    The viewing experience at this ground is atrocious 

    I will never understand why you bother coming to the footy only to spend half the game going in and out of your seat to drink. Like why not get drunk for free at home?

    I’ve been lectured fairly solidly by some here for calling out Pickett’s performances these past couple of months. Obviously he’s got a whole half of football to make amends, but if this form continues tonight, those lecturers can stick their stat sheets where the Sun don’t shine. 

    Personally I know where to stick the stats sheets full stop..

    Kozzy is scared for the contest after getting suspended early in year he needs a spell 

    he has to tackle someone before that becomes a risk, and so far there has been no danger of that happening.

    The Saints threw everything at us in the first qtr and we took it well. I expect us to run away with this in the second half.

    Nup...one touch in a half.

    Needs to subbed off.

    Can't carry that. We didn't Spargo.

    Who’s the third? 
     

    King, Ross and who else?

    Lots of poor decisions and pressure/defence from half forward to the half back line has been very minimal, they are finding a lot of easy passes through the middle. 
     

    We are up, they have 3 players out. If we lose this then this will go down as bad a loss as the clubs had. 
    Lots need to change in the second half, compose with ball in hand is the most important. We are making so many mistakes under minimal pressure. Clean that up and we run away with this. Don’t or underestimate their desire and we lose. Lyon will have them pushing themselves to beyond their normal limits this second half.

    Goodwin needs to find a way to get this team back to 21 when they hunted teams and had an edge to them.

    Didn't catch the name someone got collected in a marking contest before halftime 

    Selection of Spargo and Melksham has been much criticized. Both are doing far better than the much-vaunted Kozzie.  It's baffling and frustrating because we all know how dynamic Kozzie can be.

    Goodwin put a rocket up picketts [censored] at half time. If we are any sot of side with their injuries we should win by 10 goals.

    Ok, no idea what the [censored] you are on about @Macca I’ve no agenda against Brayshaw, but you have singled me out for some reason. What ever. 

    I'm simply saying that his good work never gets recognised nor are other players who make the same errors (under pressure) being pointed out

    It's just always Brayshaw and never anyone else.  Except for maybe ANB and that's often unfair as well

    Both players are in the thick of things and both are often under the hammer when disposing of the ball

    Neither player is A grade so they are going to make a few errors.  From my point of view, it's easy to deal with

    The bigger issue are the players who aren't getting the ball enough.  Now that is a problem.  Or those who can't kick straight for goal

    Brayshaw has had 12 disposals and none of his few errors have led to opposition scores anyway ... anyone would think that he's turned the ball over 12 times given the levels of exaggeration on these threads

    • 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.
