We didn’t capitalise but it’s pretty clear we should win this. Just need to come out composed and take our chances. 

Would love a win at kardinia to kick off the end of the week!!

 Let’s go Dees

 

Geelong flogging us in the tackle count.. most of their tackles don’t count however as they are off the ball.

    Hawkins super surprised the umpires don't listen to his demand for a free on the siren. Don't those fans/umpires listen anymore! Write a letter to Gil, Tom. He'll overturn it

    Brayshaw needs to work at the meat department. He’s a butcher.

    Maybe during the week focus on your kicking skills instead of playing golf!

    Hate potting my own players and his 2 finished have been important but kozzi had played one of the softest games i can remember

    Langdon has been similar.

    Geelong players allowed to take on tackles. Ball up. 

    So many fend offs that we've wrapped up in tackles

    It's 70 to 51 Melbourne's way

     

    Viney is carrying our midfield this past few weeks. Such a workhorse and getting back to his damaging best.

    Gawny is really struggling. The balance with him and Grundy just isn’t working and it’s effected Gawns form badly now. Need to rethink how we use him and have a word to the umpires about how often he’s blocked or belted off the ball!

    Why’s that not fifty against Hawkins? 
    torp from the middle no one on the line defending the dribble……..

    I was hoping for a 50, then because Hawkins would still be arguing we’d get a second 50 and a shot on goal

    Hunter’s over the head no look handball to Brayshaw towards the end of that quarter was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

    I cannot remember a worse team that the current Melbourne team, for giving up goals/opportunities for goals in the last minute of a quarter. I turned to my wife and said, "watch this, mindless turnover coming up followed by shot on goal..."

    If we could kick, no-one would get anywhere near us. I know it is wet, but our kicking remains our biggest issue.


    Can’t believe they’ve taken a running player off to sub Spargo in when it appears that Petty is a mile off.

    Brayshaw is no 1 turnover merchant atm

    As a percentage of disposals i would like to wager Lingers is worse.

    Gus yes but not as a ratio.  Gets alot more of it.

    That last kick was a horror though.

    Umpiring is embarrassing.

    So Chandler gets taken high but continues to play on as no call.  Then as he's attempting to kick the goal the ump calls the free but then says he's taking advantage.

    Geelong tossing it around like a rugby ball.... never called.  Viney attempts an overhead HB and according to the commentators he "may have got a fist to it" .... pinged straight away.

    But to add insult to injury just prior to that the Geelong defender grabs the contested ball 20m out from our goal throws out a don’t argue but gets tackled to the ground holding the ball. Definite free kick but nup not from these Nuppties! 

    We either run away with this or Scott pulls something out of his [censored] and we lose.


    Time to put these pussycats away!

    We should run them off their feet now. We are coming off a 10 day “bye” and them off a 6 day break from Adelaide.

    Gus Brayshaw. 

    We had 30 second and he had the ball with zero pressure. On the wing. All it needed was a kick to the advantage to a forward (at the very least). What does he do? 

    Kicks the ball out on the full. 

    It is genuinely astonishing how often we do that sort of thing. And from him in particular.

    Its just so lazy.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
