Just give us the 4 points so we can go home and never speak of this game again.

    Woeful half of football from both sides 

    Looks poor here how does it look on tv?

    He will fit right in here then. 

    Do we know his username on DL? 

     

    Fox footy are on the mark with us.  Out of form, out of confidence.  Forward connection is terrible, don’t kick to space or advantage, bomb it in.

    Selfish plays either not taking the best option, or not hearing it or expecting them to be there

    Good players missing easy targets.  Dropped marks.  Gawn seems either underdone or disinterested - there’s no fire there, no angry Max.

    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. 

    I just want to win tonight, don’t care how or by how much

    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.

    I think I've just got low expectations of our skill level right now anyway so I just want an ugly win. 

    But if we kkkeep plugging away tje confidence will return and we'll hit more targets.

    Worse, very mundane. What strikes me the most is how quiet the crowd is... Doesn't look like a Friday night game crowd.

    Yeah geewhiz that was ordinary viewing. 
     

    Time for another blunt.

    Not much better.

    Get our disposal right and it will be better.

    No, it's a Dees home game

    There are some on this forum who appear to have social health issues. MFC is well infront of bluebaggers. Relax . Most sides are winning  below par games. Relax or we might lose. Shut up.

    Max looks like he’s playing injured, and we are missing Oliver big time, get him back and we will be ok!

    Will Viney miss next week with his illegal tackle early in the first quarter?

    It's touch and go for me 

    It is a very hard game to talk up. But Judd McVee has looked the best he has for a while and looks to have so much room for improvement.

    Just gotta get the four pints tonight. This game is absolute trash. Unbelievable this is modern day AFL with the best athletes and players in the land. The talent pool isn’t big enough it seems.

    Nice finish Van Rooyen.

    Not sure Joel Smith has justified his selection 

    Hasn't played at this level for ages.

    Needs at least 2 matches at this level to find the pace surely.

    He's got to a few contests and a decent chase down at one point.

    Needs to hit the scoreboard a few times in this second half though.

    A few other regular campaigners up forward in the NQR mix in that first half also.

    He plays for Melbourne. So yes.

    Our field kicking entries into 50 are deplorable, none of our forwards double back enough to accept that easy hit up.

    Friggen frustrating as we are in these positions so often, this game should be iced and put to bed.

    • 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.
