Fortunate to be only 8 points down,  very fortunate

Not really with the 3 sitters we missed in the first. Sib out Harmes for Smith at halftime

    4 free kicks to 2 in a half of footy umps have put the whistle away.  
     

    This game will be won by who can maintain the rage for longer

    Why, thought you are innocent until proven guilty.

    Yeah, fair enough. I’m just thinking how odd these matches would seem in hindsight, should it go south. I can’t recall another example of an AFL player taking the field under such circumstances, but maybe it’s not unique.

    Our tackling weak and ineffective.

    Set shot Goal kicking back to our worst.

    Tigers very hard at the ball and man.

    Still bombing forward instead of putting the ball in front of the player.

    2 frees in a half and umps ignoring our forwards being held on every entry.

    Our fumbling is superb.

    Still a bit unclear on why Marlion Pickett is allowed to play matches right now. Will be very strange if he’s found guilty. 

    Irrelevant comment.And he’s innocent

    Is it just me, or does May look like he's treading water out there? Looks injured and very slow.

    If it went south he might be in jail.

    Anything up to ten unpaid free kicks to the half.

    He was like that last week....


    Oooof what a mess.

    61pts against us, so far, in a half. Our backline is a mess and has been for a while. What happened to our fortress?

    Typical for us to serve this [censored] after port and the lions open up an avenue to second place. 

    And what the hell was that from Gus??

    Kozzie back in the middle, just get Harmes to tag somebody, best use we can get from him, and EVERYBODY PULL THEIR FINGERS OUT and stop giving them cheap goals.

    He has never been that quick and he's not getting any younger.

    Honestly our kicking has been woeful at times 

    Surely not?

    Not just you, looks to be injured or had lost more than a yard of pace and slow to react


    Tigers with thirty more possessions. Need some more players to stand up like Trac and Viney. They can't do it all. That means you Jordan, Gus and Hunter 

    We may be a goal behind but we are being well outplayed.

    Tigers playing Bazball while we look like Australia. 

    Why does Goody to take so long to activate the sub?

    Do we have anyone else in reserve to replace Woey?He's had a good run but he's not doing much anymore.

    Hopefully Chandler and Kozzie get involved in the game.

    Not just you 

    old slow and rubbish below knees

     

    Our bottom six, Harmes, Chandler, Woey, Jordon, etc. really are ordinary.

    Can’t help but think Hibbo would have been able to steady our defence when under pressure. Must play next week.

    • 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.
