposal from both teams. Luckily Carlton have been even worse than us. I wouldn't want to watch the slaughter if we produce this standard against Collingwood.

    • 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.
