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.

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
