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

This, team have a golden opportunity and Goodwin again gets it wrong at selection table.

Hunter is having a mare.

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

Can someone explain why they think Kossie should be a midfielder?

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.

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

So say the victims of the crime.

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

July 30, 20232 yr

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

July 30, 20232 yr

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

When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
